TFA is, to put it politely, incomplete. They played both the Michigan and a later Mass state lottery. It looks like the Michigan lottery may not have detected them.

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.

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

I remember that one. The medium article looks like a summary.

It's worse though. Because it completely ignores the Massachusetts lottery, which was where the MIT team actually came in.
