@@davidquinn9676 That's not how state lotteries work. Someone could win every single time and the state still makes money. A specific amount, generally 25%, but can vary by state, of all sales goes to the state. That money is *_not_* counted as part of the lottery "winnings." Even when someone wins, about 40% of it will be taxed, with a large portion going back to the state. (Yes, the government double dips on taking taxes.) What you seem to be thinking of are casinos, but you're still incorrect. Casinos play the long game. Slot machines always favor the house, even those that promote 96% winnings/payback, because that means 4% is _always_ going to the house/casino. And the 96% are the rare, high-end (usually they are in the 80% range). At casinos, all games favor the house, with the exception of Blackjack. And that's where people who can count cards and know the statistics succeed. (Both of which are legal to do.)

This is a great story. This man did nothing wrong or illegal. He’s smart at math and figured out the odds. This is the same reason, similar people are banned from Vegas casinos (private businesses). Those good at math aren’t allowed to play there because they would lose money. All the, “State lottery” could do is, shut down, “this” version of lottery game. When the casinos win, OR the State wins, it’s ALL oKay…. BUT, when a person who is good at math and “plays the odds” it’s suddenly , NOT ALL OKAY…..Sad. But true.

If you want to be on a High Vibration and on the SAME frequency as Jerry & Marge; watch this movie and then go play any Lottery Game just for fun at your Lottery Store in your town. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I LOVE THIS MOVE! I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I wish the movie had been longer. God Bless the City and State of Evert Michigan. I celebrate all the people that were apart of GSIS investments. Thank You Jerry & Marge for making a MOVIE so the people like myself that is a Lottery Player can see what it feels like, when you are playing for fun and HELPING others.

I loved this story especially how generous they were in sharing their knowledge. A lot of people won in this including the state, so I wish they didn’t stop the game. Jerry was very observant and methodical by reading the rules of the game, understanding the odds of winning after the roll down and applying his basic math skills to determine his rate of return. While many say he was a genius, he is very humble besides generous in sharing saying it was applying basic math skills. He certainly was smart enough to figure out the so called loop hole and be able to apply his math skills in his head. While I understand the explanation of the roll down and could follow thee math presented I wish there was better explanation on the odds of winning calculations he did both from initial odds of winning five, then four then three numbers and how he was able to break down the returns so quick. For me it would have been helpful to have more visual breakdown of all the math that Jerry was able to do in his head. I like being able to follow it better and yet I think it is remarkable how he was able to quickly put it all together in his head and seize the opportunity he discovered. I love this story and this couple as well as how they handled themselves and helped their family and town, etc. Great story we need more stories like this Good honest.

State of California never had a "Roll down" Lotto. After this man explained what he did one can see why lotteries don't do this anymore. I have a mathematics degree and the ONLY lottery system I ever had was solving the algorithm placement of winning scratcher tickets when the lottery first came out in 1985. I would buy up 500 to 1000 scratchers then scratch off the areas where the winners were located then return the unscratched tickets to the store where I purchased them for a refund. Back then one could return unscratched tickets; can't now. Then I would redeem the winners at another store. It worked until the tickets were sold with the legal condition that once sold, gone for good from the store, whether one scratches them or not.

The really smart part was how well they kept it all documented.

@@mitchyoung93 Not so much beaten, just cracked to loosen the pools wall to leak a little. The state still "won" 120 million in profit, then taxed the winnings of 26 million enough that this couple only "won" after taxes 8 million... So it's not really incompetence, a couple someones figured out the numerical loophole and got just rewards

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to build generational wealth and cultivate financial knowledge, you must be in the market......

The dumb part is the lottery commission "didn't know" how easy it was to win. They accused the winners of being the problem.

Eventually they noticed after years of this. But they will probably make a new mistake, apparently they're all very dumb in the government, and they pay no penalty for it. I didn't hear of anyone getting fired.

Congratulations. They deserve joy and respect. Great American story.

I used to buy lottery tickets for my Aunt, I've seen people literally play hundreds of dollars in lottery numbers. And not just once in a while this happened almost every time I went.

Mr. Jerry was a blessing to so many. Thank God for him.

Came here from the movie 👏👏👏 absolutely standing story im so inspired and happy to learn about them two.God bless them ,beautiful life

What an awesome story! My brain just can't comprehend any math that's more complicated than balancing my checkbook, so this story really impressed me. I wish I knew someone who could figure out a lottery loophole like that, cuz I'd definitely buy tickets!

Fantastic story. Truly a blessing for all of them.

Very genuine couple, to bring in all friends and family in.

They did Nothing Wrong !! As a matter of fact the older couple was driving almost 1000 miles and then in a cheep motel room they sat for 10 per day going through the tickets. Good for them ✌🏼👍🏼😎

God bless the old folks! 🇺🇲 May peace of mind and warmth of human heart fill their lives forevermore. Thanks to 60Minutes for a piece of enriching journalism.

Maybe the state of Michigan assumed no one was smart enough to use math to figure out something like this.
