In the US Powerball lottery, where there were no winners 38 times, in the 39th time, the winner came out and won a prize of over 1 trillion won.
The first-place lottery ticket was sold at a small convenience store in Los Angeles, where the low-income class is concentrated, and the identity of the winner has not yet been released.

They don’t carry anything to pay for, most of them have a Powerball ticket in their hand.
It’s a place where the winners have already come out several times, so it looks like it’s full of expectations.

The winner of the 38th draw, which was unknown, came from a small convenience store in LA as a result of the 39th lottery.

The accumulated prize money is 1.08 billion dollars, a whopping 1.4 trillion won in our money.
It is the 3rd largest in Powerball history and the 6th largest in US lottery history.
The identity of the main character who bought the first prize lottery ticket has not yet been revealed.
The winner must choose whether to split the total amount over 29 years or to take a lump sum of approximately KRW 700 billion.

The winner as well as the convenience store that sold the first-place lottery ticket also suffered a windfall.
This is because the lottery organization pays a celebration of 1 million dollars, 1.27 billion won in our money.
