I've read on here before that it seems odd how many times the winner is in California. Two Mega jackpot winners from the same gas station in California?

I've read these lotto tickets are sold in over 40 states. I see people waiting in line to buy these tickets. Two from the same state and same exact gas station bought the same ticket? What are the odds? I am not accusing anyone of doing anything wrong but I would like to hear more on how that happened.

If they were both quick pick it’s because the so-called randomizer is based on the computer click.

RND or rand function in some software tools

Does location and other timing factors come in to play?

🤔🤔🤔

Somebody probably accidentally bought two tickets with the same favorite numbers.

I have double-bought the same numbers before using the slip to fill out. Accidentally.

The lotto machines are likely made be Dominion... The same people who make voting machines. The ‘fix’ is in.

Many people double up (or more) on the same numbers. The idea is that, should numbers win the smaller prizes, winnings are multiplied. For example, second place $1 million prize is not split like the jackpot, every winning ticket gets the full mil.

I don’t really get it, but I see people doing it.

Statistically that seems almost impossible.

I don’t have to win the big prize. Just something in the seven- or eight-digit would be more than enough for me! 🙂 Anything after that is just icing on the icecream! 😄

I’ve noticed the same thing. Over and over the winners are in California or New York.
