A "(Hint: You can't)" would have saved me, and everyone else who knows how to calculate probability, 5 minutes of reading in the hopes of finding an actual hack that was unexpected.
I read something once where someone (I think some business) made every effort to buy all lottery tickets for a particular payout once the payout amount went high enough to make that a viable (profitable) option. It turned out they actually failed to get every single ticket for some reason, but I think they did get the winning ticket.
