I don't know them but I couldn't be more happy about them winning. They worked all their life and finally figured out how to beat the system and put some money in their pocket. Instead of being greedy they decided to share the wealth. Amazing story. Congratulations to them all.
Indeed
Safety in numbers ?
@GeT RekT Now you’re talkin 🤘🏾
Until this reporter came along.😡
can you imagine if companies did the same for employees ?
What I love about these two wonderful people is they didn't keep it to themselves they shared with others.
Yeah, mostly their kids and grandkids. As it should be.
i would to be honest
Yet.. 90% of others thought their investment group was nuts.. Btw, 18 million in losses but 26M in total wins! wow, doing some quick math.. If this couple personally made 8 million.. which is a 36 million spread divided among 25 investors.. then the avg of 4.2 million a year in returns equally for a 6 year period.. then their group averaged 168K per year in profits.. then rotated 220K as an annual investments for an avg of $388K in returns over this time frame!
@@leighkthemusicmanI wouldn’t because if it got out and to many people knew they would fix the issue
@@hunter.5625 thats what i mean id keep it to myself nobodies getting my money
Just watched the film. It really warms my heart how Jerry shared the idea to his people and helped the community.
Weird how the film shows Jerry retiring from a company, when it shows here that he had his own business.
@@YORKEE"based on a true story " means it's loosely based on reality not that everything in the movie actually happened . They have to make it entertaining and engaging
I Am aware of that, it even states it at the start of the film. Obviously, they have to change things to make it more entertaining, but, twisting the truth is not the way to go.
Hi. What is the movie called
@@Ladygaga4047 jerry and marge go large
He included his loved ones, which means although his lotto loophole is over, he has the windfall of friendships for life ❤
This is not a complicated math computation! Jerry figured it out because he actually read the rules, which apparently few people do.
A little bit like how Michael Burry was the only person to read mortgage bond prospectuses
Yeah, including the folks who wrote the rules. You’d think they’d know better.
"Am I the only one who gives a $#!+ about the rules?!?"
Yep that's not complicated, like everything..that's why you are not a millionaire..
Did ypu read the rules❓🤔
Such a great story. Really cool he shared his wealth with all his friends in a legal and legitimate way. It's amazing that people were taking advantage of this for 7 years!
Yeah, wish I had friends like that. 😂
He didn't share his wealth with them, he shared his knowledge. He shared his wealth with family. Happy for them all.
Well tbh, the more he got other people to throw into pot, the more money they all got to split. So it was in his interest to spread the wealth and knowledge, which is why he turned it into an investment firm.
I hope Marge will market that chicken pot pie!!! 😋
He required to share as to increase his odds and winnings. Either way, well done for him
Wonderful people, probably some of the most deserving people I've seen "winning" the lottery.
Why’d you quote winning? They won fair and square.
That's the benefit of a random drawing, there is no need to have the worth of your soul judged as to whether you are one of "the most deserving people".
I agree, so many have won the lottery and selfishly blown it or made their lives more miserable than before winning. At least this family did some good with it.
@@NickyNicestthey didn't mean it negatively they meant they knew they would win and it wasn't a gamble like most people play it. It was a sure thing.
This is the nicest family. They have six kids. Marge was a housewife. Their kids and grandkids are all great people, and hard workers, too.
The only thing I don’t like about the story is that I didn’t know them and wasn’t in on it 😏 They earned it, well done !!!
Had I stumbled upon this game I woulda figured it out instantly, the sad part is I live in Michigan.
We need state lottery control Liberal hysteria Those darn loopholes
@@captainkrunch6372 DQQ1
Right!! 😄
Hello how’re you?
I just love Jerry and Marge's mindset and energy. They were just having fun... and making millions!
I’m
Damn this is genius. And him emphasising how simple it was is down playing the fact that no one else could see it but him.
It's not genius that's why I'm still confused
@@vampoftrance its one of those hidden in plain sight things. It is basic math. But if you told a smart person you could scam the lottery no one would believe you.
