Kansas Lottery Makes Reporting Error In Favor Of Gambling Public

The Kansas Lottery reported that they have made an error in reporting winning Pick 3 numbers from earlier in this past week. They are awarding gamblers that played both the misreported numbers and the correct ones.

On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the Kansas Lottery reported incorrect winning numbers from their Pick 3 game. They claim that the numbers were chosen correctly, but were reported incorrectly to the public.

Amidst complaints from many gambling lottery players, the lottery now says they will honor the winning tickets from both the reported numbers as well as the real winning numbers.

The random generator that is used to pick the numbers by the lottery was functioning correctly, according to the lottery. Somewhere between when the numbers were drawn, and when they were reported an error occurred.

Ed Van Patten, the Executive Director of the Kansas Lottery claims that the problem has now been fixed, and no further problems are expected. The misrepresentation of the winning numbers means that two sets of numbers will be paid for each of the three days.

On Sunday, the real winning numbers were 4-2-3, but the numbers that were reported were 1-6-7. On Monday, 5-1-6 were the real numbers, and 0-0-4 were reported. 8-3-9 were the real numbers on Tuesday, while 0-7-1 were reported.
