Some people buy a ticket and that's it, but in this way it's not so easy to win and with more tickets they have more chances to win. I suppose he will continue to invest sometimes buying enough tickets. People believe in lotteries and this is good as long they manage not to lose.

I really don't think the nationality of the winner matters to say if it's real or not. I think that $500 (in total considering 2 draws on different dates) for an American is not that much money. Possibly some strategy had to play this lottery. Perhaps in the past you have already won in this way, although smaller figures. Everything is possible

we have to play like the American to try our luck. More tickets, more chances to win. So it is with lotteries, but also with other games. I hope that I will also play in a poker room at certain lotteries, because there are some interesting ones and NetBet offers this chance.

these are stories that are hard to believe, but we know that this is the reality, that they can happen to anyone, they are very specific cases, now we know that not all of us can be as lucky as this player, that is why we must always play responsibly.

we don't just have to think about how many tickets he bought because it doesn't make sense. Man can afford this, and now he has a very good profit even after tax. The important thing is to spend his money profitably.

We know that these games are not profitable, many play them for fun, but there are others who play them professionally, it is respectable, that's why stories like this fill us with joy, maybe we will be the next winner.

I think a lot of people spend a lot of money on tickets, but what usually happens is that they lose money. Or at least they don't earn as much as in this case. He beat the odds of 1 in 1000. Maybe he had done it before (buy so many tickets) but without making much money. But when you lose money, it's not news haha
