Wei Zi American red ball

Powerball is one of the most popular lottery games in America. At least 28 states in the United States sell this kind of lottery tickets, which are drawn every Wednesday and Saturday. The setting of Powerball is to choose 5 out of 55 white balls, and then choose 1 from 42 red balls. If all six figures are right, you can win the first prize. This lottery game is similar to the two-color ball of China Welfare Lottery. The two-color ball is a powerful ball that originated in America. It is also a two-zone game, but it was improved according to the national conditions of China when it was introduced into China. The two-color ball is not simply copied from foreign lottery tickets, but innovated according to the characteristics of China color market, which greatly reduces the difficulty of winning. The two-color ball is divided into red ball area and blue ball area, that is, six numbers are selected from 1 ~ 33 in the red ball number area, and then 1 ~ 16 in the blue ball number area to form a lottery ticket.

According to the calculation, the probability of winning the first prize in Powerball is 65.438+one in 46 million. Based on the probability of China lottery 2 yuan RMB 654.38+0, the whole package needs to be close to 300 million yuan; However, the probability of winning the first prize in the two-color ball is 1.772 billion, so winning the prize is much easier. Moreover, winning a blue ball has a small 5 yuan Prize, and the hit rate is as high as116, which greatly lowers the winning threshold and forms a distinctive feature of "more big prizes and more small prizes". Because it is very difficult to win Powerball, the first prize pool usually cannot be allocated cumulatively. However, because the first prize is not capped, as long as it is opened, the bonus will be very rich, often exceeding 100 million. According to the relevant regulations of our country, the first prize of the lottery is capped at 5 million, and the two-color ball naturally follows this law. However, because the winning difficulty of the two-color ball is much smaller than that of Powerball, it won the first prize in almost every issue, and won the first prize of 1 13 at most.
