Prior to a Mass Cash drawing Thursday, a door on the machine was left open, allowing numerous balls to fall out.
The game, which has drawings twice per day, had to be postponed. It was for the 9 p.m. drawing.
The door that was left open was on the Mass Cash drawing machine’s mixing chamber. The balls fell out prior to the first number being drawn, which made the entire drawing invalid, lottery officials said.
“The Lottery is committed to ensuring the integrity of our games,” said Lottery Director Mark William Bracken. “Drawings are conducted twice a day, 365 days a year and while we strive for perfection, we’re all human and mistakes can happen. We apologize to our players for the inconvenience and appreciated their patience as we worked diligently to resolve the situation.”
Instead, the drawing happened at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
The winning numbers for the Mass Cash drawing on Thursday are 6-15-22-28-30.
