Jackpot!

Lotto gamblers all over the country go crazy for the 38.000.000 Euro jackpot. Lotto is a lottery quite popular in Germany: the player bets on 6 numbers out of 49, pays for it and hopes that a minimum of 3 of her numbers will be drawn on saturday evening. The more numbers fit, the more he wins.

Usually, 'just' a few million bucks may be won by 6 fitting numbers, where additionally one of these numbers has to be the so called Superzahl being drawn as well. But the last 11 weeks, nobody succeeded and the jackpot raised such high.

I guess the one who wins this big amount of paying units can build her own town twenty-thousand leagues under the sea, or something. Seen stochastically, the chance of being stroke by lightning is bigger than to be the lucky guy.
