kevinwang Dec 7, 2020 | on: An Elderly Mathematician Hacked the Lottery for $26M | context

this is the best article on the topic. Probably my favorite article ever, actually. I also like how it frames Selbee as an average joe-turned-convenience store owner with a side interest in math, instead of how TFA frames him as a mathematician.

Previous discussion on the good article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16494280

Honestly, the currently linked article seems to me like low-effort blogspam.
