Popular magician John Archer performed a stunt last night where Ant and Dec picked out their own lottery numbers.
The Britain’s Got Talent hopeful’s big reveal came when John produced a printed lottery ticket from his wallet which had the numbers printed on it.
However, as the camera zoomed in on the EuroMillions ticket, some in the audience thought there was a mistake, reported The Express.
While one of the selected numbers had been 16, it appeared that only a 6 was on the ticket according to some ITV viewers.

Fans took to Twitter to point out what they thought was an error.
One questioned: “Erm shall we talk about how 16 wasn’t on the ticket? @BGT @antanddec #bgt #BritainsGotTalent #fix.”
While another said: “…That ticket had 1 6 25 26 43 58 the numbers they chose where 1 16 25 26 43 58 dec noticed but went along with it.”
“While I really enjoyed John Archer on #BGT, I noticed something wrong with his lottery ticket. The Euromillions draw doesn’t take place on Sundays, it should read 01 06, not 01 6, and the raffle stopped in November 2018. He is still getting my vote though #bgt2019 @TNLUK #magic,” a fourth shared.
Another added: “Would have been more impressive if the numbers matches, it says 6 on the ticket and 16 on the screen.”
However, some of those watching at home thought it was just the lighting obscuring the number.
One suggested: “I got a sense that something went wrong but you can kind of see a 1 in front of that 6 so it might be a trick of the light.”
“It’s a 16, just the glare of the lighting,” a second wrote.
Overall, viewers were clearly impressed with John’s act as he was placed in the top three of the ITV show..
