Who amongst us can say that we didn’t take a stab at the MegaMillions $656 million jackpot this past March? With such a staggering fortune to be won, few could say no to the possibility of becoming the owner of more than half a billion dollars!
B.U. was one of the many who watched the Mega Millions frenzy from the side-lines, but the experience inspired the UK resident to seek out American lotteries just a month later. After joining theLotter at the beginning of April, B.U.’s dream of millionaire status quickly became a reality when the lucky player won US Powerball’s second place $1 million prize after just five entries in the lottery 2012/32 draw on April 22nd!
During an interview after his windfall, the lucky winner confessed, “One of the things that got me interested is that I heard about the Mega Millions on the radio. That got me interested in American lotteries, and that’s what lead to me go on the internet to find out how to play.”
B.U. purchased his winning ticket with a Subscription entry to automatically enter the US Powerball’s exciting biweekly draws. Placing his faith in Lady Luck, B.U. used the Quick Pick option that randomly selected numbers for him– a decision he would certainly be thankful for, as five draws later these numbers turned him into a millionaire!
theLotter’s customer service team immediately contacted B.U. following the draw ,and the British player reported that it took some time to recover from the shock and accept the windfall was truly his! At first, “I thought it was a joke,” B.U. said. However, after the customer service team confirmed all the details the Sunday morning after the draw, B.U. was finally able to enjoy the win. In his words, “I was certainly woken up properly that day!”
However, B.U.’s numbers weren’t the only thing lucky, his timing was as well. In January 2012, US Powerball officials instituted important changes that would shape the amount of B.U.’s new wealth. Before January 15th, second place winners were only allotted $200,000.00; however, with the new set US Powerball prize category wins in place, B.U. was able to take home 5 times that amount with five correct guesses!
The only down side? Had B.U. taken one more step and clicked the Power Play multiply prizes option, he would have doubled his $1 million win to an even more impressive $2 million prize!
B.U. enjoyed a trip to the popular US vacation state, Florida, where the winner picked up his ticket from theLotter’s local office and claimed his winnings. Upon returning home, B.U. chose to consult a financial advisor in order to make sure that he and wife enjoy their new found wealth for as long as possible!
B.U. is not only a new winner but also a new lottery fan who doesn’t intend to let Lady Luck rest until he scores another big win! When asked what he would tell fellow lotto players, he said with a laugh, “not to give up because you never know when the big one will come. It will always come as a surprise!”

Inflation is both the rise in the prices of commodities and the fall in the purchasing power of currency over a period of time. However, unlike peanut butter, cars, or coffee, which all rose about 3-5% in price from 2011 to 2012, the lottery is somewhat immune to inflation. Why? Because while ticket prices stay constant, jackpot records continue to rise. Because lottery jackpots paid in annuity take inflation into account. Because investing in lottery tickets investment whose return promises to far exceed the cost of playing.
Inflation is measured by calculating the rate of increase of a price index. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) tracks prices of goods and services regularly purchased by the average consumer. To find the rate of inflation, calculate the percentage of change in the price over a set period of time.
Inflation = (CPIthis year – CPIlast year/CPIlast year) × 100
The power of a currency has a direct influence on the formula. While $1 can no longer buy a dozen eggs, it can still fund a lottery ticket! Even more, with lottery jackpots constantly working to break their own records, lottery tickets are always a smart investment. (more…)

Scooping a jackpot with a lottery ticket online is amongst the best feelings in the world.
Individuals often make plans about what they would do with the significant sums of money they can expect to get if they are lucky enough to hit the jackpot.
In addition to turning players into millionaires, almost all lotteries give a portion of their funds to communal charities and organisations.
This means that, apart from making people’s wildest dreams come true by creating millionaires, various good causes also benefit from the generosity showcased by the draws.
Olympic Games
The UK is due to host the Olympic Games later in the year and National Lottery and EuroMillions money has helped to fund a number of the projects.
Some £1.8 billion has been handed over to part-finance the Olympic Park and seven other facilities that will be used during the Games, including the Aquatics Centre and the VeloPark.
A number of community-based programmes have also been put in place across the five London-based Olympic host boroughs to encourage more kids to get involved in sport.
On top of this, £16.6 million has been given over to support the Cultural Olympiad, which seeks to showcase the UK’s arts and culture scene. (more…)