I hope the person who sent the “tip” that started the investigation, ending it all, is miserable in their envy. Good for these folks!
It doesn’t quite sound like the state shut the game down due to this family. It found no wrong doing, in fact found the lottery actually benefitted, but by the time they made that determination the game got replaced like many games get replaced to keep things fresh.
@@neilpatel3750 The lottery did not benefit, that was a feel-good lie in the story. When you beat the house, the house loses.
@@davidquinn9676 That's not how state lotteries work. Someone could win every single time and the state still makes money. A specific amount, generally 25%, but can vary by state, of all sales goes to the state. That money is *_not_* counted as part of the lottery "winnings." Even when someone wins, about 40% of it will be taxed, with a large portion going back to the state. (Yes, the government double dips on taking taxes.) What you seem to be thinking of are casinos, but you're still incorrect. Casinos play the long game. Slot machines always favor the house, even those that promote 96% winnings/payback, because that means 4% is _always_ going to the house/casino. And the 96% are the rare, high-end (usually they are in the 80% range). At casinos, all games favor the house, with the exception of Blackjack. And that's where people who can count cards and know the statistics succeed. (Both of which are legal to do.)
@@davidquinn9676 not true. The state made money and so did these folks. The losers are all the other players who lost because they didn’t figure out the loophole like this guy did. He basically got rich off the losers, like everyone who plays the lottery does.
Good on them, they deserve every single penny. Hearing one of the players say that it paid for his children to go through school was wonderful. The Selbees were also very generous and didn't keep the " secret " for themselves but shared with others. Well done to all of them, I hope the Selbees go on to enjoy further adventures
Agreed. Usually when people are generous and selfless like the selbees, good things come.... God bless those two. 🙂
God Bless you both- enjoy it all. Amen
Hello hope you are staying safe?
@@morris.d5562 Beware guys… Morris is a scammer account.
Yeah, it’s a very great story and I love it. How’re you? Hope family and friends are doing great?
These two deserved every single penny and so did their friends. Most would have been too greedy to share with ANYONE. If anyone should be blamed it’s the games creators.
It's nice to see good people benefitting & having a secure happy life. The lottery game creators didn't have math wiz's.
@@JustMe-po5sf I would call it a Feature and not a Bug :)
They needed investors to maximize profits I think.
Yeah, but blamed for what? It sounds like literally everyone was a winner. So where is the harm?
It sickening how the states close these games down because they didn't like everyone making so much money even though they were making hundreds of millions of dollars instead of being happy for these people
The most incredible part of this story is the extraordinary amount of self- discipline, selflessness, and humility. The values that this couple has is something i truly wish more people had and instilled in their children
Wonderful. I just watched the movie, “Jerry and Marge Go Large” which was about this. I’m so glad to see that it really is a true story. Good for them. Well done.
Hearing her say “we get a high off it” just melted my heart, they are so cute. Good people.
Did you also notice that they were high school sweethearts. No multiple marriages...
@@chicarobertson4706 A true relic in this day and age.
This is what it looks like to be blessed in your old age. And the great thing is this couple spread their wealth with their family and community. If anyone deserved to win, it’s them.
They're not Blessed if they have not accepted Jesus Christ

@@sonja5191 I guess you'll find out at the end of your life Jesus is real
Yeah, it’s a very great story and I love it. How’re you? Hope family and friends are doing great?
What an amazing story for this couple. They loved what they did after retirement which is what matters and also made them big bank legally. The man is very smart for finding a loophole in their local lottery game. Everyone won here even the state which won 120M.
Well no, the state lost. Whatever the teams won, on net, the states lost. Whole swaths of state employees should be fired and lose their pensions for this, if they were truly "public servants" rather than little kings and queens.
When I lived in Michigan and was young and new to the job market, I quickly learned, it's not what you know that matters, it's who you know that matters most. It's also a bit sad that more people didn't figure this out. I'm happy for this couple. Great story. Thanks.
Meaning that is is good to have friends....
In this case though... It literally was what you knew. (the statistical odds)
Yep. I am where I am at in my career pretty much all based on who I know.
