That's actually not true. Bill Nader knew something was up because all six tickets were at the same OTB outlet...and it was from a district where there had been problems with past posting of Pick-6 bets in the past.

If they had made just one winning ticket, and shown some of the kind of creativity you mentioned, they most likely would have gotten away with it. It was the six winning tickets from the same place that was the tip-off. And, the myth that Volponi making them the only winner is also false, as had even Medaglia D'Oro won and there been say ten total the six in one place still would have been a red flag. Especially THAT one place.
