Rhetorical question
Therein is the problem. I watched a show several years ago about a group of investors from Australia who decided to buy up all the number combinations to guarantee themselves a win.

It was a big undertaking that they had to split up among several people just to get the tickets all paid for and printed out. They eventually bought all the numbers and won, but there were two other jackpot winners as well. In the end they basically spent a lot of time and effort and essentially broke even.
