Numbers Game: A Load of Balls Derren Brown

Numbers Game: A Load of Balls Derren Brown

It is being claimed that Derren Brown correctly predicts National Lottery numbers



I am not so interested in how anybody displays the numbers on Ch4 after they have first been announced on the BBC.

However, I have watched the National Lottery draw live before. The numbers are announced as they drop one by one out of the drum. Then they are announced a second time in numerical order. A prediction requires a prior and not a post announcement. It has been said that there is a 14 million to one chance of winning the lottery, I wonder what the odds are of predicting them in numerical order? Perhaps Derren Brown might like to enlighten us how it is that his balls are in order? Cough!
