A group attempted this in a state lottery which I saw in a documentary about it a long time ago.  There weren&#x27;t even close to the numbers or potential gain involved in the Powerball and needed a fair bit of luck rather than all the numbers, but still they profited big. Back then I think the problem was that they couldn&#x27;t print and submit the paper lottery tickets quick enough to get all the numbers, so ended up just chancing it.  I guess using the internet these days should make it quicker, but still, in the UK last weekend the online demand for a £50m prize lottery managed to shut down the online site.<p>Some discussion of the state lottery win on reddit: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;todayilearned&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1t8ool&#x2F;til_in_1992_an_australian_gambling_syndicate&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;todayilearned&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1t8ool&#x2F;til_i...</a>
