The $50,000 prize won by two Missouri lottery players utilising a set of hand-selected numbers will be shared between them.

The winners, who want to remain unknown, disclosed that they had been using the same numbers for the previous 30 years.

One of the prize winners on Thursday said of the Missouri Lottery, “He’s always played the same numbers. He found it difficult to believe he had won.

The winner said that the numbers were significant to her family. But it’s not obvious whether or how the two winners are connected.

The $50,000 reward was won by the winning ticket, which was bought at a gas station in southwest El Dorado Springs, Missouri; after matching four of the five winning numbers plus the PowerBall number.

During $1.7 million in cash prizes were won by players in Cedar County, where El Dorado Springs is situated; over the course of the previous year, according to the lottery.

Retailers who sold these tickets collected commissions totaling more than $182,000 as a consequence.

In 2007, the guy had already won $250,000 using those numbers.

On draw games, I’ve always used the same set of numbers, the man remarked.

Despite these few events, it has been found that playing the same set of numbers again doesn’t increase one’s chances of winning.

According to Insider, it statistically doesn’t matter if you play the same set of lottery numbers each week; or select a completely different set at every drawing. Given the independence of each drawing; there is no justification for any fixed set of numbers to become more likely with each subsequent drawing.

There is no difference between playing the same numbers in many draws and selecting entirely fresh sets; each week since drawings are independent, according to the paper.

Due to the recent rollover of the Mega Millions jackpot; the lottery has lately been in the news.

The jackpot rose to more than $1 billion when there was no winner; and the next drawing is set for this coming Friday night.

In recent weeks, there have been a series of unusual events involving lottery games all across the world.
