LOTTERY CONDUCTS SECOND MATCH 6 DRAWING AFTER BROKEN BALL DISCOVERED
DURING OFFICIAL DRAWING

Broken Number “36″ Ball Gives Players Second Chance To Win

MIDDLETOWN - Pennsylvania Lottery officials conducted a second MATCH 6
lotto drawing Tuesday evening after they discovered that the number “36″
ball was broken during the live 6:59 p.m. official drawing.

The first set of MATCH 6 lotto winning numbers is 13-18-27-29-32-33;
the second set of winning numbers is 04-11-12-19-21-27. The Lottery will
pay winning tickets for both the first and the second set of MATCH 6 lotto
numbers drawn on May 1 for all prize tiers.

The broken “36″ ball was detected during the routine post drawings.
After careful review of the drawing tapes by Lottery drawing officials, the
volunteer senior witness, and the independent Certified Public Accountant,
along with studio personnel, it was determined that the number “36″ ball was
broken when the live MATCH 6 lotto drawing took place.

The Lottery regrets any inconvenience resulting from this incident.
During the live Lottery drawing on March 24, 2002, a similar incident
occurred during the CASH 5 drawing when one of the balls cracked.

How to play MATCH 6 lotto: Players receive three plays for $2.
Players select six numbers from 1 to 49, or they may elect the quick-pick,
computer-selection method for the first line of play. The PA Lottery
quick-picks an additional two sets of six numbers from one to 49, for each
play. This gives each player three lines of six numbers each, for a total
of 18 numbers. MATCH 6 players can match winning numbers on one line or a
combination of lines any of 11 different ways to win cash prizes. To win
the jackpot - which starts at $500,000 and grows until it is hit - players
must match all six numbers drawn in a single, horizontal line of play. Odds
of winning the jackpot prize are 1-in- 4,661,272.3; overall odds of winning
any prize are 1-in-5.9. Live, televised MATCH 6 drawings are conducted
every Tuesday and Friday at 7 p.m., along with The Daily Number, BIG 4, and
CASH 5.
