The company also overstated its revenue by $US52 million. He was frustrated that the idea kept resurfacing, even as the company struggled to survive. In his eyes, the company was meant to focus on everyday lottery customers, not \u201crich jackasses trying to game the system, doing Hail Mary events once in a blue moon\u201d.

The team needed to buy close to 100 tickets a second for 72 hours straight between Wednesday\u2019s draw and Saturday\u2019s.

The chief executive who led the company since 2019 will step down upon the completion of a new anti-money-laundering program. The company\u2019s biggest revenue generator is its in-venue poker business, which attracted nearly a million Australians via about 25,000 tournaments last year.