In general, Colorado and Turkey are unlikely neighbors, and a lottery alliance seems even more unlikely. Colorado is a land-locked mountainous state in the Western half the United States, and Turkey is a country that links Europe and Asia, surrounded by three different seas – there aren’t any direct flights between the two places! However, when it comes to theLotter’s theSmart list of the lottery tickets online that currently offer players the best cost-benefit ratio, Colorado and Turkey’s lotteries are cozying up in the top half of the rankings.
It is no surprise that the Colorado Lotto ranks #5 on theSmart. Boasting a traditional pick-six lottery structure, four prize divisions and a small 42-number guess range, the lottery distributes prizes to 1 in every 35 tickets! Now, with a $5.9 million current jackpot, the lottery is a great pick for participants looking to spend their buck wisely. With no rollover cap, this jackpot is capable of surpassing its $27 million jackpot record, set in 1992.
The Colorado Lotto is stuck in the middle of a proverbial Turkey sandwich, with Turkey Lotto 6/49 in the #2 spot and the Turkey Lotto 6/54 in the #6 spot on theSmart list. The current Turkey Lotto 6/49 jackpot of $2.4 million is the highest it has been since November, 2010. Even though the lottery’s jackpots are not the largest in the industry, thanks to its phenomenal winning odds, Turkey Lotto 6/49 awards jackpots on a regular basis. The lottery only allows for three consecutive rollovers, after which the jackpot is distributed among the secondary prize winners. If the current jackpot remains unclaimed in the upcoming 2012/810 draw, one more rollover will make the jackpot funds trickle down to the three secondary prize divisions.
Positioned right under the Colorado Lotto, Turkey’s Super Lotto 6/54 is showing off its versatility as the Turkish lottery with the jackpot record and great winning odds. The Turkey Super Lotto 6/54 starts at about $500,000 and can grow without a jackpot cap, leading to big prizes like $19.4 million in 2009. After only 4 rollovers, the jackpot has already reached $3.1 million, which is proof of the lottery’s generous rollover policy, making huge leaps in between draws. If Super Lotto 6/54 keeps up its momentum, it will climb the ranks of theSmart and maybe even earn a spot on theBig.
At a first glance, the Colorado Lotto and Turkey’s combo seems anything but smart. However, the pair share a competitive cost-benefit ratio and impressive jackpots, proving that these draws have more in common than people think. Sample the world’s smartest picks at theLotter and find out why smart doesn’t always look like what you expected!

How does a $1 million Powerball Lottery USA prize sound? Ask theLotter’s latest lotto millionaire, B.U. from the UK. B.U. successfully matched the five main numbers (6, 8, 20, 42, and 51) in the April 21st 2012/32 Powerball draw and won the lottery’s $1 million second prize. With a correct Powerball additional number, B.U. would have taken home the $152 million jackpot!
theLotter’s latest millionaire is brand new to the site, purchasing his first lottery ticket on April 2nd––just a few weeks before his windfall! B.U. played it smart from the start and opted for a Powerball Subscription package, which automatically entered him into every consecutive draw to ensure that he never missed a chance to win. And sure enough, the player found a winning opportunity just around the corner, after only five Powerball draws.
As part of a Subscription package, customers receive every 10th ticket free! So in addition to a $1 million prize, B.U. will also be receiving free lottery tickets online as part of his Subscription purchase exclusively from theLotter.
The Powerball lottery results from the 2012/32 draw produced eight 2nd prize winners, including theLotter’s lucky player. However, there is no doubt that B.U. was the first 2nd prize winner to learn of his big win. theLotter’s free winning SMS winning alert and email system kicked into high gear just moments after the results were released. In addition, B.U. received an immediate phone call from theLotter’s customer service team to arrange the next steps of theLotter’s streamlined prize collection process.
Mere weeks after the draw, B.U. flew to Florida, courtesy of theLotter, to meet theLotter’s headquarters’ representative, receive the winning ticket, and collect his $1 million prize from the Florida Powerball lottery office with the help of theLotter’s local lottery experts.
This $1 million win is the latest in a series of impressive prizes for theLotter’s customers this year which includes a $250,000 2nd place Mega Millions win in March 2012, making theLotter’s 10th year of reliable and safe online lottery services a banner year indeed!

