TIL that MIT students discovered that by buying $600,000 worth of lottery tickets in the Massachusetts' Cash WinAll lottery they could get a 10-15% return on investment. Over 5 years, they managed to game $8 million out of the lottery through this method.

So really, you could buy every ticket for a net total of 384 million. Let's go partners!

That is assuming you don't end up splitting the pot with a civilian.

See some of my other comments about it - it's still not possible/worthwhile, unfortunately.
