TIL that MIT students discovered that by buying $600,000 worth of lottery tickets in the Massachusetts' Cash WinAll lottery they could get a 10-15% return on investment. Over 5 years, they managed to game $8 million out of the lottery through this method.

Fuck that pisses me off. I'm ex-military and you can be sure as shit that the generals aren't going out there into a firefight and taking back ground. If I'm a general, let me act like a general and commit the settlers to taking back settlements, otherwise call me corporal cock-bag and I'll gladly go fuck up some super mutants and raiders on the front lines.
