Back in the day, a group of MIT students figured out how to game the Massachusetts Lottery and walked away with $8 million.

Yeah, you read that right. Apparently, they realized that certain scratch-off tickets had better odds after a specific number of prizes were claimed. So, they went all-in, buying up tickets in bulk and cashing in big time.

It’s one of those “so crazy it just might work” plans that actually did work. Makes you wonder how many other loopholes are out there just waiting to be found, huh?

Anyway, thought this was too cool not to share. What do you all think—genius or just plain lucky? Let’s discuss below!
