But just like every casino, the house always wins. The more tickets sold, the more money the lottery makes. This is why despite knowing the flaws in the system, it doesn't get fixed, they don't care... in fact, it's in their favor to ignore it because those attempting to exploit the flaw only line the lottery's pockets more. It's more profitable for them to ignore it and hope that as little ruckus as possible draws attention to this corruption.
