The numbers from Saturday's lottery draw -- 36, 33, 32, 26, 14, 13 -- matched the numbers from a Sept. 21 lottery pull with the numbers reversed, Ynetnews.com reported Monday.

The lottery organization said 3 people picked all seven winning numbers plus the "string number" of 2 Saturday, earning $1,116,694 each. Miphal HaPayis said 92 others got six of the numbers correct, earning $1,116 to $1,831 each. Zvi Gilula, a professor of statistics at Hebrew University, said the probability of the same number set occurring in the lottery only a few weeks apart is approximately one in 4 trillion.
