No they didn't. They cheated. When stuff like this happens, the odds tell us unambiguously that they have a hack or are rigging the game. Normal human-level stuff. Not magic lucky guys.

> According to experts at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, the odds of Richard and Faye winning both the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker and then five numbers and the bonus ball on Lotto are over 24-trillion-to-one.

Does anyone know the rules of each event? It looks like they are just multiplying the probabilities, that is correct if they were the only person playing the games, and there were only two games.

If there are 8000000000 persons and like ¿10000? games worldwide, the provability of a lucky coincidence somewhere increase a lot.
