Re: Don't win the jackpot...
In most lotteries, the most one can claim without an ID is only a few hundred dollars (in Virginia, for example, it's $600, when a $1 Pick 3 Exact hit is $500). Beyond that, you have to go to the regional offices that mean all the paperwork and so on. Plus at $5,000 the feds get involved because gambling winnings are considered an income that requires withholding at those levels.
What I want to know is how he was able to game the game when most lotteries use mechanical randomizers which typically are inspected before each drawing.
