Odds favour win for organised lottery players

It seems to be very likely the group systematically buying lottery tickets earlier this week would have won the nearly three-million-franc jackpot.

Before Wednesday night’s draw, retailers reported purchasers buying tens of thousands of tickets. It seems the aim was to buy every combination available. 

Authorities partially suspended sales of the ‘Joker’ game. It was shut down in the shops – but still available online.

One single ticket won – and the odds favour the group. 

Lotterie Romande says it's investigating the unusual activity, but is refusing to comment further.
