Have the lottery numbers ever been identical to a previous draw/s?

Question

Have the lottery numbers ever been identical to a previous draw/s?

Answer 1

I'm not aware of it happening with the UK Lottery, but with odds of 14,000,000 to 1 for a 6 ball combination, it's hardly surprising.

Answer 2

In china a set of numbers came out in their lottery and nobody won, a week later the same numbers came out again

Answer 3

Probably not.

The lottery is a very rare gambling-type game. It'd have a very slim chance for numbers to get called twice.

Answer 4

No I do not think that has happened

Answer 5

Picking the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6 has as much chance of winning the lottery as any random numbers. That puts it into perspective how hard the lottery is to win.

Answer 6

not that i know of but probably not as the odds of that happening  

is the odds of you winning it.

p.s they probably would tell you and show it off for ages.

Answer 7

not back to back, and IM unsure if ever on the lottery. however, I have seen the daily 3 number come out  in the midday and then the evening draw.

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

What do you think?

And the answers you think is the right on and thats no.

Also if you want to win it and do about 50 line on by your self or with a syndicate the pick 5 numbers and put each of the 44 numbers with that 5 numbers.

so say you have 12, 15 , 23, 26, 44,

you do this 12, 15 , 23, 26, 44, 1

12, 15 , 23, 26, 44, 2

12, 15 , 23, 26, 44, 3

12, 15 , 23, 26, 44, 4

12, 15 , 23, 26, 44, 5

12, 15 , 23, 26, 44, 6

and so on

so if your 5 balls come up you are gauranteed to win also you will have 5 and the bonus

also alot of tickets with 5 on its own

also 4 on its own

every ticket is a winner.

and your odds of winning are slashed by over half.

Answer 10

Not as far as I know, but surely the odds of the same numbers being drawn for a second week is the same as the odds of any other specified sequence of numbers happening. It's about 14 million to one isn't it?

Answer 11

You will never believe it, I just was thinking of the exact same question.

The answer depends on the lotto type...

eg.) pick 3, pick 4 etc...

surely pick 3 and pick 4 have had the same numbers,

However, the JACKPOT lottery has anywhere between number 1 - 65 depending on the state.  or country.

which makes it hard to say being that said, you do have a better chance of being hit by a metor then the same numbers coming up 2 times
