Dec-05-11    technical draw: Hey, I won round three pick 3 ...So even if I I have to give back the round two "earnings" I'm still up about 500cbs. (That is, of course if round 3 is not a mistake) Dec-06-11    ycsidney: How on earth did i make nearly 3000 cb on round three pick three with the wrong pick draw black black?

All payouts have been reversed and those who threw away winning tickets will find the tickets back in their possession. All people who profited from the error will find their winnings forcefully removed from their account. In the event that you do not have enough funds to pay back, they will be added to your Loanshark debt.
