This reminded of a famous fraud in the Mexican Lottery. It was low-tech, basically the company that transmits the draw managed to record it minutes before, tell insiders the numbers and later transmit the video as if it was real-time. $12 million USD were stolen, only $8 million were recovered.
The lotteries here (besides the statistical argument) are not trustworthy. I urge people who buy tickets to save their money, but the dream of getting rich instantly is too alluring.
