The winner of the US Lottery Powerball won 800 billion won in 4 months.
According to CNN broadcast on the 21st (local time), a resident of Maryland in the United States hit all five numbers 40, 53, 60, 68, 69 and the powerball number 22 in the lottery the previous day. The residents, who were lucky to win the first prize alone, amounted to $731.1 million (approximately 86.1 billion won) if distributed in the form of pension for 29 years, and $546.8 million (approximately 6,02.8 billion won) when received as a lump sum. This is the 6th largest amount in history, including Mega Millions, the two largest lotteries in the United States, and the 4th largest prize in history in terms of powerball alone.
It has been confirmed that the Powerball lottery ticket, which has not been ranked first since September last year, was sold at Cony Market, a convenience store in Rona Corning. For Powerball, you have to choose 5 of the numbers 1 to 69, and then choose one Powerball number from 1 to 26 and match all 6 numbers. The probability of winning the first place is 1 in 292 million.
The largest prize in the history of the US lottery was Powerball’s $1,586 billion (about 1.74 trillion won) in January 2016. On the other hand, Mega Million also had no first prize winners for the fourth month, so the prize money rose to 970 million dollars (1,66 trillion won).
