Microsoft is offering three new programs to encourage and compensate researchers who find vulnerabilities in the company’s software.

The programs include a $100,000 payout for mitigation-bypass vulnerabilities uncovered in its software products, a $50,000 payout on top of this for a solution that will fix the vulnerability, and $11,000 for any bugs found in the preview release of its upcoming Internet Explorer 11 browser software.

There is probably better odds at winning with Microsoft than winning the lottery. Bugs are always present. Winning the lottery is a rare event, unfortunately.
