Statistics is a very reliable science and is usually very accurate in its predictions. For this reason, the repetition of seven of the eight numbers that make up the winning combination in Bonoloto, in two draws carried out just 48 hours apart, has led many users to doubt the legality of the results.
Last Thursday, March 9, the winning combination of the Bonoloto was: 8, 21, 23, 40, 43 and 47, with 26 as complementary and 7 as refund. The curious thing is that in the draw on Saturday the 11th, the numbers are almost traced: 8, 21, 23, 28, 40 and 47, also with 26 and 7 as complementary and refund. This last result also had a first category winner in Moncada (Valencia), who won 2,592,535 euros.
Many Bonoloto players and Twitter users have not hesitated to label as “suspicious” that the winning combinations coincide almost 100% in such a short time. Others see it directly as a “fraud”, and even provide mathematical data on the low probability that these results occur.
Others wonder how statistics can be so capricious and ask for an explanation of what happened.
From State Lotteries and Gambling they have assured EL MUNDO that this is nothing more than a coincidence. “The numbers, as a draw ends, all have the same chances of coming out, even if it is an identical combination to that of the previous day,” they comment from the organization.
“The BonoLoto Draws are held from Monday to Sunday at 9:30 p.m. in the State Lottery and Betting Draw Room, they are public, they can be seen live until full capacity is reached and they are also broadcast live on the web of Lotteries”, tell from State Lotteries and Gambling.
They also confirm that each draw is made “before a notary public” appointed by the AGE, in addition to “a president and a member” and that in “each draw a record of the draw is made.”
Coincidence or not, what is clear is that this curiosity has provoked the reaction of many Internet users and the debate about whether or not statistics can explain this coincidence.
