Few months ago I was thinking about biggest jackpots and people who get it. At first it was just a thought, but then there were big amount of facts, so I mention, that I can’t figure it out, so I’ve decided to do it all in infographics way (it’s simple to make and it’s simple to understand). The reason is why I write here is to know – is this infographics useful and what advices you can give me to improve it. I appreciate any feedback.

It's not clear and frankly seems stupid that they aren't ranked by amount won. If there is a reason for that, state it.

I also would date each one.

I think you may be a bot.

The whole site seems to have been written by a bot.

For example,

Quote:

Good luck is an important but not the only factor that affects the success of gambling. There is another important element: the mathematical odds and probability. These factors clearly reflect the initial house advantage. This allows the advantage of a small percentage of gambling establishments to get huge stable profits in the long term.

The truth is luck is not the only element of gaming; skill also affects the games of chance like poker, for example. There is also an element of chance via the mathematical calculation of probabilities. The casino has an advantage according to the odds. The statistical advantage is summed up in the percentage of the casino, which is traditionally unchanged. A small percentage makes a huge difference over time, so the casino finds profit at the end of each day, for example.



If you try to get meaning out of it, you realize this is actually gibberish.

You've got me wondering if Bots can write the content for entire websites. Moderators, why not delete the link [just on the suspicion the info is inaccurate if nothing else] but see if anyone agrees about the bot thing in discussion.

The poker and lotto jackpot info is wrong. Was your data source for those written 15 years ago or something?

The World Series of Poker's payouts topped out in 2006. Jamie Gould won $12MM in that tournament. Gloria MacKenzie won $590.5 million on a powerball ticket on May 18, 2013.

Sneaky bots often use i'ts instead of it's.
