Lottery winners win again

[Brutus]

MADISON, Wis. — A woman and her husband, who claims he's developed a formula for lottery picks, have each claimed $350,000 jackpots.
Twice.
Verlyn and Judith Adamson claimed two $350,000 jackpots on Monday because each held a winning ticket in the state SuperCash drawing last Saturday. They didn't mention at the time that they also held two more of the winning tickets.

People use computers without knowing exactly how they do the things they do, such as random number generation. If this were true, would the winners have to return their prize money?

According to the article, they had 4 identical tickets to the same jackpot. They didn't guess right 4 times, they guessed right once.

Since lotteries use air machines with ping pong balls of all same weight to pick numbers, how could you possibly stumble on a random number generator.
