Which is probably made even easier if said organized crime group runs the store :D:rolleyes:


I think the article touches of something else too.... The people making the tickets and the games know who their market is. They probably are aware that the games probably can be cracked BUT the type of people who usually play these games consistently don't have the education to figure them out.

As the article stated, most of these people who are excellent at math can make more working honestly then trying to figure out how to beat the lottery.....or they are white collar pricks and are figuring out how to steal millions from customers or companies :mad:

Give him a high-five from all of us!

It would have to be a rush finding sudden, and basically unearned wealth by chance, especially if you basically had none before. I'm glad for the guy, hope he uses it as wisely as one can in his position. :thumbsup:

He should first learn about Jack Whitacre, the WV guy who won a few years ago.

He might want to forfeit the winning ticket after reading Jack's story.

Lottery winners stories usually end poorly. Sudden, unearned wealth is a recipe for disaster, in most all cases.

Yep, most people who play couldn't figure it out. Either way its still a waste of time.

$600 a day, assuming you did it every single day without a break is $219k a year. Not bad but not earth shattering, and their are a lot of other more interesting honest ways to make more.
