I don't know why they call this a scam. They were just smarter than the lottery folks, no scam there.

Looks like they pooled alot of money together..

It's not any different that what we're doing here: pooling our game together to land some fail-safe trim. You don't see us getting attention in Time Magazine:

Group of True Players Cobble Together the Tightest Possible Game
Their game is tighter that a pair of yoga pants on a DC-4 (the girl, not the plane)

ATHLONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Using your intelligence to win a mathematical game is not a scam.

No more than using your footballing skills to win a game of football is a scam.

Whenever the jackpot went above two million, they paid out to people with less than all six numbers correct. The MIT kids just bought a lot of tickets at those times.

They do it for the same reason the casinos call card counting a scam: because someone outsmarted a system that is rigged heavily against them.
