‘They did everything in their power to stop us’ – New film sheds light on how an Irish syndicate ‘beat the lotto’ in 1992

The story of how an Irish syndicate changed the way national lotteries operate across the world is to receive its film premiere at the Dublin Film Festival next week. Directed by Ross Whittaker, Beat the Lotto documents the true story that captivated Ireland in 1992 when a syndicate helmed by mathematician Stefan Klincewicz attempted to cover close to two million combinations and guarantee a rollover Lotto jackpot win.
