A rumor circulating online in April 2025 claimed an app, product or system called LottoCash — a purported artificial-intelligence (AI) “lottery loophole” offered on lottomania.online (or lottocash.online) — could help people win the lottery. The marketing and purported reviews for LottoCash falsely claimed prominent figures endorsed the offer, including actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley, U.S. President Donald Trump, tech billionaire Elon Musk and a supposed former NASA developer named “Dr. Thomas Davis.”
However, my investigation into the AI “lottery loophole” confirmed the offer is a scam. No famous people endorsed LottoCash. The creators of the product hid their identities and provided no details about their country of residence. Further, LottoCash resembled previous scams that promised secret methods to win the lottery, but victims ended up losing money instead of gaining anything from the so-called “loophole.”
In this story, I’ll dial through everything I uncovered about why consumers should stay far away from LottoCash, LottoMania and other products offering purported “loopholes” to win lotteries.
LottoCash Scam Ad Featuring ‘The Rock’
On March 28, 2025, a user in control of a Facebook profile named Priscila Okamoto began paying Meta to show Facebook and Instagram ads for the LottoCash scam, including one misleadingly featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Facebook profile’s “page transparency” tab revealed the user’s location as Brazil.
The video ad (archived) featuring Johnson began as follows:
If you don’t hit at least four numbers in the next lottery draw, I’ll send you 10 grand straight to your account. No questions asked. I’m saying this because there’s a new AI that predicts lottery numbers without relying on luck. And when you use it, the chances of not hitting at least four numbers are basically zero. That might sound ridiculous, but just give me 15 seconds to explain.
A lot of people still don’t know this, but in 2025, nobody needs to count on luck or any of those sketchy tricks to win the lottery over and over again. It’s insane. After breaking down the biggest lottery winners of all time, Dr. Thomas Davis, a former NASA developer, uncovered a secret Powerball’s been trying to hide for years, A loophole in the lottery system that predicts the winning numbers without depending on luck. A loophole so simple that any American can use it to start hitting four, five, even six numbers in the lottery every week.
And you know what’s even crazier? After using that same loophole to win 34 times in the past nine months and basically retiring from the lottery, he recorded a short video showing how anyone can use it to hit their first big win in the next five days. Sounds crazy, but it’s real.
To be completely clear, Johnson never endorsed LottoCash. A scammer improperly used Johnson’s image and likeness to create the video with deepfake visuals and artificial intelligence-generated vocals.
LottoCash Pitch Video on Lottomania.online
The Facebook and Instagram ads led to a long pitch video for the LottoCash scam on lottomania.online. Above the video, the headline read, “Lottery Loophole? New AI Predicting Lottery Numbers Goes Viral on TikTok and Makes Americans Hit Jackpots Without Relying on Luck!”
The lengthy video misleadingly made it appear with deepfake visuals and AI-generated audio that Pelley broadcast a special segment about Edwin Castro, a genuine Powerball lottery winner. The clip further showed fakes of Trump and Musk talking about the product, and alleged Powerball officials attempted to stop the new “lottery loophole” or “AI” from reaching the general public. For example, the video displayed a deepfake of Trump saying of LottoCash, “This new artificial intelligence has found a loophole in the lottery system, and there’s nothing we can do. It’s 100% legal, and we cannot ban it.”
Just like in the ad with Johnson, the long video featured a man purportedly named “Dr. Thomas Davis.” The AI-generated voice for “Davis” called Scott Pelley the name “David” — a mistake by the scammers.
Under the video, logos for ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN displayed next to each other. The page’s title also showed as “USA Today,” even though USA Today had no involvement with any LottoCash reviews or coverage.
LottoCash Reviews, Price and Additional Details
The checkout page for LottoCash appeared on a Digistore24 page on checkout-ds24.com. The page showed a LottoCash logo with promises of a “60-day guarantee” and “secure payment,” with no information whatsoever about the people involved in creating the product. The page failed to display LottoCash reviews, other than a row of five orange stars. The product’s pricing displayed as $197.
As for genuine LottoCash reviews, the trustworthy consumer-review websites BBB, Consumer Reports and Trustpilot displayed no information about the product.
Past lottery scams closely resembled the marketing for LottoCash. Consumers who paid for those apps or systems did not benefit financially from the product. They simply lost their money upon buying the product. Look no further than the reviews for Lottery Defeater — a product also going for $197.

Hi Arthur. I’m so sorry. I often receive questions asking if there’s any legitimate system to earn money in a simple way. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any systems like those.
I knew something was up when two different characters we’re giving the same story, They we’re reading the same script. 191.00 dollars, no way.
