First of all, let's look at the rules of the Super Lotto game and see how the first prize is determined.
Article 15 in Chapter III of the Super Lotto Rules stipulates the first prize:
When the prize pool fund is less than 65.438 billion yuan, the total prize amount is 78% of the current prize amount minus the sum of the total fixed prize amount and the accumulated prize amount of the prize pool, and the single-note bonus is divided equally according to the note, with the maximum single-note amount of 5 million yuan.
When the prize pool funds are higher than 654.38 billion yuan (inclusive) and lower than 800 million yuan, the total prize money includes two parts. The first part is 58% of the current bonus MINUS the sum of the total fixed bonus and the accumulated bonus in the prize pool. The bonus of single note is divided equally according to the note, and the maximum amount of single note is 5 million yuan; The second part is 20% of the current prize amount minus the total fixed prize amount. The bonus of single note is divided equally according to the note, and the maximum amount of single note is capped at 5 million yuan.
When the prize pool fund is higher than 800 million yuan (inclusive), the total prize money includes two parts. The first part is 28% of the current bonus minus the sum of the total fixed bonus and the accumulated bonus in the prize pool. The bonus of single note is divided equally according to the note, and the maximum amount of single note is 5 million yuan; The second part is 50% of the current prize amount minus the total fixed prize amount. The bonus of single note is divided equally according to the note, and the maximum amount of single note is capped at 5 million yuan.
Note that the bonus per note is divided equally according to the note. There is a maximum amount, but there is no minimum guarantee. In other words, you may get a bonus of less than 5 million.
Secondly, if you buy a number 5000 times, it won't cost you a dime.
The highest prize pool of the Super Lotto is about 8 billion yuan, which is calculated according to the first prize of 5 million yuan, that is, 1600 note, which means you can empty all the prize pools by buying 1600 note. And if you buy 5000 bets, that is, divide 8 billion yuan equally among 5000 bets, and the total prize money has not changed at all, it is meaningless for you to buy like this.
You think you can win 25 billion by buying 5000 times, which is impossible unless there is so much money in the prize pool.
Finally, the lottery center will never lose money because of the limitation of the total prize money.
Because the total prize money is allocated according to the number of winning bets, the lottery center will never lose money. There is no difference between 1 000 yuan and 1 000 yuan. How much bonus you win depends entirely on the prize pool. Now you're not worried that the lottery center can't afford it.
Therefore, many people think that the lottery center can't afford too many first prizes, so it will be faked and it will not be established at all.
