Fans of big-prize lottery draws such as Italian SuperEnalotto and EuroMillions might already have a plan in their head as to where their jackpot money will go when their lucky numbers come through.
One expert has recommended, however, that fortunate lotto fans do not rush into the millionaire lifestyle, advising those who land an enormous windfall to stay level-headed.
Speaking to the Calgary Herald, Michael Whitty, a lawyer who specialises in estate planning and taxation with Vedder Price in Chicago, said he has provided guidance for clients who have won massive payouts playing the lottery in the past.
“My best advice to the lottery winners is three things – take it slow, keep it quiet and get a good financial adviser,” the legal professional suggested.
One of the areas in which lotto winners may need help is with the media attention that comes with such a prize.
Illinois Lottery spokesman Mike Lang said there are officials available to help people through the process and going public can yield some good things for the lucky lotto fan.
“Once they do the publicity and press conference and things, they look back on it pretty fondly,” he commented.
Everybody’s plans for what they want to do with their lottery finances are unique, but having a relaxed approach if they scoop a jackpot could be a wiser move overall.
To make these dreams come true, lottery fans can play their favourite draws at theLotter, where they are alerted if their luck comes in.

Welcome to the first blog in our new series of lotto terms, a feature that aims to explain to players what some lottery jargon really means.
Lotto fans may already be familiar with the word rollover, but to those who do not know, this is when games become even more exciting and jackpots start to climb even higher.
A rollover is when a top prize is not won after a draw because no lottery tickets had numbers matching all of the balls drawn in the game.
As a result, the jackpot rolls over to the next game, increasing the payout when somebody does strike lucky with their numbers.
Rollovers are a thrill for many lotto fans and some prizes can keep on growing for months on end, creating record-smashing jackpots when they are finally won.
This year, the EuroMillions saw its largest-ever prize go to Christine and Colin Weird of Largs in Scotland.
The couple won the coveted €185 million jackpot in July after 14 rollovers and were lucky they nabbed it when they did,
because EuroMillions officials were going to split the money between second-tier winners if nobody’s luck came in.
Another game that is popular thanks to its rollovers is Italian SuperEnalotto, which sees its jackpots climb week upon week owing to having 90 balls in play – which may also tempt those who love the excitement a rollover causes.

Fans of Canadian lotteries such as Canada Lotto 649 may be interested to hear that one player did not realise he had his winning lotto ticket pinned to the fridge for the school summer holiday period.
Craig Henshaw, a teacher from Toronto, admitted that he bought his usual lottery ticket and then promptly forgot about it, leaving to go on a trip to Europe a few days later.
It was only when the new school term began that he realised he ought to check his slip, which was when he discovered he was the winner of Can$21 million.
“I had no idea I had Can$21 million sitting on my fridge at home. I wouldn’t have been living out of a backpack for two months if I’d known,” Mr Henshaw joked.
As for his winnings, the lottery enthusiast has said he will put some of it towards his nephews’ and nieces’ college education and promised that after a break he would carry on teaching.
Lottery fans can play Canada Lotto 649 on Saturday (October 15th) to be in with a chance of winning Can$ 12 million.

In the wake of the happy news that 16 supermarket workers from Greater Manchester in the UK won £430,000 apiece playing UK National Lottery, one newspaper has asked its readers whether or not they would retire after such a windfall.
The Manchester Evening News calculated that a prize of this size could last 21.5 years if the player gave themselves an annual income of £20,000, while putting this sum in the bank could earn interest of around £1,118 per month.
Some readers claimed they would hand in their notice in a heartbeat if their lottery numbers came through for them, but many were not interested in a life of leisure.
Jan 2 commented that if she was in her 20s or 30s then she would carry on working, but at her age she would definitely retire.
And UK National Lottery fans may have to make this tricky decision tomorrow (October 12th) if their lotto numbers come through and they take home the £9.3 million jackpot.

Lottery fans who love to play games from the southern hemisphere such as New Zealand Powerball may be interested to hear that a winning ticket was bought in Blenheim last week, entitling a lucky lotto lover to a fistful of cash.
According to the Marlborough Press, the second-tier prize was won by a total of 16 players, which means the unclaimed ticket holder is now NZD 17,220 richer.
Winning lotto slips were sold across the country and NZ Lotteries’ chief executive Todd McLeay has urged all lottery fans to check their tickets and write their name on the back of it if they think they are entitled to a payout.
Indeed, he added that one winner from Rotorua more than tripled their winnings after selecting the Powerball number, increasing their prize to NZD 59,015.
The next New Zealand Powerball draw will take place on Saturday October 15th and lotto fans could be in with a chance of scooping a juicy NZD 10 million jackpot if their numbers are drawn.

Lottery fans who win big playing their favourite online lotto game have been recommended to take some time out after their luck comes in, because a huge windfall needs time and consideration.
Piya Khanna, executive coach and founder of Changetosucceed.com, claimed that it is best to book at least one week off work rather than hand in one’s notice immediately, because this time can be used to really think about what is important.
“It’s very telling that the first thing people think of when they come into a large sum of money is what can they buy,” she stated.
Rather than splashing the cash like the money is burning a hole in their pocket, Ms Khanna recommends a change of mindset and not wasting the money on frivolities that will only give temporary gratification, such as toys and cars.
Earlier this year, Europe’s wealthiest ever lottery winners Christine and Colin Weir of Scotland jetted to the Canary Islands in the wake of their lotto success, where they may have acclimatised to their €185 million EuroMillions prize.

