Interesting facts about lotteries

Amazing and sometimes incredible incidents occur in the world of lotteries. In this article we want to share with you some facts.

A resident of New York Juan Rodriguez had a lucky chance to get his hands on an impressive sum of money by winning about $ 150 million.

Juan before his winning earned quite small money - because he worked as a guard and his salary did not bring the desired lifestyle, while his wife did not work at all. Their family had a loan that reached the amount of 45 thousand dollars and demanded immediate repayment to the bank; while in the wallet of our hero there were only couple of dollars. Having lost all hope, he bought a lottery ticket and won! And it wasn’t just some small prize - Juan hit the Jackpot!

But the fate of Juan was ironic and after the victory his life did not become happier. His wife filed for divorce and through the court she acquired half the money, while complaining that he had won too little.
Great winnings open up our eyes to many things and the true essence of people around you can be learned after such events.

In many lotteries of the United States winners have the opportunity to decide how to receive the money. The whole lump sum or payment of partial sums stretched over time.

If the winner wants to receive the whole amount at once, then this amount is significantly lower than that which he won and is connected with the high taxes in the United States.

In the second case you can get the whole amount, but it will be paid in equal instalments and depending on the lottery. It can be - once a day, once a week, once a month or once a year.

In many countries in Europe they began to use one sly trick – fare tickets in some transport participate in a special lottery draws. As strange as this measure is, it reduced the amount of people who travel on the transport without tickets and increased the incomes of transport companies.

Another interesting fact is about the balls that are used in the lottery machines. Each ball weighs exactly 78 grams and in cases when the ball needs to be pulled out manually, it is required to use the right hand only.
