However, the different betting sites have a list of the most recognized figures who were postulated to the reward and, based on that, they evaluate the possibilities of each candidate and define how much they will pay each one of those who guess the chosen one.

For this year, who heads the list of possible winners is the ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskywhich was proposed by the European Parliament in recognition of the task it had to face in the face of invasion of russia. However, some consider that it is unlikely to happen, since it is still in the armed conflict.
