ABD'de şans oyunu "Mega Millions Lottery" tarihinin en büyük ikramiyesi olan 970 milyon dolara ulaştı. ABD’deki yasalar gereği talihli paranın yaklaşık yarısını nakit almayı ya da tümünü 20 yıl boyunca taksitler halinde almayı tercih edebilir. 5 Ocak'ta Florida eyaletinde gerçekleştirilen çekilişte de 470 milyon dolar ikramiye tek bir kişiye çıkmıştı.Huge Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots will make some people very rich, very quickly. Those who buy the winning tickets, that is.
As of this writing, the Powerball estimated jackpot is $470 million and Mega Millions has an estimated jackpot of $970 million. Both jackpots are expected to grow even higher, as hype attracts more players to the game.
The trouble is that the chances of winning either jackpot are extremely low and remain steady in every drawing. And that’s the case no matter how high the jackpot is.
