>>14387763inaccurate. Cities and States have, at all times, implemented new lottos. These new lottos are frequently exploitable. Obviously, once the idiots in charge realize their math was shit under certain conditions (eg buying right before or after a jackpot, buying only on saturdays, buying only with a specific discount, buying or not buying the extra number(s)) because the state is losing money, they get rid of the new lotto and make another, possibly even more exploitable new lotto.
If a lottery is older than a few years, it's likely air-tight and guaranteed loss in the long and short term. For a brand new lotto, ANYTHING can happen.
haha oopsies turns out we created a lottery that pays out on average 20% more than what anyone puts into it. this has actually happened.
