Mathematician's Brain Hole The American media revealed that a retired mathematician used his spare time to look for loopholes in the local lottery. A few years after he bought lottery tickets, he made a profit of $26 million (about 654.38+600 billion RMB) through legal means. This is a basic arithmetic problem. The retired mathematician is from the University of Michigan. His name is Jerry? Selby, who has a lot of leisure time after retirement, devoted his professional knowledge to the study of lottery tickets. At that time, Michigan introduced the lottery category. If no one hits all six winning numbers, the prize pool prize will automatically increase the prize of the next winner, so that the winner who hits five, four or three numbers may get a much higher prize than expected. Selby saw the introduction of this lottery and was keenly aware that it would increase the chances of winning. He calculated the winning rate carefully with his own mathematical skills, and found that if he could buy a certain number of lottery tickets, his winning rate might be surprisingly high, and the bonus could completely cover the lottery expenses.
After netizens envied this incident and spread it online, netizens envied it with their real names. Buying lottery tickets can earn hundreds of millions, which is a dream scene for many people. I didn't expect that in real life, someone could really do it. I have to say that life is really omnipotent, but there are many things we haven't seen or even thought of.
Retired mathematician, lottery winner, can earn nearly 200 million by buying one, which is really admirable. So it is true that knowledge changes fate! As long as you learn math well, you are likely to become a billionaire, and it is easy.
