A Maths Professor won a $100,000 on the powerball lottery immediately after giving a maths lecture on the probability of winning the lottery.
The news comes after a syndicate of 20 workers at a manufacturing industry in the U.S share the $420m powerball lottery, with each sharing approximately £20m each.
Professor Nicholas Kapoor of Monroe, was giving a lecture to students on probability and odds, illustrating his lecture with the Powerball® as a real life example explaining the odds of winning. “Somebody is going to win,” the professor told his class. Two days later, Kapoor was a winner of a $100,000 Powerball ticket.
This was an amazing demonstration of the probability theory and just how incredibly it could change a winner’s life.The Powerball lottery in the U,S has produced many incredibly rich winners.An incredibly happy Kapoor told lottery officials:
“The professor side of me sticks to the numbers—but the winner in me says, ‘It’s Luck,’” a The maths professors win does not measure up to any of the crazy wins won by many in the U.S, but the win is still big and shows just how one moment can transform the life of anybody.
Lottery wins have not always turned out well for winners but it is still an experience many would give anything for. His winning ticket was sold at Huntington Center Gulf located on 20 Huntington Street in Shelton.
Now the professor can go back to his class and celebrate his powerball win with his students. Kapoor will do well to offer $10,000 out of his win in prizes to whoever makes the biggest progress in maths, rewarding first the biggest progress made by any of his struggling maths students, then perhaps a separate prize for any student who progresses beyond the current best maths student in his class.
The maths professor will be on a high for a while, he may struggle to concentrate teaching maths. He will have many with their hands out, but Kapoor will have to be careful because $100,000 is not $100m. If Kapoor is unwise, it will disappear quickly.
professor Kapoor may need a replacement teacher for a while in order to allow him some time to celebrate his big win. Kapoor’s win shows that probability probably has a degree of consciousness that surpasses even the deepest understanding of maths professors. It probably has a sense of humour too. This maths professor will have a great Christmas without any doubt. What a lucky man he is!
