Completion of the big game
In the same year, The Boston Globe talked about a loophole in WinFall and about bookmaker syndicates, profited from it. In summer 2011 years Gregory Sullivan, Inspector General of Massachusetts, made a detailed report on this issue. Sullivan noted, that the actions of the MIT group and others were completely legal, and he came to the conclusion, that "the odds of a winning bet did not affect high volume bets". Nonetheless, it was clear, that only a few players, only those, who could play big, made money on WinFall. To avoid a repetition of such cases, the organizers limited the amount of ticket purchases per person to the amount $ 5 000, and soon the WinFall lottery was completely closed
Despite, what lottery officials denied, about that, what do they know about the influence of the syndicates on the lottery, Sullivan concluded, what did they know about the situation back in 2005, and even allowed the installation of additional terminals in special stores, used by students. In this case, the organizers were in an obvious plus - out of every $ 2 went to the prize fund $ 1,20 (60%), and the more money was in the game, the more the earnings of the lottery itself became.
Steve Grossman, state treasurer, said - "I feel, what is important to make a public apology, because the game was created, which allowed syndicates to gain special opportunities, which others did not have. We regret, that some got an unfair advantage ". MIT Group for 7 years of work, I bought lottery tickets for 17-18 million dollars
The group's profit was not disclosed, considered, that it was at least 3,5 million dollars

Multimillion-dollar turnover did not change the lifestyle of the founder of the group. When James Harvey first started his game, he drove a Chevrolet Corsica 1995 of the year, bought at auction for 500 dollars. As MIT became successful he switched to Nissan Altima 1999 of the year

MIT Group, perhaps, one of the most successful syndicates in history, if you measure it not activity not only by the total amount, and also the duration and effectiveness of the game.
But they weren't the only students. In the same lottery, the Selby family syndicate played on an equally large scale - the total winnings of which for 9 years was more than 27 million dollars. Head of family, recently sold the rights to film his story and, perhaps, a great movie is coming soon. Dynamic, with a famously twisted plot, unexpected turns, the rivalry of the largest syndicates and big money. So, how it was in life.
As for the records of MIT students and the Selby syndicate, then their indicators are unlikely to be beaten by anyone. After all, this also requires a lottery with a special condition - regular distribution runs.. And there are almost no such lotteries now.
P. s. IN 2015 the average American spent on lottery tickets $ 206 annually. This amount varies from state to state, somewhere they buy very few, for example in North Dakota - $ 34,09 annually. And somewhere this indicator is many times higher than the average.. Massachusetts among the leaders, its residents spend annually on lottery tickets $ 734,85. Maybe some big game is still going on there, about which we do not know yet?
Before and after winning
The Klintsevich Syndicate is one of the most striking examples of the big game. They succeeded, but did not achieve the expected. The situation was saved only by the winnings of other categories: including payments for 4 and 5 numbers the total amount got to the group was 166 000 pounds, which gave a very modest profit - 310 000 pounds
The Irish National Lottery changed the game after this incident, to replace the format 6/36 came 6/39 in which the chance of winning the jackpot has increased to 3 262 623 to 1. Subsequently, the numerical formula was still changing, for other reasons, now it 6/45 and a chance to win, respectively, 1 to 8 145 060
Before history 1992 of the year Stefan has already had success once - together with Paddy Mulligan, crazy gambler and owner of the Scruffy Murphy bar, he collected a syndicate of 10 the man in the pub and, using your system, took the main prize in April in the amount of 2 439 760 pounds to 1990 year.
Paddy Malligan, bar owner Scruffy Murpy
It was the biggest lottery win in Europe at the time., and 10 its participants were collected by the National Lotteries for dinner, and also went to London, where appeared on the Derek Jameson Show. Not all owners of the same syndicate continued to play, one win was enough for someone. As for Stefan Klintsevich, then he, seem to be, considered, that like lightning can strike twice in the same place, so a person can win repeatedly. Especially if you bet big. Alas, for some reason, many winners think so, and after their only big luck, they eventually spend all their money on the game
Stefan Klincevic, currently lives in Dublin, and still trying to win a big prize, now he leads a syndicate in Megalotto.
The Klintsevich Syndicate is not the only example of a big game. Even more incredible stories can be remembered: Selby family, MIT Students and Dr. Zhang's Group, earning money on the Cash WinFall lottery for many years. Or Stefan Medel, whose syndicates have repeatedly won the grand prize.
Plan "Pyramid"
The Pyramid Plan is a method of assigning numbers to letters to obtain a set of numbers, corresponding name, place name or word. Use the table below, to convert your name, the place or even the name of your favorite band in the lucky numbers.
Pair of numbers can be used, to get big numbers. If you, for example lived on Dean Street (Dean Street), would you pick numbers 4, 5, 1, 5, 3, 4, 9, 5, 5 and 4. You can combine numbers, to get numbers 45, 15, 34, 95 and 54, but since the last two numbers are out of range, you can try to add the numbers that make them up, to get the final EuroMillions sequence from the main numbers: 45, 15, 34, 14 and 9.
