Italian Students Crack Lottery with AI
Three Italian Math and Physics students from the University of Salento used AI to win nearly €50,000 in the lottery. They developed an AI application based on historical probability of winning certain numbers.
Testing the System
- They tested the system in a tobacco shop in Monteroni, winning €4,500.
- Further improvements led them to win €43,000 by buying different types of tickets.
The Seller's Tip
The key element for their application came from a newsagent, Diego Manca, who suggested playing the most frequently drawn numbers.
Remaining Realistic
Despite their success, the students acknowledge the lottery's randomness and view their experiment as a curious project.
