The incident of 433 people winning the lottery jackpot in the Philippines made mathematicians dizzy.

After 433 people won the jackpot in a single lottery in the Philippines, on the one hand, the surprise is being expressed, but there are also demands for an investigation in this regard. According to local media, this is the largest number of winners of the Grand Lotto's top prize. Last week's jackpot prize was 236 million pesos (US$4 million) and the winning number was a series of numbers that were all divisible by nine. In the Philippines, Senate opposition leader Coco Pimentel has called for an investigation into the 'suspicious' results. an expert told the BBC that if 100 million people played the lottery, the probability of that many people winning is one of the numbers formed by adding 1224 zeros in a row.

 guido David professor of mathematics at the University of the Philippines said: 'this number is so big that I don't even know its name.  the number of molecules in the universe we have seen is 80 zeros grand lotto participants have to pick six numbers from one to 55.  to win the jackpot, a player must match all six numbers drawn by the lottery operatococo pPimentelcalled for an investigation into the unusual lottery results, saying, "these lottery games are approved by the Republic of the Philippines so we have to maintain and protect the integrity of these games."On Sunday, the Philippines Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager of the lottery's organizer, Melquids Robles, said there were no irregularities.  He said that people in the Philippines have a habit of betting on consecutive numbers.

 "Many people always play the same numbers," Robles told a news conference.  Not only is it good to be faithful to your husbands and wives, but also to your numbers. The PCSO also shared photos and videos of people receiving their prizes in Mandaluyong City, near the capital Manila. One man who won said: 'I've been betting on patterns of nines, eights, sevens, and sixes for years and I'm glad I won.' Terrence Tau, a mathematics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, told the BBC that it was rare for a single winning lottery number to be in this series. But he said that 'there are hundreds of lotteries around the world every day and statistically it would not be surprising if every few decades one of these lotteries came out in such an unusual pattern.'
