The man who won the lottery 14 times
How a rogue Romanian economist legally gamed the lottery and won millions of dollars around the world.
Stefan Mandel, a Romanian mathematician and entrepreneur, became a folk hero when he successfully used his algorithm to exploit the Virginia state lottery in 1992.
His strategy allowed him to buy every possible combination at once, earning him a one-time payout of $14 million. He then split this sum between himself and investors who had contributed to purchase the tickets. Since then, all 44 US states that run lotteries have implemented laws preventing the replication of Mandel’s strategy.
After declaring bankruptcy in 1995, Mandel spent 10 years running investment schemes, one of which earned him a 10-month jail sentence in Israel. He now lives a quiet life on a remote tropical island in Vanuatu, having retired from the lottery. Despite never revealing his algorithm, Mandel’s legacy lives on in the laws that protect against similar strategies being implemented. Reflecting on his experience, he said: “I’m a man who takes risks, but in a calculated way.” The chances were, as he had predicted, in his favor.
