This is old news: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011...

Also does "scamming" not involve some kind of lie or misrepresentation? They just bought lottery tickets.

The article[1] that the posted links rips off (but links to) has more details and is less inflammatory.

Scammed? They played by the rules.

It just sounds like the reporter is pissed because he couldn't get in on the action.

If this is a scam then so is pooling in money with your friends and family to increase the odds of winning.

This article doesn't explain anything, and heavily engages in libel and other name calling.

That was the first thing that struck me as well. This article didn't even pretend to be objective.
