A Serbian lottery draw has become the subject of a criminal investigation after a winning number appeared on screen before it had been drawn.

Viewers of the Serbian State Lottery's live TV broadcast on Tuesday evening were left confused and suspicious after the fourth number in the draw, 27, was displayed on the screen as a 21.

Moments later, the ball number 21 was drawn.

The presenter was visibly uncomfortable as the remainder of the numbers were drawn, and the graphics displaying the numbers were repeatedly turned on and off.

According to Tanjug News Agency, the Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor's Office has now issued a warrant to the police to investigate those involved with the broadcast.

Republic Public Prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac said they were aware the case caused "widespread alarm among citizens" and would deliver results to the public.

The director of the State Lottery of Serbia said it was a coincidental technical mistake and there was "not a single mechanism that could be used to influence the result", b92 News reported.

"Instead of typing in the number 27, he entered 21. At that point, I guess after realising what he did, the man entered the number 27. In other words, the number of the ball that had been drawn.

"Now - it was a coincidence, I say, under some laws of probability, there was the possibility that the ball 21 would be drawn, and it was. If you ask me, there's nothing strange there as far as I'm concerned."

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic promised a full investigation into the incident.

"If there were any elements of a criminal act in the draw of numbers in the lottery late on Tuesday, all responsible individuals will suffer the consequences for this," Mr Vucic said.

Serbia? What about every state in the US? When lotteries are rolled out, state boards promise they are for the “ children.” Well what happens? The money goes into the general fund and the schools get nothing. Where is the accounting of where all the money went? Nowhere! It is just a big lie as the State can never get enough money and it is the rule to ask for more interminably. ONE BIG LIE AFTER ANOTHER.

Looks like the Serbian Lotto got caught by the balls.

I had a issue or 3 with the Florida lottery and gave up that waste of money.So if you are in the Florida Panhandle and get a itch, go buy a tube of preparation H instead.

And I was thinking the spokesmodel's embarassment was when she realised she had forgotten her dress!
What on earth is she wearing? It looks like a 19th century corset!!

All I noticed in this was that she was wearing her underwear on TV.