Winning the lottery is something that lotto fans from around the world contemplate on a regular basis, with ideas of purchasing items such as yachts and sports cars never far from the back of their minds.
Although the majority of people dream of taking home the jackpot so they can live out their days in financial security, the reality is that they could do so quite easily with a number of secondary prizes.
Some of the world’s most well-known draws offer people the chance to claim substantial sums with their lottery ticket that could result in them enjoying high winnings, with a selection of them available to purchase playing the lottery online.
The USA Powerball is just one of the draws providing individuals with the chance to win a substantial sum without claiming the jackpot. Players who match five balls without the famous powerball could claim $10,000, or $40,000 if they purchase their ticket with Power Play.
With 13 prize categories in total, the EuroMillions is another game that offers better odds on its smaller prizes than for the jackpot. Those who match five main and one lucky star number – rather than the two required to claim the jackpot – could enjoy up to £80,505.
This is also the case with the UK’s Thunderball draw, which offers individuals the best chance of winning up to £500,000 on a £1 National Lottery game. With this draw, the top prize remains fixed and never has to be shared between winners – with players able to take home massive prizes by simple selecting five main numbers between one to 39 and a single Thunderball from one to 14.
Similarly, on May 18th, the UK Millionaire Raffle will see 18 lucky players claim £1 million by simply purchasing a EuroMillions ticket for the regular draw.
One lucky winner who managed to scoop a substantial sum in secondary prizes did so playing the Arizona Lottery last month, with the unnamed player claiming six $1 million sums after purchasing a lottery ticket at the QuickTrip store in Glendale, Arizona.
The six wins bring the state’s count of $1 million second prize Powerball wins to a total of ten since January 2012, with individuals residing in Tuscon, Phoenix and Fort Mohave also winning big.
Fans of online lottery games can play the USA Powerball online on theLotter to be in with a chance of winning a selection of secondary prizes.

Lottery funding supports vital work around the world, with even distant lands in need of assistance receiving crucial financial backing to support communities, families and children.
The Big Lottery Fund is one of the UK’s lotto money distribution bodies, operating to provide money to drive projects both in Great Britain and around the world.
One of its latest endeavours is to build a boat classroom in two of the most disadvantaged countries in the world -Bangladesh and Myanmar.
This week, life-saving health and education organisations in the south-Asian nations were granted over £1.2 million in funding from the Big Lottery Fund’s International Communities programme, which supports efforts to tackle poverty and deprivation.
In Bangladesh, WaterAid has been awarded £376,930 of lotto financing to provide access to fresh water, sanitation and hygiene services in the Khuna region, with this coastal area being particularly prone to storms and cyclones, cutting people off from fresh water and putting lives in danger.
Some 121,000 adults and children will benefit from the support of the Big Lottery Fund, while 12 cyclone shelters will be upgraded in the area to ensure women and disabled people are protected.
Furthermore, the Bangladeshi schoolchildren will benefit from two boat classrooms that are being built by Learning For Life UK with the help of £473,589 in lotto financing.
The vessels will be used by the 15 villages that are isolated by flooding during the nine-month monsoon season, providing lessons five days a week and library facilities.
Finally, Save the Children has been given £440,000 to improve maternal and newborn health services in 130 villages in Myanmar- formerly Burma.
The region has the highest mortality rates for under-fives in South East Asia and the lotto funding will be used to train 260 community health volunteers in nutrition, early illness detection and maternal and newborn care.
Also, medical supplies will be provided to support this work.
Big Lottery Fund chief executive officer Peter Wanless said: “The funding announced today will literally save lives by providing disadvantaged communities with vital health and education services that most people would simply take for granted.”
He added that thanks to the lottery money people from these countries “face a brighter future … and we are proud to be able to support them”.

