[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3332366, member: 24633"][USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] There was an interesting story on "60 Minutes" last night about a retired Michigan couple who discovered a simple math error that allowed them to make millions and millions of dollars by playing a certain Michigan Lottery game, and when state officials caught on to the error, they shut the game down. Then, the same couple was given the "heads up" on a similar game being run in Massachusetts, so they started playing it. Eventually, Massachusetts officials caught on to that one, too, and shut it down. In both cases, the couple wasn't doing anything illegal, and both states were still making a goodly profit from those games, but they were afraid that more and more people would discover the same loophole which enabled this couple to win millions and that is why they shut the games down. Not surprisingly, this segment of "60 Minutes" that aired last night actually happened quite a few years ago. You don't really think that this couple would reveal their secret to umpteen millions of viewers if they were still playing those games, do you? So, my point is,[B] "There is no bucket list for worthwhile errors!"[/B] You'll have to do some homework on your own. Chris[/QUOTE]
