Abstract
- The article examines an incident in Bulgaria in which a 1-in-5.2 million shot came through as the same six winning numbers turned up in two consecutive drawings. The incident supports the possibility that despite sheer lottery numbers, the uncanny happens. Information is also presented on the disagreement caused by the probability in the country's repeated winning numbers.
