lol. Took me a second to notice the 2nd line, but that's pretty funny.

The 2nd row was ALL off by being 1 number too high...
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

A keno player here joked to me that the secret to win at keno is to choose your numbers and then select the ones around them.

Nice link WoN.
I'm surprised that's not my ticket ;-)
They should have given the bloke another 100 tix for the next drawing at least!

The first number in the second row is one too low.

I believe the point was all the numbers were one number off.
If they were all off by one in ONE direction,
That wouldn't have been that much funnier/sadder. ;-)

The NJ lottery has a new bet type on pick 3 and pick 4 games called "Close Enough".

You win something if the drawn numbers are +/- 1 from your selected numbers.

The spoiler said otherwise. Also, being one off in either direction is about 32 AHEM 64 that's better times as likely as all six being off in the same direction. I say "about" because you have to allow for the drawn numbers including 1, the highest possible number, and consecutive numbers. A quick run through the computer, and I get 14334035200 "close calls", or an average of about 49.0553 per possible set of winning numbers.
