I checked the numbers for the past year and there were no other 6 number hits. Maybe someone has access to further back numbers

This was a 6/50 game but there was a guy that did it on an Illinois Lucky Lotto which is a 5/45 game.

Perhaps the vacation to the Bahamas that the winner is planning for her family will help cement the idea. She's also planning on purchasing new cars and investing a portion of the prize in her daughter's education, the Lottery said.

Is that like when an lp member claims they almost won a jp and have one number on 4 different rows