Fascinating. He doesn't realize he's a genius at math. I love how they shared this with family, neighbors, and friends and how they used their money to better those around them.
Maybe he's not a genius at math and just knows more than the dull reporter about what makes him not a genius.
Sure he does. He said he's great at math and everyone in town mentioned it. May not be genius level but hella smart and fundamental understanding of it at the very least.
Too bad more celebrities or wealthy people don't do that.
@Stephanie 1985 yes, bringing everyone one up is definitely exponentially beneficial for all. Since we are all connected.
Seriously? A genius? That is like third grade math.
Dozens and dozens of children all educated what an amazing story. No lambos, Tahiti trips, just Marge’s pot pie.
Hopefully , the "dozens and dozens of children" concentrated on/majored in something of practical use as opposed to allowing themselves to be brainwashed by the monstrous cretins running and occupying most of this nation's 'Institutions of Higher Learning'.
What a great couple! Such nice, down-to-earth people…good for them! Can’t wait to watch the movie now.
Dear Jerry and Marge: I'm up for adoption real soon.
Yeah. Love the story it is a great story. How’re you? Hope friends and family are doing fine? Have a safe day
This is why I love America. Jerry could have sat on this and done well but decided to share his knowledge and help his family and friends. I just wish our government could figure out that every success shared makes us all better.
Well said
But they don’t instead of the 💰💵 circulating the top 🔝 one perc of the U.S hoarders the mula and or spend it over seas truly awful.
…but should we have to depend on the lottery or someone’s generosity….in the wealthiest nation on Earth 🤔?
@@davidhenson5876 He did the best he could with what he had. Can't say say that for many multi millionaires now a days.
The government did figure out and keep it to themselves
He read the rules, he calculated the odds, and then played the odds. Very basic math percentages. He had the time and the insight to do so. Most of us are so harried by the day to day "rat race" that we are not really thinking as clear as we should in order to make good decisions and judgments. Congratulations to this lovely couple.
Yesterday Friday June 16th was my 53rd Birthday and I watched this movie today Saturday June 17th as one of my Birthday Gifts to myself. If you want to be on a High Vibration and on the SAME frequency as Jerry & Marge; watch this movie and then go play any Lottery Game just for fun at your Lottery Store in your town. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I LOVE THIS MOVE! I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I wish the movie had been longer. God Bless the City and State of Evert Michigan. I celebrate all the people that were apart of GSIS investments. Thank You Jerry & Marge for making a MOVIE so the people like myself that is a Lottery Player can see what it feels like, when you are playing for fun and HELPING others.
“That was satisfactory” 😂
This is a great story. This man did nothing wrong or illegal. He’s smart at math and figured out the odds. This is the same reason, similar people are banned from Vegas casinos (private businesses). Those good at math aren’t allowed to play there because they would lose money. All the, “State lottery” could do is, shut down, “this” version of lottery game. When the casinos win, OR the State wins, it’s ALL oKay…. BUT, when a person who is good at math and “plays the odds” it’s suddenly , NOT ALL OKAY…..Sad. But true.
CORRECT! LOTTERIES ARE FOR TAXING THE PEOPLE FOR THE GAIN OF THE STATE! GAMBLING!
The lottery games designed by States are not there for regular people to win, and State to lose money. It is vice versa.
@@ImportedFromSerbia it was originally started by the mob and when the government found out how much money they were making they outlawed it and changed the name to the State lottery.
@@ImportedFromSerbia, That's what the states intend to happen but they underestimated the determination of Jerry with the master's degree in math & the MIT students.
Couldn't agree more with your casino assessment. I never gamble at those places because I know they are dishonest enough to take it right out of my hands with some technicality.
I have never experienced friendships like this couple, Jerry and Marge, has. They were a success long before the investing in the Cash Fall lotteries. I do hope the largess bestowed on the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren results in the same degree of sharing that the couple exhibited.
We all have to create value in the lives of those around us like they did.
