Victorious, Nonetheless
Regardless of their ticket shortage, Mandel and his team still did enough to get them the win, not just for first place, but every prize involved. They had searched Virginia of tickets to the point that it wasn’t possible for anyone else to win! So, what did Mandel ensure for his crew? The jackpot measured in at $27 million. Then there were multiple second and third place prizes, as well as thousands of smaller placings!

How did He Do it?!
In order to better understand how Mandel cracked the big win, let us take a closer look at what he and his followers did leading up to it. So, we know that Mandel put all his investors’ money into checks. This was something he achieved by working with Lowe Lippmann, an accounting firm which then shifted the millions of dollars into a Boston bank called Crestar Bank. The money was then divided into cashier checks worth ten thousand dollars each. Finally, he started approaching Virginian retailers to organize the wholesale ticket purchases. For this, he would need a second in command. But who was bold enough to take on Mandel’s crazy schemes?
