He made his own winning ticket and enlisted the help of one of his buddies to cash it. Not sure what the 3rd guy did. Maybe he came up with the scam and talked the others in to it. Nobody believed they had the winning ticket because it too had 4 singles Not sure how they got caught, but they did.

I remember greed being a factor as to how/why they got caught, as if they printed multiple winning tickets instead of just one ticket, or something to that tune. Had they just scammed with one ticket, the red flags wouldn’t have gone up (as much) and they most likely get away with it.
