How to win the lottery - almost 100% option

Is it possible to surely win in the regular lottery? Of course, one has only to buy lots of tickets. For example, the lottery "6 out of 44", held in 1992 in Virginia, all possible variants of tickets can be counted only 7,059,052, and each cost just one dollar. But the jackpot - 27, 9 million.
Enterprising comrades from Australia, found investors, fund founded and organized the purchase of tickets. Considering the last unpleasant experience, all tickets this time filled manually (cunning lotteries owners always find a loophole in the rules so as not to give prizes!). Few have not calculated the time to buy - 125 points in three days was able to buy only 5 million tickets, but those odds enough to win.
Unpleasant expectation that someone else could fill a winning ticket, did not come true (well, really, that you have ever won?). As expected, a month left for the courts, but as a result of the triple earnings yet been received.
About this story somehow not really apply, there were only a decision of the courts, and a note in the NYT, and of a book on matstatistike.
