Unusual frequent lottery wins in Pennsylvania probed

Even the Auditor General in Pennsylvania is finding the frequent lottery wins too good to be true.

The Office of the Auditor General has launched a probe into what he described as “unusually frequent lottery winners” in Pennsylvania between 2000 and 2016.

PennLive blew the whistle on the issue after their six-month investigation found that more than 200 Pennsylvanians claimed 50 or more lottery prizes worth $600, which many statisticians say to be improbable.

The wins of many current or former Pennsylvania Lottery retailers had also caused eyebrows to raise in the state.
