I scrolled down to the video and found this interesting tidbit...

"In an investigation into state lotteries, Dateline NBC looked at a list of the most frequent winners in eight states. In almost every case, lottery retailers — or their relatives — were among the top winners. Why?"

Well that is interesting. Did it say anything about investigating the parties?? Sounds criminal to me but who knows.

Amazing.

It could only be because they’re taking the tickets from the poor old uneducated people who buy them, and then bring them back in like this old man to have them scanned for them and instead got scammed themselves instead.

Statistically, what else could it possibly be?

Do you think they’re going to do anything about it?

Or do you think they’re going to continue justice they have so far, letting the scammy owners in their scuzzy convenience stores rip off the poor people and cheat the poor people?

Well, one explanation would be that they are the most likely to buy lottery tickets, since they have easy access and are trained to tell people how great they are to purchase.

Then there is the more obvious explanation that they are cheating — but lotteries are run by the state, and the state wouldn’t want ordinary folks to get away with cheating them out of their money.
