Believe it or not, many people dream of getting rich overnight by buying lottery tickets, right? However, it is well known that the probability of winning is very small! But there's a curious story about an American couple who, after learning they won a super jackpot of $316.3 million, ended up with $162.4 million less. What exactly happened?
According to US media reports on February 7th, Cliff Webster and Tammy Webster are a couple from Wisconsin. In the lottery draw on January 5th, they won the $316.3 million super jackpot, marking the seventh-largest prize in lottery history. They had the option to receive the full amount in installments or a partial amount in a lump sum. In the end, the couple chose the lump sum, and after deducting $153.9 million, they gave up $162.4 million on the spot.
It is reported that the couple discovered someone in Wisconsin had won while watching the morning news, only to realize it was them. Tammy said, 'The news mentioned two winners from California and Wisconsin. When we found out we won, I couldn't believe it. I just sat there.' Cliff added, 'She told us we won, and I couldn't believe it. It's too incredible. I didn't know what to do. At 4:30 in the morning, we hugged and shouted. It was one of the happiest moments of my life.' Tammy said, 'We believed that if we kept buying lottery tickets, we would have a chance to win. Now, our dream has come true.' |
