A retired Michigan couple revealed on “60 Minutes” how they used simple arithmetic to “crack the code” on state lotteries and win over $26 million.

Jerry and Marge Selbee owned a convenience store in Evart, Michigan, according to a CBS report, before retiring and finding a lottery loophole that they leveraged to strike it rich. The couple’s story is so fascinating, according to the broadcaster, that a Hollywood movie on its basis is now apparently “in the early stages of development.”
