Abstract
The sets of five numbers picked in the North Carolina Cash-5 Lottery game were identical on July 9th and 11th, 2007. This coincidence was the topic of a local television station news story on July 12 in which I played a minor role. This article documents the coincidence, my interactions with the television reporter seeking to understand how likely, or unlikely, the coincidence was, and some afterthoughts, including an analysis of the likelihood of matching sets of numbers.
