Ploughing on Towards Second Place
So, the hunt began for all the potentially second-place ranking tickets. Incredibly, their efforts paid off on a level that even the brainy schemers could not have imagined. In just four years’ time, the men had actually made it to first place! The group had secured eighteen years’ worth of income in just a single day. Stefan had bigger plans in mind, however, ones on a global level!

Ploughing On Towards Second Place
Goodbye, Romania
Stefan took his portion of the winnings, collected his family and left the communism-wrecked Romania and his terrible job at the mine behind. Of course, escaping the iron clutches of communism was not so simple, with Mandel having to bribe foreign ministry officials. His next destination was to be Israel for a while, before heading to Australia, where he would take up his newfound occupation: cheating the lottery! Stefan further improved on his winning formula, making it simpler. He also raised the stakes.
