미국 메가밀리언스 로또 당첨금 누적 한화 1조원 돌파. 1.02B 달러[issue:tracker]

미국의 로또 중 대표 격인 메가밀리언스 (mega millions) 가 누적 당첨금액이 한화로 무려 1조원을 돌파 했다.

1.02 Billion 달러의 금액이며 이는 미국 복권 사상 4번째로 많은 1등 당첨금액이다. 메가밀리언 로또는 지난 4월15일 이후 29번 연속 당첨자가 나타나지 않고 있다.

26일 추첨에서 당첨 번호는 7, 29, 60, 63, 66에 메가볼 번호 15였다.

10억2000만 달러의 당첨금은 당첨자가 당첨금을 30년 간에 걸쳐 분할 지급받을 경우 받게 되는 금액이지만 대부분의 당첨자들은 그 대신 현금으로 일시에 지급받기를 선택하고 있다. 그럴 경우 6억250만 달러(약 7908억원)를 받는다.

메가밀리언 로또의 당첨 확률은 3억250만분의 1이다. 메가밀리언 로또는 미 45개 주와 워싱턴DC, 미국령 버진 아일랜드에서 팔리고 있다.

한 미국의 패스트 푸드 업체 Cane's 대표(CEO AJ Kumaran)는 10만불 (13억원) 어치의 티켓을 구매하여 화제가 되고 있다.

해당 기업은 5만명의 직원을 가지고 있으며 35개 미국 주에 체인점을 가지고 있다.

직원들의 반응은 확인 되지 않지만 당첨자가 없더라도 다음에도 다시 같은 금액을 구매할 것이라고 밝혔다.

 

로또 당첨금 증가와 인플레이션은 더욱 해당 로또 당첨금에 대한 기대를 키우고, 적립금을 기하급수 적으로 늘리는 중이다.

This fast-food restaurant's founder bought a lottery ticket for the $810 million Mega Millions jackpot for all 50,000 of his employees

The founder of fast-food restaurant chain Raising Cane's bought 50,000 lottery tickets for employees.

(CNN)The Mega Millions lottery jackpot grew to an estimated $810 million Tuesday and players are testing their luck nationwide -- including Todd Graves, the founder of fast-food restaurant chain Raising Cane's.

At $2 a ticket, Graves spent $100,000 and bought 50,000 tickets Monday, one for each of his 50,000 employees at the chicken chain with locations in 35 states.

"Times are tough out there," Raising Cane's CEO AJ Kumaran told CNN. "(Employees are) seeing it at their gas stations and gas pumps, they're seeing it on their grocery shelves ... Things aren't exactly easy these days, so when we saw there is a chance to not only have a little fun, but maybe win a little bit extra money for our people, we wanted to do it."

Tuesday's draw has an estimated cash value of $470.1 million. If won, it will be the third largest Mega Millions jackpot prize in the game's history, according to the lottery's website.

"Buying 50,000 lottery tickets is harder than you think!" Graves wrote on Twitter. "Hoping to share the winning jackpot with our 50,000 @RaisingCanes Crew."

If any of the 50,000 tickets produce a winner, Kumaran said the prize will be distributed across all employees, calling it a "collective ticket for everybody."

The feedback from employees has been nothing but excitement and anticipation for the draw, Kumaran said.

Friday's winning numbers were 14, 40, 60, 64, 66, plus the gold Mega Ball 16.

The biggest Mega Millions jackpot was $1.537 billion on October 23, 2018, and was sold in South Carolina, according to the lottery's website. Only four Mega Millions jackpots have been won to date in 2022 -- in California, New York, Minnesota and Tennessee.

If Tuesday's draw doesn't produce a winner, Kumaran said the chain plans on playing again.

"If there is no winner, we're going to buy until there is a winner," he said.
