A major oversight on the part of the Oklahoma Lottery Commission ended up printing a number that goes directly to an X rated adult phone service; the number was also included on the lottery website just to be thorough.
Lottery customer Ladonna Dobbs told News9, "I thought I dialed the wrong number … so I got my glasses and I dialed again, and it was an adult phone line".
Catering to lonely adults, the toll free number seen on the Oklahoma Lottery's website, allows callers to listen to messages from complete strangers before starting their fantasies.
"It was a toll free number that's no longer owned by us," said Oklahoma Lottery director Rollo Redburn.
Redburn says, in June of 2010, the commission discontinued the number to save money. But, by mistake, those old digits were left up on the website and recently distributed.
"They must have had an old roll of paper stock that didn't get picked up," Redburn said.
Old paper with an old number was used to create new tickets, according to officials.
"It's not what people want to call," Dobbs said.
