Senior reporter Lee Jin-Qi on July 1, 2024, at 2:50 AM, the Powerball Dragon Boat Festival promotion is coming to an end, having awarded 88 sets of 1 million NT dollars with 12 sets left, which will continue until this Friday (7/5), with remaining prize money divided among all winning sets. If a single ticket wins, there's a chance to take home an additional 10 million NT dollars before taxes. With an estimated sales amount of 100 to 110 million NT dollars in the latest draw, there might be 1-3 winning sets; 10 sets of 1 million NT dollars each could be added in the final draw this Friday, all distributed evenly among winning sets. If one set wins alone, they could each get 10 million NT dollars, 10 times the original prize. With 2 winning sets, each can take 5 million NT dollars; if each of these sets has 5 winning tickets, they will split 5 million NT dollars each, meaning each winning ticket will get 1 million NT dollars. During the Dragon Boat Festival promotion from May 21st, Powerball had 5 jackpot winners in the 12 draws made, creating 5 new millionaires. Compared to the average of 1 jackpot winner every 6 draws in previous years, this promotion has seen 1 millionaire winner every week. Powerball statistics show that during the 10-year period of the fourth Welfare Lottery (2014-2023), out of 1112 draws, 193 jackpots were won, approximately 1 jackpot every 3 weeks, making it a millionaire-making machine. This year, the God of Wealth seems to be on people's side as there were 17 jackpot winners out of 65 draws in the first half of the year, averaging 1 jackpot every 4 draws. During the Dragon Boat Festival promotion, in 12 draws from May 21 to June 28, there were 5 jackpot winners, faster than before, with 1 new millionaire winner each week.
