I already cracked it. This is how it works. Everything in computerized. You go down to your local store and buy a Lotto card picking your number.

Meanwhile the Lotto officials are up in their headquarters looking/monitoring as the computers calculate what numbers have already been picked.

Then they have a fake non-person pick some number that has not been picked already and bingo!. This non-person wins the Lotto and the officials of the lottery split their ill gotten gains.

More than likely the Government is in on it and gets the major cut.
