Sure. Bottom line is there was a guy who... had the job of writing the code that was going to pick random numbers through a computer program. And he put a little bit extra into that code so that on two dates a year,
If that date fell on a Wednesday or a Sunday, I think it was, if the draw was happening after 8 p.m., if all three of those things would meet, then instead of using a random number generator, it would use a six variable formula to sort of pick the seed. And so, of course, because he was an insider, he knew. He knew what day this could happen. Right.

And he would know what those variables were so he could go out and buy a small number of tickets and guarantee a win. He, his best friend, his brother, and then some guys who are Bigfoot hunters because his brother is one and they're believers. Meaning like Bigfoot, like Bigfoot, Sasquatch. Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Somewhere. Yeah.

He might be somewhere out there in nature, but he is definitely in my book, which is called The Winning Ticket. They... We're able to have a good story that only helps your true crime narrative. Yeah, it's well done. They were able to get away with this for effectively for a decade.

Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, the Iowa one was a very big one. They had a couple of tiny jackpots in there for 20K, but they were winning jackpots of over a million dollars. And one of my favorite stories in the book actually is about how The first one, they actually had the FBI come and question the brother about how the money had gotten won.

He was questioned while he was in a hospital bed because he broke both of his legs while falling out of a tree Bigfoot hunting. So there's that. But When Eddie, the mastermind, was trying to convince his best friend, hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it. We can do this a second time.

One of the things he shared with him only at that point, after the best friend had already won one jackpot, was, hey, look, this is how easy this is. This is how sure I am. The FBI actually questioned my brother when I did this with him before I did it with you the first time. Yeah. And the guy blew his top because that was the first time he learned about this other jackpot.

Not only was there another jackpot, but also the FBI had questioned some of the people involved. So he got a lot less happy with his best friend after that. It's always nice when the people you're investigating aren't that bright. You know what? This is human nature. And Chuck, you wanted to we wanted to wrap it up. This is why we have checks and balances.
