It really does bother me sometimes
Imagine if 4 people won the euromillions jackpot and then one of them tried to claim the others had copied their numbers or cheated in some way becuase the odds of 4 people winning were so low that the only explanation could be that the others had cheated.

What would happen if you really DID copy someone else's lottery numbers and they won?
Is there a law against that?

Not in a lottery where getting the numbers is guesswork, no
but if you copied someone's answers for a prize crossword that could support a charge of Fraud.