They are amazing they helped my family become multimillionaires
great story! what makes it even better is that they shared their strategy and winnings with family and trusted friends. like a crooked casino, the states just couldn't stand it when someone other than them was raking in all the cash - even when it was a relatively minor percentage of the total.
Jerry & Marge *really* won the lottery when they met & married ... and so did their progeny & friends. What a team!
My dudes got a giant brain. He obviously should be rewarded for putting all those braincells to use. 1000000% respect.
To him it was just simple arithmetic
@@theomz007 to anybody with a basic high school education it was simple math. He just noticed it and more importantly was in a financial position to and did indeed act.
The math went over my head but I am glad for this couple.
its kinda crazy because that math is not even that much higher than basic math skills.
Absolutely wonderful. What a great story! God bless... It isn't often we open the computer, newspaper, whatever and have a smile come out of it. Thank you! ( And I love chicken pot pie!)!!!
This just absolutely made me smile. Good for them.
Crazy how the lottery company thought no one would catch up to their “secret”😂
What a heart warming story. I am so happy to all the winners.
This guy got his friends and family involved sharing the wealth. Great guy
State of California never had a "Roll down" Lotto. After this man explained what he did one can see why lotteries don't do this anymore. I have a mathematics degree and the ONLY lottery system I ever had was solving the algorithm placement of winning scratcher tickets when the lottery first came out in 1985. I would buy up 500 to 1000 scratchers then scratch off the areas where the winners were located then return the unscratched tickets to the store where I purchased them for a refund. Back then one could return unscratched tickets; can't now. Then I would redeem the winners at another store. It worked until the tickets were sold with the legal condition that once sold, gone for good from the store, whether one scratches them or not.
Growing up in Evart and going to the corner store. They absolutely deserve every penny they won fairly.
I used to go through Evart to Luddington area to hunt and fish in the eighties, people were nice. I probably stopped in their store.
🤣a retired couple figured out the lottery, told their friends, and a bunch of grandchildren got their school paid for? MURCA!
Great story, nice to see someone doing something good for others by finding a loophole. The movie is quite enjoyable and really pushes that idea as well. Do good for others, less for yourself.
I wish I was this good at math! But I absolutely LOVED what they did with it when they created the corporation. They spread it around allowed other people to get in on it. They really are 2 special people! I liked the movie too, it’s on Hulu I believe.
Whats the name of the movie?

Give the IRS auditor a metal folding chair in the corner of a cold pole barn with 18 million lottery tickets. Nice.
The best thing is that they shared with others, brilliant.

Love the story, it’s great. How’re you hope friend and family are fine?
I loved this story especially how generous they were in sharing their knowledge. A lot of people won in this including the state, so I wish they didn’t stop the game. Jerry was very observant and methodical by reading the rules of the game, understanding the odds of winning after the roll down and applying his basic math skills to determine his rate of return. While many say he was a genius, he is very humble besides generous in sharing saying it was applying basic math skills. He certainly was smart enough to figure out the so called loop hole and be able to apply his math skills in his head. While I understand the explanation of the roll down and could follow thee math presented I wish there was better explanation on the odds of winning calculations he did both from initial odds of winning five, then four then three numbers and how he was able to break down the returns so quick. For me it would have been helpful to have more visual breakdown of all the math that Jerry was able to do in his head. I like being able to follow it better and yet I think it is remarkable how he was able to quickly put it all together in his head and seize the opportunity he discovered. I love this story and this couple as well as how they handled themselves and helped their family and town, etc. Great story we need more stories like this Good honest. Hard working and law abiding people.
Im with you. I need a visual of the math! 😀🙏🏻✌🏽
Most people are good, honest, hardworking people.
Yet in the movie. they were typical, whiny Boomers.
Yeah, it’s a very great story and I love it. How’re you? Hope family and friends are doing great?
It is called Combinatorial mathematics (aka; Combinatorics). It takes up about 3 pages of a high school Algebra book. The part I couldn't figure out, was how to get the tickets printed out (in a reasonable amount of time). Rather than print out a 1000 tickets, people got mad and made me leave the store.
