    3. that's a good deal! I think the guy selling for $250,000 upped it to to $999,999... that's quality scalper humor. :)

  2. Or maybe he sold 38 tickets in one shot. Or maybe he decided not to list so many tickets... (clearly looks like the same person still selling 10 tickets at $2499.00) Still a win though. =>

  3. I don't get it - does that lister really have 48 tickets? If so, how did they get so many? If not, how is such fraud dealt with?

    1. Tough to say. Could just be a scammer. Could be a burner running a honey pot. Could be someone who has money and time to set up multiple addresses/visa cash cards to gain multiple lottery entries. The Burning Man Lottery was open for two weeks. Two weeks is a long time.
