If the prize is not won, the amount of the prize pool will exceed $ 1 billion

According to the Associated Press quoted the Ohio Lottery Committee spokesman Mary Kilbane, the Society of Lottery Committee said that the sales of the National Super Million Awards from July 19 to July 22 will rise from $ 116 million By $ 172.1 billion. As the huge bonuses on Tuesday, local time have attracted much attention, lottery officials expect the sales of the prize to climb to $ 262.1 million.

Kirbin also said that if there are still no winners on Tuesday night, its sales may continue to grow crazy, and the prize bonus of this Friday may exceed $ 1 billion.

Careful filling in the number of lottery

It is reported that the last winning of the "National Super Million Award" was on April 15th. At that time, a player in Tennessee matched all six numbers and received a prize of $ 20 million.

Since then, the lottery has not won the prize for 28 consecutive draws, which has increased the prize in the prize pool every week.

Buy all the combinations, is it cost -effective after winning the prize?

Some people will ask, can so many people buy prize tickets now, can the chance of winning the prize rising? Experts say it is almost impossible.

Experts point out that this is because although sales have surged, it also means that more possible number combinations, but the chance of winning for everyone's winning is still unchanged, about 302.5 millionth, "it is really low to a tragic level" Essence

Although theoretically, you can buy all 302.5 billion possible digital combinations, it is almost impossible in actual operation, because it does not make money at all.

Line in line to buy lottery tickets

First of all, if someone really takes out more than $ 600 million to buy all these $ 2 lottery tickets, then a team also needs a team to coordinate the request to buy each number combination. Considering that this is hundreds of millions of workloads, this is the workload of hundreds of millions. It will be a suffering of a torture.

And even if someone has completed this task, please keep in mind that the 830 million US dollars in the prize pool is issued through annuity, that is, a bonus will be paid each year, and a total of 30 years will be paid. Therefore, almost every winner will choose to pay cash at one time, so the amount of the prize pool will decrease to $ 487.9 million, and about one -third of them will be used to pay the state tax. In addition, there may be a lot of local taxes. This specifically depends on which state you live in the United States.

In addition, there are countless people who spend only a few dollars to buy lottery tickets. Some of them may also win with you, which means that the first prize will be divided into two or three copies. Become less.

Therefore, it is not cost -effective to make a lot of money to buy a lottery.

I was very happy to buy the lottery

It is reported that the "National Super Million Awards" had a longer continuous record in the past. It was the 36 rounds ended on January 22, 2021. At that time, it won a $ 1.05 billion super prize in Michigan.

However, this is just the third largest prize in the history of the American Lottery. The largest one is the three players in California, Florida, and Tennessee in 2016 and won a huge power award of $ 1.586 billion.
