Has anyone noticed how and why the mega millions ball number 26 keeps recurring?

Question

The number 26 ball has surface for two consecutive weeks in the mega millions lottery game. Now it's showing up in the powerball game. What's up with that? Is this a fluke, or is it fixed? Can anyone explain this?.... well can you... huh?

Answer 1

Care to bet on it?

Answer 2

its just chance, thats all. the chances of 26 coming up again aren't that great!

Answer 3

of course its rigged. i mean who is going to guess 26 ... 3 times for the powerball :D

the figure the powerball is 26 the last time so ill pick like 15. but no, its 26 again.  So everyone is like the same number twice, WTF???  So there like there is no way its going to be 26 three times.  But nope, 26 three times!!!!

there tired of people getting all these 2 dollar refunds

And if im right... im guessing the next powerball will be 13... go ahead and pick it for 2 dollars back :)

Answer 4

OMG!! sooo true but only for the past 3 draws it was 41, 9, and 29 before that and FYI it IS just a fluke there is NO WAY to cheat the Lottery system...

Answer 5

Each draw is an event. Each event is independent.The fact that it has come twice is just pure coincidence.

Answer 6

Probability? Variance? Standard deviation? No, not ringing a bell? Even high school mathematics should answer this question.
