Many lotteries make it hard to buy that many tickets. They may say tickets filled out by machines are invalid. Some limit how many tickets a retailer can sell in a day (for example if you know your busiest kiosk sells 2,000 tickets a day, flags are raised if someone starts selling 20,000 tickets per day). I guess it's not fun for the regular players (who are the bread and butter of the lotteries) if a syndicate swoops in and takes the massive jackpots when the odds are in their favour. http://www.forbes.com/sites/joshbarro/2012/03/30/can-you-ever-guarantee-a-mega-millions-win/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/joshbarro/2012/03/30/can-you-eve... mentions Virginia put limits in place after a syndicate won a jackpot after buying almost all the tickets.
