An official of the Bulgarian lottery said manipulation was impossible. A number of scientists and mathematicians have all been quoted as saying the chance of the same six numbers coming up in repeat succession is one in four million. But agreed that coincidences did happen.

Minister of Physical Education and Sport Svilen Neykov said the commission established to investigate would provide answers towards the end of the week.

The lottery organizers described it as a freak coincidence and pointed out that the numbers were drawn in a different order. They have similarly tried to reassure players and the public that the game was completely secure and fair.

The police investigation continues into this incredibly controversial draw with a joint police and government commission due to present its findings by the end of this week.

The public in Bulgaria have responded with a range of shock, curiosity, envy and suspicion to what Bulgarian Lottery Organizers have referred to as an extraordinary coincidence in the country’s national lottery.

For the first time in the history of any lottery, the identical six numbers were drawn in two consecutive rounds. Police have launched an immediate investigation though expert mathematicians that have since been interviewed have concurred saying that there’s no reason to believe that the games were rigged.

Initially the numbers were drawn on 6th September though there were no winners. Though when the identical balls were generated for a second time four days later, 18 different winners had to share the £82,620 jackpot.