New Zealand is a small country comprised of islands that together are roughly the same size as the US state of Colorado… So exactly how is it that this tiny country can create such massive lottery pay-outs? These beautiful maintained hills are home to more than beautiful scenery as the New Zealand Powerball lottery has produced more than NZ$432 million in winnings since it was introduced in 2001.
While the Kiwi’s favourite lottery may have started by basing its format on the US Powerball, the New Zealand Powerball has truly kept the game its own by offering a much smaller Powerball matrix than that of the US lottery. The US Powerball matrix for the additional number is 1-39, while the New Zealand Powerball matrix for the additional number is only 1-10, whnich seriously increases player’s possibilities of taking home one of the prizes.
Perhaps the country’s substantial tourist population helps back the millions it pays out to winners, as the many coastal plains are a popular vacationing spot and hopeful millionaires are quick to grab their tickets.
While we may not be able to decipher exactly how it is that a country with a mere 3.8 million population is able to create lottery jackpots that rival some of the biggest countries lotteries, lottery fans in the know all can agree that the New Zealand Powerball is one worth taking note of.
The citizenship size may be small, but they are more than capable of putting the wins to good use; as of early 2012 more that NZ$2.8 billion have gone to needy New Zealand Organisations from lottery proceeds. With a record jackpot of NZ$30 million in 2008, players from across the globe can rest assured their jackpots will not only be worth the play, but that they are helping play for a ‘good cause’ as well!

Once lotto fans grow more familiar with the different types of lottery games, they may start to notice the difference between playing draws that offer juicy jackpots and those that come with opportunistic odds.
But the million Dollar question has to be, which of these lotteries is better?
Juicy jackpots
There have been some very juicy jackpots up for grabs in recent weeks and months, with the most famous of all of these being the record-smashing USA Mega Millions $650 million payout landed by ticketholders in Illinois, Maryland and Kansas in April.
The hype surrounding this game had lotto fans from every continent on the edge of their seats and as a result of the enthusiasm and media coverage the game got, the jackpot continued to climb to astronomical heights.
Now, the thrill might be just why some lottery players love to enter these big draws, but for the majority, they buy tickets because they want that massive payout.
Indeed, the size of the payout makes the petty cash used to buy the lottery ticket seem like an investment no-brainer, plus it is fun getting involved in the most famous draws and become part of the lottery community and discussion.
Fans who like to play for gargantuan prizes could do well to visit theBig list on theLotter, which is a table that calculates what the largest top payouts are in upcoming lottery draws.
Opportunistic odds
Going down the opportunistic odds route is a savvy lotto fan’s game.
By choosing games that present better odds than others, a player could find themselves taking home cash prizes, with a bit of luck.
It is a lotto fact that some games have better odds than others. For example, the Italian SuperEnalotto has six main numbers in play ranging from 1-90, while the Australia Saturday Lotto has six main numbers ranging from 1-45, giving the latter better odds.
However, the games with better odds invariably lead to fewer rollovers, which means the payouts for the jackpot and secondary prizes can be smaller.
On theLotter, theSmart list compiles odds, the price of an entry and the size of a jackpot to make a table of the draws savvy lotto fans should be getting involved in – which might be perfect for opportunistic odds enthusiasts.

Lotto winners can fly in style. Source: Via Robbreport.com
For most of us, the way exceptionally wealthy people run their lives is a matter of pure speculation – but a lucky few ordinary folk could get the opportunity to experience this existence first-hand if they win millions with a lucky lottery online ticket purchase.
There is so much more to the high life than fast cars and five-star hotels and a window into this different dimension where money is no object has been provided by the Robb Report, a global luxury resource.
The Robb Report is an up-to-date website informing the wealthiest consumers of what they should be spending their money on in order to stay with the times and lottery winners who want to fit in immediately with their local jet set could do well to use it for research before making a big ticket purchase.
Planes, trains and automobiles
A clear sign that an individual has a stuffed wallet and bank account is that their transport of choice stops traffic.
The Robb Report recommends the Maserati 2013 Gran Turismo Sport Coupe and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS for uber-rich petrol heads.
And for jaunts a little further afield, what better way to see the world than out the window of a Piaggio Aero P.180 Avanti II private jet? Or perhaps a Bell Helicopter? Or a Protector Tauranga 38 twin-cabin yacht?
A touch of class
Those with good taste know that it is a good idea – and a great demonstration of how wealthy you are – to invest in some fine art, to prove it is just as much about class as it is bling.
So, lottery winners looking to sniff out a hot sculpture might want to go to the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York to check out pieces for sale by French artists Claude and Franc Lalanne, or perhaps place a bid for something at an upcoming Sotheby’s or Christie’s auction.
Location, location, location
Finally, where does a multi-millionaire lotto winner spend their free time?
According to the Robb Report, luxurious retreats to the Eco Villa at Six Senses Soneva Kiri inThailand is an excellent choice – and the environmentally-friendly resort could help travellers reduce their carbon footprints after the private jet flight.

