N.J. lottery goof

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - January 8, 2008

Lottery officials say the announcer was right and the cameraman goofed, failing to pan to the next number.

Monday afternoon's winning numbers were 3-7-7-5. But the cameraman focused on the third number when he should have panned to the 5.

Independent auditors found the announcer's call was right.

Getting the right numbers in sequence was worth $3,274.50.
