Mathematically crack the lotto rules!The old couple won the 720 million lottery in 10 years
Mathematics is difficult and boring for many people, but in the United States, a couple used mathematics to solve the lottery, and then in 10 years, they made a huge profit of 26 million US dollars (equivalent to about NT$720 million), even if the local government Finding that something was wrong, he quickly closed the lottery ticket and launched an investigation, but there was nothing he could do because there was nothing wrong with the investigation.
The Daily Mail reported that Jerry Selbee and Marge of Michigan, USA, 80-year-old Selby graduated from the mathematics department of Western Michigan University (Western Michigan University). The lottery ticket of “Winfall” can be cracked only through basic mathematics.
The report pointed out that “Winfall” has a “roll down” rule. When the amount of the first prize is accumulated to a certain level, the money will be distributed to the prizes below the second prize; if all 6 numbers are matched, you can get 5 million. The dollar jackpot, if no one wins in the current period, will distribute the prize to those who hit 3 to 5 numbers, so the small prize will also increase.
Selby revealed that the odds of winning the lottery for all numbers will tend to be similar for a long time, and the odds of unpopular numbers in the past will increase in the future. In order to test the speculation, at first he bought a lottery ticket of $3,600, and after the lottery was drawn, he received $6,300, which was nearly double the investment cost, and then spent $8,000 to buy a lottery ticket and also won double the prize money.
Since then, Selby has not only researched lottery tickets every day, but also invited relatives and friends to jointly set up a company specializing in lottery research, GS Investment Strategies. The lottery “Cash WinFall”, which spends 10 hours a day to manually redeem prizes, makes a huge profit of 26 million US dollars.
After the local government discovered this situation, it was worried that the lottery tickets had been manipulated, and closed the “Cash WinFall” and launched an investigation. However, since the investigation was not illegal and the odds of winning the lottery were not affected by large bets, the Selbys were determined to have made legitimate profits.
