I stand corrected!  I thought you meant lotteries in general...  There have
been other huge jackpots, though none this large.  I was just wondering if
in the past someone might have done what you suggested for this one.  I'd

tamper with a lottery drawing.  I bet it would do well at the box office!
Lol