The dumb part is the lottery commission "didn't know" how easy it was to win. They accused the winners of being the problem.
And when they started paying out more than expected (and only through one game) they didn't check for loopholes or do an analysis.
They got mad they had a game to offer and it was beatable
Noone ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public...
Let's be real here, they don't care at that time even if they knew it because they're getting millions of sales. That tabloid story is the one that put the nail in coffin

If you are reading this, know that you are worthy of anything you desire. Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word.

Yeah hope so. The story was great love it. How're you Kim? Friends and family are staying safe?
State makes millions yet are the sorest of losers! I am always rooting for the underdog. What a wholesome story. Go Jerry and Marge!!! 👏
State should be embarrassed and fire everyone associated with the lottery, with a college degree, who missed this. But nobody gets fired for incompetence in government. What a feel-good story!?
The “underdog” was the hundreds of thousands of people who lost the money that they won as well as the (tax) money the state took out of the prize pools.
'State makes millions' *off of the **_millions_** of dummies* that willingly...eagerly fork over their hard-earned(in most cases) money on an inherently and ultimately losing proposition.
@@sarahdeshay1394 No one forced them to play the lottery. No one forced them to vote to allow the state to sponsor a lottery. No one forced the state to be so incompetent that they devised a game that could be 'beaten'.
@@mitchyoung93 Not so much beaten, just cracked to loosen the pools wall to leak a little. The state still "won" 120 million in profit, then taxed the winnings of 26 million enough that this couple only "won" after taxes 8 million... So it's not really incompetence, a couple someones figured out the numerical loophole and got just rewards
Gotta love this man and his answers to the interviewer. Sparkling of whom, he was awesome as well.
God bless the old folks! 🇺🇲 May peace of mind and warmth of human heart fill their lives forevermore. Thanks to 60Minutes for a piece of enriching journalism.
I love this story about the fact that they were able to drive long distances, sort these tickets out for 10 hrs. at a time, etc. Jerry formed a business & brought his friends in on it. They shared the winnings with family, friends & remodeled their house. The state never saw a man with a master's degree in math & his wife coming! I love how they improved the lvies of everyone around them. They didn't harm anyone & certainly weren't greedy!
Yeah, it’s a very great story and I love it. How’re you? Hope family and friends are doing great?
Congratulations. They deserve joy and respect. Great American story.
Yes - agree!
Amazing story. Just watched the movie and I gotta say these are amazing people and couldn’t be happier for them.

"Dumbfoundedly amazed" is a phrase I hope to be able to use in the future.

Have you seen the movie with Brian Cranston? It’s fantastic.
Yeah I do need it also. How're you?
WOW! I saw an ad for this. I didn't pay much attention, writing it off as a goofy story line for some improbable "feel good" movie. I'm SHOCKED to learn that it was actually TRUE! Kudos to them for figuring out the odds & to 60 Minutes for doing the story! So much more satisfying than a fictional "feel good" fictional movie.
With this coming out the system will change for sure. Thank you for sharing. You guys deserved every penny.
Eventually they noticed after years of this. But they will probably make a new mistake, apparently they're all very dumb in the government, and they pay no penalty for it. I didn't hear of anyone getting fired.
Mr. Jerry was a blessing to so many. Thank God for him.
Wow, what store clerk was ringing up those tickets. It would have taken all day!
I used to buy lottery tickets for my Aunt, I've seen people literally play hundreds of dollars in lottery numbers. And not just once in a while this happened almost every time I went.
They did Nothing Wrong !! As a matter of fact the older couple was driving almost 1000 miles and then in a cheep motel room they sat for 10 per day going through the tickets. Good for them ✌🏼👍🏼😎
Fantastic story. Truly a blessing for all of them.
Came here from the movie 👏👏👏 absolutely standing story im so inspired and happy to learn about them two.God bless them ,beautiful life

A team math wizards from MIT, one of the the most respected universities on earth figured out how to legally beat the lottery and one retired shop keeper from a small town in Michigan figured the same thing out in ten minutes by himself!!!
