HeHeHe...suppose it was reverse and they sent out emails saying those people OWED $100. Would everyone be so anxious to insist the people pay up

Why should they pay people for recieving an unintentional email? Especially since most of those people didn't even bother to take the survey.

But the e-mail system grabbed the e-mail before it was ready andbegan transmitting it to all 45,000 MyLottery subscribers, saidGonzalez.

Huh? Seems a lot more likely that somebody accidentally clicked the send button before it was ready.

What were the odds that two people were actually winners from the 3,700 sent. OK you got 20 winners within 45,000. 3,700 were sent out, what are the odds.

On Tuesday, the Colorado Lottery sent out 3,700 e-mails to MyLottery subscribers telling them they had won $100.
