A group attempted this in a state lottery which I saw in a documentary about it a long time ago. There weren't even close to the numbers or potential gain involved in the Powerball and needed a fair bit of luck rather than all the numbers, but still they profited big. Back then I think the problem was that they couldn't print and submit the paper lottery tickets quick enough to get all the numbers, so ended up just chancing it. I guess using the internet these days should make it quicker, but still, in the UK last weekend the online demand for a £50m prize lottery managed to shut down the online site.
