I live in Connecticut & play all the lotteries there. I also play lotteries in 2 other states, New York State and Pennsylvania, when me & my wife go there to visit her relatives in those areas. NYS has a game called the "Take 5" wherein you pick 5 numbers out of a field of 39. The top prize is generally around $40.000. There are 2 drawings a day, afternoon & evening. On 10/27/2022, the exact same numbers drawn during the afternoon were drawn in the evening!!!!! At first, I thought that it was a typo, and I checked other sites that show the drawing, and they had the same results!!!! That goes against odds of more than 500,000 to 1!!!! See that at nylottery.ny.gov/draw-game/?game=take5

I only buy a lottery ticket maybe once a year, because then I have not wasted a lot of money that I should not spend.  I am tempted to get a Powerball ticket today though when I go to the grocery store.  The Powerball is expected to be worth $800 million when they have the drawing tomorrow night.
