    He got too greedy.
    Had he been able to get into a situation where he could have ensured he knew the winning results to something like the Pick 3, he could have bought himself a fuckton of $500 winning tickets, each of which could have been cashed around town and none of which would have been subject to any type of reporting.

    • @medexamtoolsdotcom
      @medexamtoolsdotcom 2 роки тому

      No that wouldn't work either, they would quickly discover that WAY more than 1 in 1000 of the pick 3 tickets being sold was winning. He would in fact have been caught almost immediately if he had done that. Though it depends on what you mean by "fuckton". If you mean buying 1 per week, 52 per year, that would probably go undetected. But if he bought 50 per week, they would suddenly notice way more than 1 ticket in 1000 that was sold was winning the supposedly 1 in 1000 gamble and then put the places he bought them under surveillance and then arrest him when he tried to buy 50 tickets the next drawing.

    • @medexamtoolsdotcom
      @medexamtoolsdotcom 2 роки тому +1

      In fact they might even detect him for buying 52 per year, if he bought them all in the same location, because that one location would be selling way more than 1 winner per 1000 tickets sold, though then it would be hard for them to find him because they wouldn't know WHO at that location was winning and they couldn't just wait to ambush a person suspiciously buying 50 tickets at once all with the same numbers.

  • @valmiro4164

    • @medexamtoolsdotcom
      @medexamtoolsdotcom 2 роки тому +2

      The lottery commission wants the option to use the winners as marketing puppets. To put out advertisements like "Bob Lutz of 127 Wintergreen Drive won the lottery. If YOU spend all YOUR money on lottery tickets, YOU can be a winner just like Bob Lutz!" This is yet another why you shouldn't buy lottery tickets. It's a lose-lose proposition.
