You Gotta Be In It (And Have Advanced Gambling Knowledge) To Win It

This couple figured out something about the Massachusetts "Cash WinFall" lottery, and went in with a mission: They bought a combined $614,000 worth of tickets and ended up raking in over a million dollars in profits. No, they're not just any elderly couple, they run a gambling strategy company. And they had determined that as the jackpot kept rolling over, the payoffs for smaller prizes goes way up. They weren't the only ones noticing this; some computer scientists were playing the same odds, and carting home a lot of winners. What's the lottery doing to stop the windfall? Nothing. Bottom line: This lottery game is really not a game of chance, it's a game of skill for expert gamblers, and they're draining cash out of the lottery system. (Boston Globe)
