@LUNCH - Winning lottery number shown on live TV before drawn─── 13:30 Mon, 03 Aug 2015
The head of Serbia's state lottery resigned and several other employees are under investigation after a winning lottery number was shown on live television before it was drawn.
Aleksandar Vulovic said he was stepping down out of "moral obligation" and denies any wrongdoing after a winning ball, 21, was shown on screen before it was drawn from the machine.
The incident sparked corruption allegations, but lottery officials said it was a "technical mistake." No one won the $1.09 million (€1m) jackpot.
"The draw was completely in accordance with the rules and the company abides by the law," the state lottery said in a written statement.
