Playing the lottery.... hard.

Post by GORDON »

A while back someone bought 29 million $1 Texas lottery tickets to play every combination and win a $95 million lottery jackpot.

It has become a scandal, some people say it was cheating.

The head of the TX lottery just resigned.

I'm curious to see how they decide playing by the rules is cheating.

Yeah, the rules were followed, it seems fine to me. I get why people are upset, but hey, shoulda thought of it first.
It's not me, it's someone else.

I might take some of my $20mil profit and see about suing someone for slander for calling me a thief.

Guy was smarter than the system. Good for them.

Same way I felt about the guy who figured out the pattern on Press Your Luck.
