Ifergan took the case to court where the judge dismissed the unlucky punter, even though Ifergan was only claiming half the winnings. Here’s what happened. He bought two Super 7 lottery tickets at 8.59pm for the May 23rd, 2008 jackpot. While one ticket printed out before the clock struck the 9.00pm deadline, the other ticket, the one that won the jackpot, printed out just after the 9.00pm deadline. After spending years on the case and racking up at least $80,000 in legal fees, Ifergan told reporters that, “Yes, it cost me a lot of money, but it also consumed me for seven years.” Some of the most volatile fluctuations in recent history have been observed in the relatively new crypto currency markets.
In the last quarter of 2017, Bitcoin reached a high of almost $20,000, only to slump again by 30% at the end of the year. It has continued dropping at an alarming rate in the first quarter of 2018, reaching a low of $7,000 in April. Harvard educated Cameron and Tyler Winkelvoss, dubbed the Bitcoin twins, would have felt a hit towards the end of 2017. The New York Times estimated their worth to be $1.3 billion. The pair bought 1 percent of all Bitcoins, that’s 120,000 coins in 2012, when one coin cost less than $10. Those coins would have been worth $3.6 billion last year, but now only $840 million. In April of 2013, Bitcoin dropped 71% overnight, tumbling from $233 to $67, meaning the twins would have lost $20 million in a matter of hours and minutes, while tucked away in their respective beds. Despite the coin’s volatility, the twins are firm believers in the technology, and have held on through thick and thin, a tactic that has thus far served them very well.
