Man Wins Lottery 47 Times Using Secret Technique: Buying Every Possible Number

In what economists are calling 'technically winning but essentially losing,' local mathematician Barry Numbers has won the lottery 47 times using a technique he calls 'aggressive participation.' Barry realized that if he bought every possible number combination, he would guarantee at least one winning ticket. The technique worked perfectly, and Barry won the lottery 47 times over 5 years. However, the total cost of purchasing all those tickets came to $50 million, while his winnings totaled only $23 million. Barry said, 'I'm very good at math, and this proves it. I also very bad at math, and this proves that too.' He has since been banned from purchasing lottery tickets in 12 countries and has been invited to speak at financial planning conferences about 'how to turn money into less money but with more excitement.'
