It’s fairly amazing to me that the person being accused of being a grifting creep is the journalist who tracked down quotes in several states from witnesses to a notable event instead of people who are clearly running a game on multiple lotteries.

Norms have really changed in the last decade or so.

the journalist is acting like a stalker wanting something from a lottery winner, and is indistinguishable from the other people out there that would be doing the same thing

someone playing a lottery in a way that no lottery authority disagrees with would never be called grifting.
