    the answer is that she's a compulsive gambler who played all the time, and got lucky. Which is why she's now in Vegas pissing her winnings away at the craps tables.. or if she's smarter, making money at limit hold'em.... just depends on how she has directed her compulsion.

    She seems like a very intelligent math professor playing the lotto.

    Yeah...totally agree that she's a degen. The writer of this article seems to imply that volume was key to her success. But when it comes to lottery odds, you'd have to have more than a few lifetimes for volume to come into play. Still pretty funny that she's a math professor and a degen gambler.
