When Jay Samit was in his early 20s, he maxed out his credit cards designing a new machine for reading lottery tickets. However, his design was beaten by a competitor who was bribing the judges. When he flew back to L.A., he realized that his kiosk design would be perfect for airports. He turned his failure into an opportunity to solve another problem.
