Winnings

note, that in this lottery the order of numbers does not matter. The most important thing is to accurately guess all the numbers.

for example, if you have selected numbers on your lottery ticket in the following order “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6», and in the lottery drum they fell out in a completely different order "2, 5, 6, 1, 3, 4». It does not mean, what did you lose, on the contrary, we won, after all, absolutely all the numbers of this drawing have been guessed.

Consider, how the size of the win depends on the number of guessed digits:

• 1 red ball - 4 Doll. USA;
• 1 white and 1 red balloons - 4 Doll. USA;
• 2 whites and 1 red balloons - 7 Doll. USA;
• 3 white balls - 7 Doll. USA;
• 3 whites and 1 red ball - 100 Doll. USA;
• 4 white balls - 100 Doll. USA;
• 4 whites and 1 red ball - 10 thousand. Doll. USA;
• 5 white balls - 1 million. Doll. USA;
• 5 whites and 1 red ball - jack pot.

If the draw is played with a multiplier, then the amount of the win will be:

• 1 red ball - from 8 Doll. USA to 40 Doll. USA;
• 1 white and 1 red balloons - from 8 Doll. USA to 40 Doll. USA;
• 2 whites and 1 red balloons - from 14 Doll. USA to 70 Doll. USA;
• 3 white balls - from 14 Doll. USA to 70 Doll. USA;
• 3 whites and 1 red ball - from 200 Doll. USA to 1 thousand. Doll. USA;
• 4 white balls - from 200 Doll. USA to 1 thousand. Doll. USA;
• 4 whites and 1 red ball - from 20 thousand. Doll. USA to 100 thousand. Doll. USA;
• 5 white balls - 2 million. Doll. USA;
• 5 whites and 1 red ball - jack pot.

It is because of the Powerball prize pool that the online USA lottery is considered one of the most profitable for players., because the cost of tickets is not very high, and there are serious sums at stake for winnings.

Increase in winnings

Everyone wants to get a large amount of winnings, than declared by the organizers of the lottery. If you play Powerball, then you always have such a chance. Players can double or even triple their bets. Of course, the cost of one ticket also increases. But, more chances of getting a prize.

To get a bigger prize, players can cooperate and create a so-called "syndicate". This is not part of the official Powerball rules, however, it is not prohibited by US law.

The principle of operation is simple: a certain number of participants in the drawing redeem the maximum possible number of tickets. In case of a win, it is divided "fairly" between all members of the syndicate.

There are two options for winning section:

• equally among all participants;
• proportionately.

Most often, players choose the last partition method. It means, that the player will receive a large amount, who bought tickets for 100 US dollars, and not on 10 US dollars. This division is considered fairer and more honest..

True, this option is not available for players from Russia and you are unlikely to be able to find honest organizers, who can represent it.

Maximum winnings

The Powerball lottery is considered one of the largest lotteries in the world. And this is not surprising, because at the beginning 2016 the prize fund was 1,5 billion US dollars. This is a lot of money even for wealthy American citizens..

This jackpot was won by a resident of Florida, who recently turned 80 years. The woman did not even suspect, what ticket, which she bought in the store for 2 US dollars, will make her a real millionaire.

The American had two ways to collect her money:

• the whole amount at once (in the end she would get 930 US dollars, net of all taxes and fees);
• partially "split" payments into 30 years.

The latter option would be more profitable in terms of taxation. It is also a safer scenario., since there are known cases, when lottery winners took their big winnings, and then they were just lost.

However, the winner decided, what to expect at her age 30 years is not the best option, so I took all my prize at once.

The maximum winning amount is not limited. As already said, every week is added to the base jackpot 10 million US dollars, if there was no main winner in the previous draw. therefore, everyone has a chance to hit the biggest jackpot in the world and set a new record.

The probability of becoming the owner of the main prize of the lottery was then 1 to 18 millions. Besides, a one-time payment of the entire prize amount did not exist then. Player, lottery winner, received my prize in parts.
