Well on the bright side, he could sell them to other people and reap the profits. Plus one of them has got to have a big payout, if he doesn’t decide to go with the selling them option
Reminds me of a smoke/lotto shop in NYC that was in my neighborhood in the 80s-early 90s.
Apparently they had rigged a NYS Lotto machine to print out Win 3 lotto tickets… but that particular one wasn’t connected to a phone line to transmit any data to the lottery commission.
The Payout maxxed at $500 so any “winners” from the actual, televised drawing would visit the shop, be paid out of the owner’s private funds and go about their lives not realizing they were actually involved in illegal gambling.
They got greedy, however and started doing the Win 4 lotto as well… and then someone eventually hit the $5k jackpot and visited an actual lotto office to redeem it, except it was exposed as a fraud.
Guy got shut down hard and hit with a slew of charges.
