A guy I once met pulled down $30 million with less than a minute's worth of work by buying a lottery ticket. By TechCrunch's logic, that's another killer datapoint in favor of the Powerball as an investment vehicle.

From the article:

"This is an extraordinary game and certainly not representative of the average revenue from other paid apps in the App Store. But it also isn’t even currently on the top list of paid apps, and it continues to pull in substantial dollars, spiking, we hear, to as much as $60,000 per day."

I thought the story was going to be about the Federation Against Software Theft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_Against_Software_The...

And I thought it was about Fast Search and Transfer AS from Norway. Apparently they were bought by Microsoft in 2008 to become their Enterprise Search department.
