Pennsylvania lottery drawing declared foul

The first numbered ball in the combination, 5, and the second ball, 9, were successfully drawn. The third numbered ball was drawn into the selection chamber but fell back into the mixing chamber when a drawing official prematurely closed the drawing chamber before the ball was fully in position. At that point, a foul was called and the official moved on to successfully complete the BIG 4 and CASH 5 drawings.

After careful review of the drawing tape by Lottery officials, the volunteer senior witness, and a Certified Public Accountant, along with TV studio personnel, it was determined that the third numbered ball drawn was a 7.

The Pennsylvania Lottery will honor all Daily Number tickets for the nighttime May 23 drawing for 5-9-7 and all boxed combinations of 5-9-7.

The Lottery regrets any inconvenience caused by the fouled drawing.
