Pennsylvania Lottery redraws Match 6 numbers

MIDDLETOWN, Pennsylvania – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Pennsylvania Lottery officials conducted a second MATCH 6 lotto drawing Tuesday evening after they discovered that the number "36" ball was broken during the live 6:59 p.m. official drawing.

The first set of MATCH 6 lotto winning numbers is 13-18-27-29-32-33; the second set of winning numbers is 04-11-12-19-21-27. The Lottery will pay winning tickets for both the first and the second set of MATCH 6 lotto numbers drawn on May 1 for all prize tiers.

The broken "36" ball was detected during the routine post drawings. After careful review of the drawing tapes by Lottery drawing officials, the volunteer senior witness, and the independent Certified Public Accountant, along with studio personnel, it was determined that the number "36" ball was broken when the live MATCH 6 lotto drawing took place.

The Lottery regrets any inconvenience resulting from this incident. During the live Lottery drawing on March 24, 2002, a similar incident occurred during the CASH 5 drawing when one of the balls cracked.
