I think it is the first news that I have seen that a player bought tickets and that all have had reagalos, are very special cases that do not happen very often, just enjoy this that is out of a reality, hopefully we have that luck and be able to share our experiences with everyone.

I think it's the first time I've seen someone buy so many tickets haha. The most I have bought has been 10, and I didn't even recover the money invested haha. But hey, from time to time cases like these will appear. Although I imagine that this guy, in the past he has already spent his good money on more tickets

Eloy, you realize that after tax this man will be left with a sum of money to spend on food and bills. It's not a small thing, but he can pay the rent for a few years with that money. Let's be serious, this winner was lucky because he played a lot of tickets.

Of course that is luck, no one can deny it, that happens very little, but it should be enjoyed to the fullest, it is a good money where it will serve you a lot for the beneficiary, hopefully you can have the luck of this person and can also win that amount of money.

Either he was desperate or it's normal for him to buy so many tickets. Or it may happen that there was a jackpot in the lottery. For example, in my country there is a kind of lottery (48 numbers, where you have to match 5 to win the jackpot) and if no one wins it, the prize accumulates for the next draw. I don't know if the same thing happens in the USA.

lotteries are not all the same but they have enough prizes, because in addition to jackpots there are a lot of nice prizes, that make people to play. Some of them buy a ticket, others more, but this man with 264 is a real player.

The most beautiful thing about lotteries is that you have the expectation of being able to win a lot of money with just a few cents that you bet, that is why many people play it very often, this man has a tremendous luck to win all the tickets that he bought.

The odds are, even if they are 1 in 1 million (or much more really) then one always has a minimum of hope. The closest I was to a millionaire well (at least in Uruguay) was being the boyfriend of a girl who won part of the lottery hahah. She earned about 77 thousand dollars, which for Uruguay is quite a lot.

the chances for this player are impressive, but these are mathematical calculations that should not satisfy us. Our responsibility when we playing is to think about what numbers we put, or how many tickets to buy, depending on the system we prefer.

I would like to be as lucky as this player who bought a lot of tickets and came out a winner in all of them, but you always have to have faith that these things can happen, maybe it can come true for us someday too.
