ABSTRACT
H ow to get rich playing the lottery? Faithfully filling in alottery ticket each week is a futile undertaking. The oddsof winning a jackpot in the 6/49 Lotto with a single ticket are inconceivably small. To get an idea of just how small the odds are, consider that the odds of matching the six numbers drawn are
the same as those for getting a specially marked 1 euro coin when picking one coin at random out of a twenty-and-one-quarter milehigh stack of 1 euro coins, all having a thickness of 2.33 mm. All the same, as the amazing stories below prove, people will always seek, find or create loopholes to help them beat the odds of winning the lottery.
