A resident of the American state of North Carolina played the lottery for five years, writing his favorite numbers into the tickets, and hit a big jackpot. He writes about this “Today«.

Benjamin Sinclair from Winston-Salem admitted that he buys Powerball lottery tickets only before a really big jackpot. Each time he uses the same numbers: 08-12-13-19-27, which he calls “special.”

The combination of your favorite numbers brought the American one million dollar win. The man decided to take the jackpot immediately with the payment of the tax, and not get it all for several years. As a result, the amount was about 705 thousand dollars.

Recall, employees of the company from the US state of Michigan together bought lottery tickets and won a million dollars.

“When the jackpots in the Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries became big, the boss said to collect money and promised that he would double our amount,” said one of the lottery club members. Only three people refused to participate in the venture.

Earlier, 47-year-old resident of the US state of New Jersey, Richard Wal, won 533 million dollars in the Mega Millions lottery. Thus, he hit the biggest jackpot in the history of the US state of New Jersey.

Americans love to buy lottery tickets. On average, an American spends about $ 200 a year to buy lottery tickets, although residents of some states give much more. According to the study LendEDUOn average, a Massachusetts resident spends $ 735 annually on lottery tickets, while spending in Delaware or New York is close to $ 400 per year or $ 33 per month.
