| Lottery authorities and local bookmakers became
suspicious after word on the street came out that the game was fixed. Tickets sales showed a heavy
bias towards tickets purchased containing all combinations of 4s and 6s. The lottery was fixed by Perry and Fred Luman, who managed to switch the normal
ping pong balls with ones weighted with latex paint for all numbers except 4 and 6. Later viewing of
the drawing tapes, it conclusively showed that only the numbers 4 and 6 were light enough to enter the
tube to be drawn.
Perry, in conjunction with Peter Margos, Jack Margos, and 5 other men were either
convicted or entered plea-bargains for their involvement. |
