In my example of two worlds, the odds of observing the observed evidence is the same in both worlds and so there is no update.
What set of worlds are you postulating for your "two numbers" example? Because your example, as far as I understand it, doesn't seem at all analogous.
The point is that if the lottery is biased it's more likely to be biased in such a way that the same number repeats.
