Picture a scenario in which you match several early numbers and need just one more to go your way for the big prize. Unfortunately, the final ball is not the number you needed. You might still get a prize, but it's quite a bit smaller than you expected. The Blues needed to match four numbers in the NHL Draft lottery to win the first pick of this year's draft, one expected to be used on 17-year-old Canadian prospect Connor Bedard, considered a generational talent by many NHL scouts.

"They agree with us that there’s nothing that we could have done to prevent this. They’re saying that it’s deemed an act of God because we have to prove that they knew about ...
