Maybe real people win the lottery, but they get disappeared by CIA agents, the winnings collected with asset forfeiture, and anyone who complains about this obvious problem is, you know, also disappeared. Intimidating an American is very easy to do.
Maybe nobody real wins the lottery. Maybe it's all crisis actors and rigged tickets.
Maybe it's a money-laundering scheme for certain Mafia factions with the right convenience store connection.
Maybe it's just the roll that's fake. They find whoever they like and program the machine to spit out their number - doing things in reverse.
How would you know? How would you check? Opportunities are everywhere, and the motive is obvious. Mens rea can be assumed until proven otherwise...and it flagrantly isn't.
Admittedly the Mafia one is somewhat unlikely as the lotto obviously an extra tax levied on being poor and stupid, while adding money laundering would make it too complicated and make government agents too obviously criminal. No plausible deniability, and no staff that can pull it off either.
