scratchcard like this:

Each week six numbers are chosen by the Scamelot ball-grabber.

Arnie always picks numbers from different rows and different columns. He
considers this lucky. Betty thinks prime numbers are lucky and so chooses a
random six primes every week. Cher always chooses the same four lucky numbers
and then, just for luck, chooses two higher numbers whose sum is equal to the
sum of her regular four numbers.

This week, luckily, Arnie, Betty and Cher all share the jackpot. What numbers
were grabbed?
