A couple in the United States managed to win the lottery using mathematical calculations! This genius couple, with their astounding mathematical methods, successfully cracked the secret to winning the lottery. Over the course of ten years, they won a jackpot of $26 million using their mathematical skills. After a government investigation, they were ultimately confirmed to be "legitimate winners." Now, are you curious about how they did it?
The couple hails from Michigan, and the husband is named Jerry Selbee. He holds a degree in mathematics from Western Michigan University (so that's the reason! Anyone regret not paying more attention to math?). In 2003, Jerry accidentally discovered a lottery called "Winfall" and, applying basic mathematical concepts, effortlessly decoded it to win substantial prizes. Let's find out how he did it.
Winfall's jackpot could go up to $5 million, but to win, one needed to match 6 numbers. However, this lottery had a special rule called "roll-down," and Jerry saw an opportunity there. He found that by buying enough tickets, he could ensure winning at least 5, 4, and 3 numbers.
Through his researched "winning strategy," Jerry could guarantee winning at least one ticket with 4 numbers for every $1,100 he invested in Winfall, which paid $1,000. Additionally, there would be 18 or 19 tickets with 3 matching numbers, totaling a prize of $1,900.
After successfully cracking Winfall, it was time for action. Jerry first turned $3,600 into $6,300 and then won almost double that amount with an $8,000 investment. With the winning secret in hand, the couple closed their convenience store and focused entirely on buying lottery tickets. They even established a company called "G.S. Investment Strategies" and invited friends and family to invest together.
Later, when Winfall suddenly stopped selling, it didn't affect their wealth. They turned to a similar lottery called "Cash WinFall." Interestingly, they only bought tickets seven times a year, and in ten years, Jerry earned a profit of $26 million. Now, you might be wondering, with such a high-profile winning, didn't they get investigated and caught? Indeed, it attracted the government's attention, but surprisingly, they were confirmed to be "legitimate winners," making them successful figures in lottery history. |
