Weird coincedent!

OMAHA, Neb. — The odds are against something this odd.

A Nebraska Lottery official says the winning numbers for the state’s Pick 3 lottery on Tuesday were exactly the same as the winning combination from the night before.

Lottery spokesman Brian Rockey says one of two lottery computers that randomly generate combinations picked the numbers 1, 9 and 6 — in that order — for Monday night’s drawing. He says the other computer picked the same three numbers Tuesday in the same sequence.

The odds of such an occurrence? One in a million.

Rockey says one person won the game’s top prize of $600 Monday but didn’t win again the next night. Three other people won Tuesday’s prize.

That is amazing. Our state just voted on a lottery but it hasn't gone in to effect yet. My husband loves to pick of lottery tickets as he travels through the state that have them. I would just like to win something once. Doesn't even have to be the big prize.

I have never won anything, but then I don't play very often, and you have to play to win :blink: But what fun is it to play when you never win :unsure:

That's sounds like an argument between me and my husband. I get aggravate by all the lottery tickets lying around (he plays powerball and gets several draws on the numbers so I never know when it is OK to through them away plus he is notorious for forgetting to check the numbers, so they can be old and he says no I need to check those), I say why we never win, but he always says......You have to play to win.

We used to play when we were still living in NC and we also won a couple of times. It were only small amounts, I think the highest was $25 or something like that. But I liked to dream about what I would do with the Jackpot. I think it started at 12 million and the highest it went up while we were there was to 283
