The second biggest prize ever in the United States lottery came from a ticket purchased in Arkansas, which cost less than two euros. The winner receives a beautiful Christmas gift: more than 1,500 million euros.
I hadn’t been out for several weeks and the value of the prize was accumulating. But on Christmas Eve, just in time for presents, someone finally managed to win.
The numbers drawn correspond to a ticket sold in Arkansas for just two euros, but the winner will receive around 1.5 billion euros, a fortune that is the second biggest prize ever in the United States lottery.
Whoever wins the Powerball can choose to receive all the money at once or receive installments over 29 years.
According to the mathematical calculations that some decide to make at these times, the probability of winning a prize of this size is several times lower than the probability of being struck by lightning, twice.
The biggest prize ever in the North American lottery went to a player from California three years ago, who took home almost 1.7 billion euros.
