Buying The Haystack To Own The Needle
-
A guy decided on a hunch to go to every store in Western North Carolina and buy every $20 Mega Cash scratcher lottery ticket until he won. He hit 40 stores... and he won $5 million ($3 million lump sum, $2.1 million after taxes). They don't say how much he spent on the tickets, but it worked out to $2.1 million cleared for 4 hours of work, which is not bad. But the chances that it would pay off were so remote that it was only a good idea in retrospect. (CNN)
