Was it necessary to change the title? It seems from the article that the lottery has been "broken" for quite a while and the organisers are well aware of it. Instead of reacting as I might expect them to do, they instead appear to encourage it, leaving the rules open to this gaming, even though it seems to be driving away some customers. That seems like the real story to me.
Pretty crazy that this is allowed. It sounds like the odds are too tough normally, and then a few days a year everyone who got screwed all year long lose their money to pro gamblers.
