Topic	Error causes man to mistakenly believe he won $340m in the lottery.
ClayGuida 02/21/24 6:11:43 PM #47:	CSCA33 posted... The lottery draws the numbers, and the lottery said his numbers were the winning numbers. Were those the numbers on the balls that dropped? No, but that's not what the lottery said for three days because the third party company they hired accidentally published test numbers. ffs that's not what happened. They drew numbers, they had a coding error that listed numbers that did not win accidentally. They didn't change the numbers. They listed a bunch of random numbers that happened to give this man the idea that he had won, despite them not being the actual numbers. In a court filing, a Taoti employee said that on 6 January 2023 - the day Mr Cheeks bought his ticket - a quality assurance team was running tests on the website. On that day, a set of test Powerball numbers, which matched Mr Cheeks' numbers - was posted on the website "accidentally", according to court documents. Those numbers remained online for three days, until 9 January. The numbers online did not match the numbers that were drawn at the last lottery draw, according to the Taoti employee. They didn't just randomly change the numbers because this guy won. You're arguing in favor of there simply being two sets of winning numbers because the random numbers they threw up matched this guys. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:978968492] in Error caus...
