:: Amazing Internet ::

There is only one small website in the top 20 list of Media Metrix.
Can you guess why a small website gets 13,479,000 visitors in one month?

See how amazing the Internet is:

Grab.com is a website that let you play lottery for free. Choose 6 numbers, click a banner, and you may win. There are some successful websites that are based on the same principle. Yet, Grab.com is far more successful than any of them.

The reason for this website's huge success is the winning prize. The winner
of Grab.com lottery is promised to receive 1 billion dollars.

If you are smarter than the 13,479,000 monthly visitors, you may ask yourself: How could Grab.com pay so much money? And then you conclude: They can't. And you're right.

If someone wins, Grab.com will be closed. But calculate the chances, and you will find out that probably no one will ever win.
