Joan Ginther, who held a doctorate from Stanford University, became famous after winning the Texas lottery four times between 1993 and 2010, collecting about $20.4 million. Researchers and journalists have long speculated that her deep understanding of statistics and probability helped her identify favorable opportunities in scratch off games. However, no evidence of wrongdoing was ever found, and all of her winnings were legally verified.
