In the United States there is a person who started 2024 by becoming a millionaire: on Monday 1 January he won the Powerball first prize 842 million dollars.
It is the game’s tenth largest prize since its creation in 1992. Additionally, it is the first to be awarded in the new year.
The winning numbers were 12, 21, 42, 44 and 49 with a red Powerball 1.
The winner purchased the ticket at a grocery store Food Castle, in Grand Blanc, Michigan. You will be able to choose between collecting the amount in 30 intervals over 29 years or a single payment of a sum of $425.2 million.
It is worth mentioning that on October 11, a Californian won a prize of 1.765 million.
What do the winning Powerball numbers mean in Argentina?
Obviously, the winner of the 842 million did not take into account the Argentine lottery dream table, but let’s assume so. In the United States, 14 is not the drunk or 15 the “pretty girl.” The table of correlations between dreams and numbers is popular in Argentina and Italy, the country from which it comes.
But let’s imagine. If the winner of the Michigan Powerball had answered the Argentine dreams, the winning numbers would be the corresponding ones “soldier” (12), the “women” (21), the “jewelry store” (42), the “prison” (44) and the “meat” (49).
This tradition of numbers and dreams is typical of the Rio de la Plata pool and derives from the Neapolitan Smorfia. The correlation is attributed to San Cono.
The Napolitana Smorfia is the most used dream book. It is made up of a series of 90 numbers that correspond to words, objects and names, which through fairly precise coding provides a different number depending on the context.
The name “smorfia” comes from Morpheus, god of sleep in ancient Greece. The grimace is linked to Naples (Italy) as it is a place with a long tradition of affection for the lottery.
How to play Powerball?
Powerball is one of the lottery options with the most results and the most attractive in the United States. It is played every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states of the American Union, except Alabama, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, Washington, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Players in the United States have up to three alternatives for purchasing Powerball tickets. They can go to a physical business to cast their ballot or use the official app and website if available in their state.
To play, you have to choose 5 numbers between 1 and 69. And then, Powerball between 1 and 26. The winner, of course, is the one who matches all 6 numbers, which is not easy.
