How math can reveal lottery fraud

On October 1, 2022, something strange happened in the Philippines: 433 people won the jackpot in the local lottery. For this particular lotto, six numbers ranging in value from 1 to 55 were randomly selected, and the 433 winners all matched. Even more bizarre, when arranged in ascending order, the winning numbers were: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 and 54. In other words, the winning numbers were multiples of 9 (9 1, 9 2, 9 3, etcetera).

And run amok they sure did. One got stuck trying to access a file for which it didn't have root privileges. Another went in and attempted to refactor an entire app (which I did not request).
