When you are checking the 649 results, it is best to check with an official source such as the lottery’s official website or their automated phone line. This is because in the event of any disagreement between any printed or announced numbers and the official winning numbers, the official winning numbers are always going to be deemed the correct ones. There are a lot of different sources that we can get our winning numbers from. A wide variety of websites, the local newspapers, and the evening news are just a few we could name. Although this probably happens very rarely, if ever, imagine if you thought you had the winning numbers only to find out that there had been some kind of mistake, or typo. That would be devastating to anyone.

It doesn’t seem likely that there would be a mistake like this with the 649 results, but you have to keep in mind that simple human error can take place anywhere, at anytime. A simple typo by one digit in a newspaper would mean the difference of millions of dollars. Or at least, millions of dollars that you thought you had that you really didn’t. Again, we know that’s not very likely, but why else would the papers always have the tiny clause stating that in the event of any discrepancy the official numbers are the correct ones?

When checking the 649 results on the web you should be especially careful. Many websites that display lottery winning numbers are regulated nowhere near as closely as a newspaper, and could be much more likely to make some kind of a typo. When checking your lottery tickets to see if you’re a winner, it’s best to just stick to the official methods. That way, you know that the numbers you see are the correct ones.
