Massachusetts has put a limit on ticket purchases for one of its lottery games after the Boston Globe reported that high-stakes gamblers had discovered a loophole that let them profit handsomely.
On Sunday, The Boston Globe reported that a handful of professional gamblers found a quirk in a lottery game called Cash WinFall. If they bought more than $100,000 worth of tickets at certain times of year, they were virtually assured of making a profit.
Following the report, state Treasurer Steven Grossman said that stores can only sell a maximum of $5,000 worth of Cash WinFall tickets in a single day.
