Romanian mathematician uses a secret formula to win the lottery 14 times

According to statistics, the chance of a person being hit by lightning is 4 times higher than winning a jackpot. But there is one person who has won the jackpot number 14 times (which has never been hit by lightning) and this is his "secret".

It seems that every probability is incorrect for Stefan Mandel , an Australian and Romanian economist and mathematician. Currently, with 14 winning jackpot numbers, Mandel has a peaceful life in a tropical island.

Two of Mandel's first winning numbers were in Romania when he was making money to take his wife and children abroad. At that time, his salary was only 88 USD per month.

The lottery money was used by Mandel to bring his family to Israel before settling in to Australia. In the land of kangaroos, Mandel wins the jackpot again 12 times.

14 winning jackpot numbers helped Mandel to have a peaceful life in a tropical island.

Many jackpot winners have spent all their prizes by buying luxury houses, expensive supercars, gambling or getting into lawsuits. Robert Pagliarini, a financial planner, shared that in order to ensure that no return to the white-collar status, the jackpot winner should hire " financial support trio " to help them plan spending in future.

"The trio consists of a lawyer, a tax expert and a financial advisor," Pagliarini said. "They are responsible for helping you make smart financial decisions and planning for the future. They can also protect you from the media and the bonus sharing requirements from others."

According to Pagliarini, the most important thing you need to do to avoid being swept away by the typhoon hit is to stay calm and focus on a long-term plan with practical financial plans.

With Mandel, after 14 winning jackpots, he aims to win the jackpot of Virginia Lottery, where the winning rate is very low but the prize is huge. However, when applying his strategy to the Virginia Lottery lottery system, Mandel was arrested and sentenced to 20 months in Israel. After that, Mandel decided to retire, enjoying comfort at Vanuatu, an island nation in the South Pacific, famous for its volcanic mountains and majestic waterfalls.

In the previous 14 winning times, Mandel's plan was legal but new laws in the US and Australia brought this behavior to the list of prohibited ones. Currently, the two main components of Mandel's formula are the purchase of bulk tickets and the current home ticket printing has been banned.

Currently, the two main components in Mandel's formula have been banned.

Here are the 6 steps in the formula that Mandel used to earn a lot of money from the lottery:

  1. Calculate the total number of possible combinations. (For example, with the lottery that requires you to choose 6 numbers from 1 to 40, it means 3,838,380 combinations).
  2. Find the place where the lottery has a jackpot greater than three times or more than the total purchase amount for all combinations.
  3. Mobilize enough money to buy all combinations. (Mandel has joined with 2,524 investors to "attack" the Virginia lottery).
  4. Print out millions of tickets with each combination. (This was once considered legal but now you can only buy tickets at the ticket shop).
  5. Provide tickets for authorized lottery agents.
  6. Win prizes and don't forget to give money to investors. (When winning a 1.3 million US dollar jackpot in 1987, Mandel paid most of it to investors and left only 97,000 USD for him).

In Vietnam, Mandel's method is not profitable when applied to the traditional lottery system because the total amount of tickets purchased is double the value of all prizes collected.

When applied to Vietlott 6/45 lottery, even if it mobilizes 81 billion VND to buy the entire ticket, you cannot grasp all the tickets because you must buy tickets directly from the store system. The method of self-printing tickets like Mandel is not considered legal in Vietnam nor in most other countries.

In other words, at the present time, Mandel's method cannot be applied in most countries , not only Vietnam, the US and Australia.
