@gbhnews has a new podcast series, “Scratch & Win,” which is about the rise of America’s most successful lottery. Expect tales of organized crime, the FBI, and U.S. politics — just another day in America, in other words.

GBHScratch & WinNever in American history has it been so easy to gamble, legally at least. We’ve got casinos, sports betting, online poker, keno — but it was all made possible by state lotteries, which brought gambling out of the shadows and into the public square — into the government itself.“Scratch & Win” follows the unlikely rise of America’s most successful lottery. We begin in 1970s Boston, with state bureaucrats going toe to toe with mafia bookmakers, and each other, as they struggle to launch the state's greatest innovation: the scratch ticket. But the story reaches all the way to the present moment. How do we feel about the gambling industry that lotteries helped summon into being? And should the state be in this business at all?“Scratch & Win” is made by the Peabody Award-winning team behind “The Big Dig,” produced by GBH News and distributed by PRX.

For once I don’t want to bullshit this prompt.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

If I won the lottery, I would buy a big ass plot of land (a square mile plus) in the middle of nowhere – not gonna tell you hooligans where because this is the fucking Internet and people are weird – and start a neuroqueer commune complete with a live tracking studio mostly filled with analog gear 😍 and I would use the remaining funds to fill people’s GoFundMes and start SEVERAL businesses I’ve been meaning to start, lol.

I have plans….

🥳 Celebrate openness, reduce bias, and avoid competition

...is the motto of our annual #OpenResearch Award. We want to highlight the use of open research or teaching practices, not rank them.
Using a bingo cage, we randomly draw three eligible submissions to win 500 euros each.

We'd all love to win the lottery... but what are the chances of that?

Well, they're a great deal higher if you know how to HACK the lottery. Which is exactly what one guy did...

In this segment of a keynote speech, I explain how a hacker managed to rig a multi-million dollar lottery... and how he was caught.
