The parents of three children claims that their 9-year old autistic son Steven, predicted the lottery draws with the help of a series of complex mathematic formulas that he designed himself, successfully producing the six winning numbers on three consecutive weeks.

The statistical odds of winning the jackpot of the Ohio Classic Lotto with a $1 ticket are theoretically only of 1-in-13,983,816, but the young boy obviously found a way to beat the odds, and three times rather than one. He seems to have found a way, somehow, to predict the results of every draw despite odds that most mathematicians would describe impossible to beat. His amazing mathematic skills have brought in more than 12,7 M$ of gains over three weeks.

Brian and Jenny Morgan were overjoyed when they claimed their prizes of 6.1M$, 2,9M$ and 2.7M$ from the Ohio Lottery Commission.

>“Steven just loves mathematics” says his Jenny Morgan. “But since he has Asperger’s syndrome and autism, I am afraid that many ill-disposed people could try to take advantage of his gifts. We are not really certain what he wants to do yet, we’ll have to ask him, but we will make sure he is happy and that no one exploits him.”

Can someone explain how this is possible ? ? It's like counting cards at poker but with millions of dollars worth of lottery money
