When the lottery started to take its first steps (1988 year), then it was called Lotto America and had the format 7/40. The ticket price was then 1 dollars. The minimum winnings were 5 dollars. The rest of the winnings were distributed depending on the prize pool, there were no fixed values.
The probability of becoming the owner of the main prize of the lottery was then 1 to 18 millions. Besides, a one-time payment of the entire prize amount did not exist then. Player, lottery winner, received my prize in parts.
