Cudos to the devloper for a long thought out hack. 2005 to 2011. I'm not saying, what he did was right, but he sure was patient about it.

  I don't think he was patient about it. The contrary -- from what I gathered he didn't wait till 2011 to take advantage of the hack, instead he took advantage of it every year from 2005 to 2011, 6 times. Which is also why they caught him.

    He won the lottery 6 times, and on similar dates, after working for the lottery? Why did he think he could get away with that? There are so many opportunities for him to cover his tracks and he missed pretty much all of them...

      Too confident in his own smarts and the idiocy of others... It could be dumbness, but it's also a common trait in high IQ people -- I've read stories and know personally lot of them who end up badly, similarly or otherwise...

        much more an actuaire saying, hey! too much winners, your insurance willl not cover your exceptionnal loss. Where is the 50% fat margin? And then they tried to figure out if cheating was involved. Still, randomness being random, one day should happen that there are too much winers some years. Else, maybe the cheaters are on the other side of the game.

      He used patsies to claim the winning tickets; that's why he got away with it for so many years.
