People are searching the internet for Lotto Genius reviews and details about a so-called ChatGPT tech expert named Ethan Dawson. They’re hoping to find out whether this new $197 app, system or product really can help them win the lottery using artificial intelligence. But beneath the flashy marketing and slick videos lies a deeply misleading scam. A thorough look at how this scheme is presented — especially through healthbloginsights.com and misleading Facebook ads — reveals a manufactured narrative packed with fake endorsements, deepfake voices, AI-generated visuals, and unverifiable claims.

First, for readers who would rather watch than read, I created a YouTube video that breaks down everything about the Lotto Genius app or system, as well as the truth about Ethan Dawson:
What Is Lotto Genius?
Lotto Genius is a product marketed through an ad funnel that begins with a short video ad on Facebook. That video takes users to a long video presentation hosted on the website healthbloginsights.com, where it’s claimed that a man named Ethan Dawson — supposedly affiliated with ChatGPT — used AI to crack lottery probability algorithms. According to the voiceover and visuals, Dawson allegedly won the lottery 34 times using his own proprietary system and is now offering access to that system for $197.
The offer includes typical sales pressure tactics like a fake “discounted” price (marked down from $970), a video progress bar that deceptively slows down over time, and scripted testimonials that sound like emotional appeals from people who claim they were unemployed or on the brink of losing their homes before winning big thanks to this tool.
Deepfake Audio and AI Visuals
The lengthy video presentation features multiple voiceovers that exhibit all the hallmarks of AI-generated speech — unnatural pacing, robotic intonation, and awkward phrasing. The visuals are filled with stock footage and manipulated images meant to resemble legitimate interviews or news reports. There’s even a false claim that Scott Pelley of “60 Minutes” interviewed Ethan Dawson, accompanied by a deepfake news segment complete with background music and fabricated images.
Logos for CNN, NBC, ABC, and Fox News appear throughout the video in an effort to build trust and credibility, but none of these networks have covered Lotto Genius. There is no record that any legitimate journalist has ever mentioned Ethan Dawson, let alone interviewed him.
Who Is Ethan Dawson?
Ethan Dawson is presented as a mysterious, successful tech genius. The video claims he was involved with ChatGPT, discovered a so-called “lottery loophole,” and has now decided to share it with the world. His photos with large checks displaying lottery winnings — poorly Photoshopped and oddly formatted with strange text overlays — is supposed to show him rubbing shoulders with names like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and maybe even Sam Altman.
But a basic investigation reveals no verifiable public identity tied to someone named Ethan Dawson who has won the lottery even once, let alone 34 times. No search engines, state lottery records, or court filings support such a claim. The name Ethan Dawson appears only in connection with this promotional campaign, making it highly likely that he either doesn’t exist or his image and identity were manufactured entirely for the purpose of selling this product. Instead, scammers misappropriated a “60 Minutes” interview with AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, falsely claiming Ethan Dawson was his name.
False Endorsements and Political Targeting
The long video presentation promoting the purported AI-powered lottery app or system attempts to build legitimacy by suggesting that figures like President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have expressed support for Lotto Genius or Ethan Dawson. There are scripted lines claiming that Musk admires Dawson for “not keeping this to himself” and that Trump supports putting “freedom back in the hands of the people.” These references appear to be aimed at targeting specific political demographics in the U.S.
However, no such endorsements exist. Neither Musk nor Trump has ever acknowledged Lotto Genius or Ethan Dawson. The inclusion of these figures is a manipulation strategy — not a reflection of reality.
BBB, Trustpilot, Consumer Reports and Complaints
Consumers looking up Lotto Genius reviews alongside terms like BBB, Trustpilot, or Consumer Reports will not find legitimate profiles or review pages for this product on any of those platforms. There is no Better Business Bureau listing for Lotto Genius, no legitimate reviews on Trustpilot, and certainly no mention in Consumer Reports. What you may find, however, are complaints from users who have seen similar lottery-based AI scams and been hit with unexpected charges after making a purchase.
In past cases of similar scams, users reported that their credit card companies blocked follow-up charges that were automatically attempted. Others were not so lucky and lost money they never expected to spend.
HealthBlogInsights.com: The Deceptive Source
The video presentation is hosted on healthbloginsights.com, a website that sounds like it might publish health tips but is instead being used as a funnel for this scam. Once the long video ends — which could take nearly an hour — a button appears prompting the viewer to “Change Your Financial Life Now.” That click sends the user to a checkout page on a different website promising access to Lotto Genius for $197, supposedly a massive discount from the purported original price of $970.
It’s important to note that none of the entities involved in this marketing funnel offer a way to verify who is actually behind the sale. The lack of transparency is a hallmark of scam operations. Domains like these are often disposable — set up quickly and discarded once the scam has been exposed.
Familiar Scam Tactics, Recycled Products
The strategy behind Lotto Genius mirrors countless other fake “lottery AI” products that cycle through different names — Lotto Champ, Lotto SMS, Lotto Cash, Lotto Defeater, and many more. Scammers create a story, slap a new name on the product, and run ads until word of the scam spreads. Then they rebrand and do it all again.
Some of these scams even display websites in videos for similar scams like lottocash.online. These domains are often registered anonymously and based outside the U.S., including countries like Brazil, which has become a hotbed for digital scam operations. Still, there are signs of U.S.-based involvement — someone managing the funnel or the payments might be stateside, using a layer of separation to avoid detection.
Misleading Claims About Lottery Probability
The core pitch of Lotto Genius rests on the idea that artificial intelligence can “crack” the lottery. This is a fallacy. Lottery numbers are designed to be random and unpredictable. Even if certain games have better odds than others, the idea that an AI system could consistently predict winning combinations with enough accuracy to win 34 times in a few months is statistically absurd.
Calling it a “legal loophole” doesn’t make it credible. No one has ever presented real, verifiable evidence that a system like Lotto Genius has resulted in multiple wins. Instead, the marketing preys on desperation and false hope — especially targeting people in financial distress who are looking for a quick way out of debt or poverty.
Progress Bars and Psychological Tricks
The presentation itself uses deceptive psychological tactics. The progress bar, for example, is designed to make viewers think the video is almost done — but then slows dramatically. Viewers who think they’re investing just five minutes of their time end up watching for 30 to 60 minutes, during which emotional music, urgent language, and repeated claims about “secrets being revealed” work to wear down skepticism and push a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out).
This tactic of “slow reveals” is part of how scammers draw users deeper into the pitch without offering any real substance until the end — when the purchase button appears and the viewer is emotionally primed to buy.
The Bottom Line
Lotto Genius is not a legitimate tool for winning the lottery. It is a rebranded scam using AI-generated audio, deepfake videos, false endorsements, fabricated success stories, and deceptive ad funnels to trick people into paying $197 — and possibly more — for a product that does nothing.
Searches for Lotto Genius reviews, Ethan Dawson, BBB ratings, Consumer Reports mentions, Trustpilot profiles, and customer complaints turn up the same result — no credible support, no real evidence, and no legitimate product. The system is built entirely on false promises and phony authority.
Anyone considering Lotto Genius should close the page, report the ad, and avoid giving out payment information. Products that promise to help you beat the odds in gambling — especially without revealing who is really behind the sale — are not designed to help you. They are designed to take from you.
Avoid Lotto Genius. Avoid Ethan Dawson. And avoid any system that tells you it can guarantee a lottery win.
Editor’s Note: I utilized ChatGPT to help write this article. However, ChatGPT used the transcript from a well-researched YouTube video I created about this subject, meaning hard work went into the creation of this scam-busting effort. Scammers use AI to scam people. It’s time we use AI to bust their scams.
