I read something once where someone (I think some business) made every effort to buy all lottery tickets for a particular payout once the payout amount went high enough to make that a viable (profitable) option. It turned out they actually failed to get every single ticket for some reason, but I think they did get the winning ticket.

That is a dangerous thing to do. If there is more than one winning ticket you lose.
Yup.
