Rainbow Lotto

Pink Balls I hear you say? But all the National Lottery balls are different colours aren’t they? Well not in one draw that took place in October 2008 for it was the first time in the history of the lottery that all the balls drawn were the same colour.

The odds of it happening are almost as great as winning the lottery itself and players watched on in amazement as one pink ball after another came shooting out of the Lottery machine. One pink ball then a second and a third, then a fourth, fifth and sixth pink ball all in one lottery draw from the same machine.
The UK National Lotto has been running since 1994 and with two draws every week that’s a lot of lottery balls, yet never in the history of the game have all the balls been the same colour.

The pink lottery balls only represent numbers in their 20’s and the six pink balls drawn on the night were 23-21-27-28-20-24. The first time this has ever happened in the history of the UK National Lottery. It’s unlikely to happen for a long while again and unsurprisingly the Lottery jackpot for that night rolled over to the next draw.

So if you were watching the draw on 11th October 2008, you weren’t hallucinating, the balls really were all pink. All six of them!
