In the past two days, the lazy American people have become restless again, because The most well-known lottery in the United States, Mega Millions, has reached $1.6 billion , setting a historical record for human lottery.
right, you read that right, it is 1.6 billion, 1,600,000,000. 16 8 0s behind.
is calculated at the latest exchange rate, which is RMB 11.087 billion. What Alipay koi is instantly turned into a cloud.
Suddenly, everyone's American dream revived again, and everyone bets wildly. Despite the hardships of life, you still have to have a dream. What if you invest one or two dollars and you will become a billionaire when the lottery draws next Tuesday night? !
So people started to queue up outside supermarkets and gas stations across the United States that sell lottery tickets.
In some states that do not sell lottery tickets, people quickly drove to adjacent states and lined up in long queues at the highway exit.
Whether you buy it or not, seeing the bonus breaking the record, many people decided to participate. Anyway, it only costs two yuan per bet. Since someone wants to win the prize, why can't it be me?
Everyone rushed to buy lottery tickets before the deadline, and the sales of "super million" also set a new record.
The American lottery is different from China. In China, people are used to saying "win five million!", because Chinese lottery tickets have a fixed prize amount. , while American lottery mostly keeps rolling. As long as no one wins the lottery, the money for buying the lottery will roll into the next prize pool, and the amount of the first prize will continue to grow.
So, American lottery players always keep circulating like this:
Turn on the TV and see the winning results - I found that I didn't win the prize - I found that no one else won the prize, so I started to be happy again, because the prize pool became bigger again - I went to buy the next issue of the lottery, I believe this time is different. After rolling
for several months and a total of 25 times, the bonus pool reached a record-breaking US$1.6 billion.
"super million" has also become "super billions". The screen that originally showed the bonus was not enough, and the staff had to change M to B outside the lottery store.
"Super Million" is a household lottery in the United States and is sold in all states except Nevada and other six states. (You can't buy super million lottery tickets in Casino Las Vegas , magical)
Each lottery consists of 6 numbers. Players need to first select 5 numbers from 1 to 70, and then select a number from 1 to 25 as the "mega number". If the first five numbers of
match the final lottery results, you can get a fixed amount of prize. Last Friday, a winner bought 5 numbers right and took away a $3.5 million prize. and if all six numbers are guessed correctly, all the prizes in the prize pool will be taken away.
Its lottery ticket costs 2 yuan per bet. The probability of winning is super low:
According to calculations, the probability of winning the first prize of "Super Million" is one in 302,575,350, which is one in 300 million! In comparison, the probability of you being hit by lightning is much higher, more than 200 times the probability of winning the "Super Million" first prize!
"Super Million" has two ways to receive the prize. One is to take it away at one time. During this process, the lottery tax stipulated by US law and the relevant taxes and fees in the state where the lottery is purchased, the results are about 900 million US dollars.
Another type is to collect it in installments. You can choose to collect it in 26 years, and the taxes will be much less. This seems to be a thoughtful move to prevent the winner from suddenly swelling and then quickly going bankrupt.
However, judging from the past winning results, everyone took it away in one fell swoop. It seems that everyone doesn't care about self-inflation at all. Buying a lottery is to expand! Everyone who bought a lottery has already thought of countless ways to spend money before the lottery draw, and who wants to keep a steady flow of time with you.
The most important thing below is here, knocking on the blackboard to mark the key points!
Such an opportunity to get rich overnight is not only for Americans, but all foreigners who live in the United States can place bets and buy them!
In other words, even if you are a tourist who comes to the United States to play, it is valid if you buy it and win the prize! So theoretically, you can ask your friends to buy on their behalf, and once you win the prize, you will fly to receive the prize in person.
And around Silicon Star people, many friends have suddenly appeared in the past few days. They each have their own pricing, and generally use Alipay transfer, take photos and keep certificates, and make real-time transactions, so they are not deceived.
Everyone has united because of their common dreams.
A friend who has been doing lottery purchasing agents for two years told Silicon Star that although he has never won a grand prize in the past, the customers have not stopped. He said that Chinese customers prefer American lottery gameplay, with no upper limit on bonuses, which is more attractive than domestic millions of rewards.
"After all, money is not worth much now, prices are rising, so millions are not attractive."
According to the purchasing agent, the first prize amount this time broke the record, and more people asked him to buy it on his behalf suddenly. Someone left him a message saying, "How can I spend the night slowly? Buy the lottery!" Then he asked him to buy a lottery of 5,000 yuan.
Indeed, before the lottery draw, each of us was full of hope. Just for this increasingly rare sense of hope, it is worth buying two lottery tickets to experience it. How to relieve your worries is that you can get rich and buy lottery tickets together at night!
(Friendly reminder: The lottery draw time of this issue is 8 pm on Tuesday, Western Time, and the sales deadline is one hour before the lottery draw. The specific situation may vary depending on the regulations of each state.)