As lottery prizes go, $1 million for a second-tier payout is one of the best runner-up windfalls going – and a single player fromArizona is lucky enough to claim this sum no fewer than six times from a single draw.
Six lotto tickets were purchased in Arizona that matched the numbers drawn on April 25th entitling them to the cool $1 million second prize and, according to the Arizona Lottery, the $6 million in cash has now been claimed by just one person.
All six €1 million winning tickets were purchased by an individual from Glendale, which is located on the outskirts of Phoenix.
The individual has chosen to keep their identity a secret and probably opted to bide their time over these past few days as they decided how to put their fortune to good use.
This time last year, somebody with six second-tier prize-winning USA Powerball tickets would only have taken home $1.5 million, because before changes that were implemented in January this year, the runner-up payout was fixed at $250,000.
Now, a second prize is worth $1 million – and the Arizonian lottery fan could have pocketed an even larger windfall than this if they had opted for the Power Play multiplier on all their winning tickets, which would have inflated the second prize to $2 million – giving them $12 million in total.
Assistant director of budget, products and communications for the Arizona Lottery Karen Bach said: “It was incredible for Arizona to have six $1 million second prize Powerball wins in one night and the excitement around the winning tickets has had everyone buzzing.”
She added that Arizona comes second nationally for the state with the most second-prize USA Powerball winners and since the new-look lotto launched in January, the region expects to have more lotto-made millionaires than ever before.
The next USA Powerball lotto draw will take place on Saturday (May 12th) and fans can play the lottery online on theLotter.
If they strike lucky like the Arizonian Powerball fan, they too could take home a cool $1 million second-tier prize or – if they win the jackpot – an $80,000 fortune.

The lottery isn’t just fun to win, it’s fun to enter! Now in its eighth draw, EuroJackpot is still seeking its first millionaire, and with € 19,000,000 up for grabs this week, Friday’s jackpot drawing could be monumental.
EuroMillions has solidified its reputation as a jackpot machine in 2012, handing out multi-million Euro prizes left and right. Since January 1, EuroMillions has developed a pattern of delivering a jackpot win approximately every 3 draws. With the last EuroMillions € 44.4 million jackpot claimed on April 27th, the lottery is overdue to crown the 11th EuroMillions winner of 2012.
When it comes to lotteries, Europeans do it right, and we should follow their example and make the lotto numbers for Friday a part of weekend plans. After all, Eurojackpot and EuroMillions prizes are tax-free, so that even lucky lottery winners can start the weekend with a load off their minds! In addition to the jackpot, EuroMillions offers 12 secondary prize categories, distributing thousands every draw on top of its world-famous jackpots. EuroJackpot follows close behind the continent’s most successful multi-country lottery with 11 non-jackpot prizes for players to win.
In anticipation of EuroJackpot’s eighth draw tomorrow night, theLotter is offering a 10% discount on all one-time entries! Enjoy the weekend European style—with extra savings and some of the world’s best lottery prizes!

Starting in 2010, Mega Millions and Powerball lotteries painted the United States map red and yellow as states began offering both multi-state national lotteries simultaneously. However, two states opted not to offer both Powerball and Mega Millions, California and Florida. California is the only Mega Millions member that does not offer Powerball and Florida is the only Powerball member that does not offer Mega Millions. Perhaps the reason is because both California and Florida have impressive state lotteries whose huge jackpots can hold their own against the American giants.
California is the Golden State. It has the Golden Gate Bridge, the Golden Bears college football, and the Gold Rush of 1848. This state sparkles with 14 karat gold, the kind of stuff spilling over the leprechaun’s pot at the end of the rainbow, or in the case, a giant $15 million California Super Lotto jackpot. In a state coated in one of the most valuable metals on earth, it is no wonder that its state lottery distributed massive jackpots like $193 million in 2002 and $72 in 2007. (more…)