Lotto fans keen for a chance of winning a EuroMillions jackpot may have dreams of splashing some of that lovely cash on a holiday or a flashy new car – but some may be more interested in using it to show off to the neighbours.
This is according to life and business coach Rasheed Ogunlaru of Rasaru.com, who claims that competitive people are likely to stay competitive even after landing a huge payout from the lottery and that this need for “keeping up with the Joneses” should be resolved in other ways besides spending.
“Very often we want that windfall, we want a lot of money and we assume it’s going to solve all of our financial problems,” he stated, suggesting that taking a step back and absolving any hang-ups is a healthy way to begin a new life as a multi-millionaire.
With this in mind, lotto fans may want to get in the game today (October 7th) and play EuroMillions.
Tuesday’s (October 5th) jackpot was a rollover so now the top prize is an incredible €119 million.

A EuroMillions jackpot of €116.1 million is up for grabs for lotto fans this Friday (October 7th).
This will not only be one of the highest jackpots ever this year, but if a lucky lottery fan scoops the coveted top prize, they will be among the top richest lotto winners in the world.
If the jackpot goes to a Brit then they will become the third-wealthiest lottery money recipient in the history of the UK.
After last night’s (October 4th) rollover, a spokesman from the British National Lottery said: “It is one of the biggest ever on offer in the UK and if a single ticket-holder were to win they would be leap straight into third place on the exclusive National Lottery Rich List.”
And eager lottery fans who are already itching with their lucky numbers in anticipation of this massive rollover can play lotto online at theLotter, where they can enter the draw from the comfort of their computer.

If a lottery fan finds out their numbers have been called in their favourite draw then it might be their first reaction to ring everybody they know in a frenzy – but one expert recommends taking a more Zen approach to acclimatising to a wealthy payout.
Life coach with Rasaru.com Rasheed Ogunlaru suggests lottery fans take a step back and adjust their minds to what impact this lotto jackpot will have on their lives and those of their nearest and dearest
“My tip would be to actually pause and give yourself some time before calling anybody – just because you can settle yourself,” he said.
And as for calling everybody in the phone book to share the good news, the life guru added that it was best to think twice about letting all and sundry know straight away and consider who they feel comfortable sharing their good news with in the first instance.
Perhaps the calm and collected approach could have benefited one lottery winner from South Carolina.
Last month the anonymous Spartanburg lotto fan told The State that he “freaked out” when he realised he was a rich man.

A EuroMillions winner has said he is going to make a disused train station into the home of his dreams.
According to the Daily Mirror, 38-year-old railway worker Mark Benbow had promised his wife that he would transform the dilapidated building in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales into a five-bedroom house for their family.
The father-of-four said he will be using his €1.1 million in lottery winnings to pay for the renovation, with the finished design including a darts room for Mr Benbow and his buddies.
“It needs a lot of work but I’ve made a good start and we should be able to move in next year,” he stated, adding: “It has been our dream to have a house just like this – one with plenty of space for children.”
The next EuroMillions draw will be tomorrow (October 4th), with the jackpot estimated to reach the €100 million mark – which is a life-changing sum for any lotto fan.

A pair of lottery winners from Wellingborough in the UK have claimed they are not going overboard with buying luxury items after scooping a multi-million pound jackpot.
Speaking to the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph, Chris and Sue Bowers said they have been able to stop working, buy a new home, iPhone and cars.
“We haven’t gone crazy. I have been able to retire which has meant a lot because I was doing a physical job,” Mr Bowers told the newspaper.
The couple scooped £3.5 million in July playing the UK National Lottery and only realised they had won the top prize when they checked their numbers online using a smartphone.
However, despite being modest spenders, Mr Bowers has admitted having a new car each isn’t quite enough, as he has his heart set on a 4X4.
Lotto fans may be keen to play the next UK National Lottery game on October 5th, with the new jackpot set at a tempting £2.2 million.

Fans of big rollover games such as Italian SuperEnalotto may want to take some tips from an expert if they want to increase their chances of having a massive lottery jackpot win all to themselves.
Independent lotto expert The Lottery Guy has recommended people use numbers above 31 when guessing what balls are going to be drawn, because those between 1 and 31 are very popular with people who go for birthdays and other memorable dates when buying a lottery ticket.
He also advised doing some research and finding out the least popular numbers that people pick and choosing them, because this too means sharing a prize is less likely.
“In particular, avoid the lottery numbers from the TV series Lost,” the expert added.
The next Italian SuperEnalotto draw will take place tomorrow (September 3rd) after a run of rollovers.
Now the jackpot has reached €58.3 million – which is a life-changing sum of money for any lottery fan.

A couple from the US state of Minneapolis have struck gold playing USA Powerball, as the lucky twosome have scooped the game’s massive $228.9 million jackpot.
Tom and Kathleen Morris had been discussing retirement and had planned to work for a couple more years before living off their pension, but always said they would start their life of leisure sooner if they won the lottery.
And as luck would have it, they did!
According to his wife, Mr Morris is a frequent USA Powerball player and usually buys three lotto tickets, but fortunately this time he decided to splash out on five – the fourth of which turned out to be a winner.
Mrs Morris said: “We have a lot of friends that have added that it couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple and that was nice to hear so we’re happy.”
Earlier this month, lucky lotto fan Randy Wagner from Grubbs, Arkansas, became the state’s newest millionaire after winning a cool $1 million playing USA Powerball.
