People who design these games think about security. Sometimes (rarely) exploits get unnoticed and go into production.

I'm confused about why we are supposed to believe that there is anything exploitable about this particular card?

Look at all the horror stories of badly written programs or moronic CEO or things like that.

The other parts of the world are fucked up as well. There are probably a lot of "secure" lotteries, but there are probably also a lot of insecure ones.

Even smart people using good software can make mistakes.
