- rorrr 14y agoThis article doesn't explain anything, and heavily engages in libel and other name calling.
- yen223 14y agoThat was the first thing that struck me as well. This article didn't even pretend to be objective.
- rincewind 14y agoThis is old news: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/07/31/a_lottery_game_with_a_windfall_for_a_knowing_few/ http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011... Also does "scamming" not involve some kind of lie or misrepresentation? They just bought lottery tickets.
- tomp 14y agoScammed? They played by the rules.
- leephillips 14y agoThe article[1] that the posted links rips off (but links to) has more details and is less inflammatory.

- powerslave12r 14y agoIt just sounds like the reporter is pissed because he couldn't get in on the action. If this is a scam then so is pooling in money with your friends and family to increase the odds of winning.
