What the hell?? You should at least sell it to someone. Do you know how much money you'd make?!

FUNNY YOU SAY THAT! There's this brazilian politician, Joao Alves, who, back in 1993 alone, "won" the lottery 56 times, to a sum of roughly 17 million USD. Turns out buying smaller lottery wins is a great way to launder money, much like "winning" at a casino or betting house.
