Telly Bingo Ticket Oddity

My mum bought these tickets to play telly bingo today. But as you can see they're almost identical. Can anyone explain this? Dunno if I feel cheated or what!

If the numbers are randomly generated then that's a fair overlap. Other than that it might be due to whatever algorithm is being used to generate the numbers. Were they bought one after the other?

It does say in the Telly Bingo Game Rules booklet that Quick pick number selections for any given draw may be duplicated so I suppose they have covered themselves.
