No. This is my theory: He guessed one of the balls, and filmed all the possible combinat

ions of the remaining five. He only ever claimed that he would predict five of the numbers. He then, just after switching the TV off on his live show last night, cunningly and almost seamlessly switched to the correct pre-recorded 45 seconds of film to show those five numbers.

This meant that he had chances around 6/49 (it more complicated than simply 6/40, but it'll do) of getting the sixth number by chance on the night.

The odds of getting five numbers, without the bonus ball, on the lottery are 55419/1 (approx). That's fifty five thousand odd combinations. 45 seconds per combination makes (again approx) about 28 days worth of film. You could do that in a year, if you were significantly mental. And significantly remunerated.

^^^ Clearly, because I was able to figure all that out, that is not the way he did it.

But I don't think it'll be that far off.
