I am having issues posting this so I hope this one works.

2, 10 line quick picks for the Mega were sold at seperate times in AZ. They are exactly the same. All lines and all numbers in order.

I cant post the link to it, but it is on az family.

I am having trouble inserting image as well .. below is link...

http://www.azfamily.com/news/consumer/How-Random-is-the-Lottery-144741935.html

Not saying this could never happen ( I have seen cases where all five white balls match on different tickets)

But if you look at the image from this article -- you see something "weird"

In my opinion it looks like a "cut and paste" job (and not even a good one at that)....

The ticket on the left -- has it's background off centered and the background does not even extend all the way to the border -- missing the border by about a 1/4 of an inch

and that missing piece is does not form a straight line going down.......

I could be wrong -- but I see a poor "cut and paste" job.....

(and no I am not an expert...........)

If it is a fake, then the Arizona lottery should be able to look up the tickets and show that it is fake.

I do not believe for a second that the drawing is rigged at all. If it was drawn by computer, yes, but ball drawings are pretty random.

Looks like the terminal's Quick Pick It So You Can't Win Software had a brain fart and spit out the same fixed numbers.

well theoretically you could put weights inside the ball that make some balls heavier so they wont come up. but yeah i agree with you, its not rigged.

Thanks for posting them........

Everyone see how the ticket on left has "crooked numbers"

Also how the Background Y suddenly stops and a small white space appears between it and the ticket border?

That's about 1 : 2.8 x 10⁸²

There is at best estimates about 10⁸⁰ atoms in the observable Universe.

If you duplicated our Universe a little more than 280 times; you and I just happened to select an atom from them and they just magically happen to be exactly same atom from any of them is about the Odds of it.

The background image on the print paper is in unique postions. Someone has discussed the use of deltas to generated numbers at a terminal in other situations like this but not to this scale. These are like keys you can use to narrow down you combinations. And we no computers don't understand random numbers. They use seed to generate numbers that appear to be randomly chosen. But here, I think it is and outright error with the terminal like when TN switched to a computer drawing for pick 3 or something the computer programing eliminate the draw of duplicates.

So...

So did you catch that sad attempt at a manufactured explanation why the numbers repeated?

We recommend you not let this one go bye.

There's more to this than might think.
