American Man Won Rs 41 Lakh Lottery With Strategy
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Winning the lottery has everything to do with luck. While some people win the lottery after years of hard work, others win by chance.But it looks like our perception of winning the lottery is not what it seems to be because one person won the lottery by using his brain and a lot of strategizing.
A man from Maryland, USA, chose his lottery numbers based on his analysis of 20 years of drawings. Then this 77-year-old man used the digits for many years and finally won the jackpot of Rs 41 lakh ($50,000).
This lottery winner told the Maryland lottery that the numbers had gotten "stuck in his head."He said that he could remember the digits from some of the earliest Bonus Match 5 lottery draws.
The man had decided to buy his lottery ticket for the September 16th lucky draw at the Long Gate Mobil store in Baltimore. He said he recognised his numbers when they went across the TV screen.
The man then admitted that he was left amused after his ticket numbers were flashed on the screen. He said: "I’ve had four numbers match several times, but to be truthful, I never expected to get all five."
The man will buy a new car with the winnings
He ended up winning more than Rs 41 lakh and now plans to use the winnings towards getting a new car.
Players of the Bonus Match 5 game can win prizes of $15, $30, $400, $600, and the $50,000 jackpot. There is probably a one in 52 chance that a $1 ticket will win the prize.
The Maryland lottery is independent of the government of the state of Maryland. According to Wikipedia, the lottery offers ten draw games. These include instant FAST PLAY games and instant scratch-off tickets. Daily drawings are shown on Baltimore television station WBAL-TV.
A person should at least be eighteen years of age to buy a Maryland lottery ticket. Casino patrons should be at least 21 years old. The state of Maryland also has six privately owned licenced casinos that each offer slot machines and table games.
The lottery is a big part of the US culture and many states in the country have different lottery systems organised by their governments. This also includes states such as Michigan and South Carolina. Many American citizens have won the jackpot by sheer luck or when they absolutely did not see it coming.
