Two US draws are being welcomed into theLotter family in the coming weeks – and fans may already be on the edge of their seats ready to play lotto online.
Both the Illinois Lotto and Illinois Little Lotto will be included in the wide range of worldwide games players can enter and learn more about on the site soon, but those unfamiliar with these lotteries may want to find out about them and how to play.
Illinois Lotto
The Illinois Lotto has been on the go for more than 30 years and has been leaving multi-millionaires in the wake of its Monday, Wednesday and Saturday draws on a regular basis ever since it began.
Jackpots for this lottery start at $2 million and grow with each rollover, while there are also second, third and fourth-tier prizes up for grabs.
To play, fans select six main numbers from a matrix of 1-52 either using their own favourite digits – such as birthdays or addresses – or using a Quick Pick random number selector.
Fans cal already check lottery results for the Illinois Lotto on theLotter and people will soon be able to enter the draws at the site.
Illinois Little Lotto
The Illinois Little Lotto will be an entirely new addition to theLotter, because when it arrives, enthusiasts will be able to check results and play via the platform.
Prizes for the Little Lotto begin at $100,000 and only get bigger from there and lotto fans may be excited to learn that the odds for this particular draw are better than most.
Players only need to pick five unique numbers from a number matrix of 1-39 using a Quick Pick or their own selection of figures.
Furthermore, fans can enter the Illinois Little Lotto seven days a week, with drawings taking place daily after 21:00 local time.
Good causes
And the proceeds will be going to good causes too, with the state ofIllinoisgetting 25 cents for every ticket sold – bringing important funding to the region.
Last year saw the Illinois Lottery break previous charity records, giving $632 million to the Common School Fund, $54 million to the Capital Projects Fund, $1.2 million to war veterans, $1.2 million to multiple sclerosis charities, $905,200 to AIDS victims and $748,500 to breast cancer research.

Lottery fans searching for new and exciting draws to get involved in may be using the internet to seek out new games to try – but there is a chance that a great many are being overlooked because they refer to themselves as loto rather than lotto.
Some players may never have considered entering a loto draw before, preferring perhaps to stick to the familiar English language lotto games out there – but these people may not know what they are missing.
France Loto
The France Loto is the national lottery ofFrance and is extremely popular in its home country – hence the reason why it has three draws every week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Indeed, the French have been avid lottery fans for centuries, with the oldest records in the country of such games being played dating back to 1505.
Loto fans who think they have the same zeal for draws as the French can play this evening (January 18th), as the jackpot is estimated to be worth €4 million.
Sweden Viking Loto
The Sweden Viking Loto - which is also referred to as the Viking Lotto – is a Nordic draw based in Sweden, but Scandinavian and Baltic residents can also buy tickets in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Estonia.
And being lost in translation is not a problem with this draw because fans can use the plentiful resources at theLotter to play the game, check results and learn more about the Sweden Viking Loto.
The next draw will take place tonight and entrants could be in with a chance of winning 17.6 million Swedish krona if they get their numbers right.
Turkey Super Loto
Finally, Turkey’s Super Loto 6/54 – also known as the Super Lotto 6/54 – is another exciting game fans should not miss out on.
Players who are intrigued about the numerical element of its name may wish to learn that it is called 6/54 because entrants choose six main numbers out of a matrix of 1-54.
This tax-free lottery has a weekly draw on Thursdays, so those interested in lining their pockets with some Turkish lira may want to explore how this game works at theLotter in time for tomorrow night, when the jackpot is estimated to be worth 2.1 million lira.

Seasoned lottery players may have let slip they have plans or systems in place by using hot and cold numbers, but what exactly are these mystery digits and why do some people swear by them when it comes to getting a sequence that may lead them to winning the jackpot?
In this guide to hot and cold numbers, lotto fans can get to grips with what these terms mean and make their own minds up as to whether or not they think using a method devised around these figures is going to get them any closer to taking home a life-changing sum of money.
Hot numbers
Hot numbers are numbers that are called frequently in a series of lottery draws. Depending on different systems, to qualify as a hot number, the digit in question has to have been called a certain number of times – say three to five – within the last ten or 20 draws.
Strangely, there are some numbers that are called more often than others across the whole gamut of lotteries around the world, with the number eight proving to be the most likely to appear in a sequence of winning digits.
This is especially spooky, as the number eight is considered fortunate in Chinese culture, because it is associated with prosperity and wealth partly because in regional dialects they sound the same.
Cold numbers
By contrast, cold numbers are the digits that have not been called in a long time. Some fans include these in the sequence they choose when buying their lottery ticket because statistically they are due to make an appearance soon.
Just like the number eight, there are some balls that very rarely get plucked from the drum in a lottery draw, with 20 making the fewest appearances across the board, which is why it is one of the coldest numbers out there.
Why fans play with hot and cold numbers
Lottery enthusiasts who take their game very seriously sometimes keep a tally of what numbers are drawn and which have not appeared in a while and use this information in a strategy they believe will result in lotto success.
The theory is that by picking some hot numbers that often make an appearance in a draw and including some cold numbers that are long overdue to be called, they will have a good chance of claiming a top lotto prize.

It appears officials at the USA New York Sweet Million Lotto are targeting lottery fans who are also animal lovers early on in 2012, as their new commercial takes the strapline ‘sweeter than sweet’ to new levels.
The 31-second advert features a fairground scene with a difference – this difference being that it is enjoyed exclusively by bunnies.
This fantastical reverie concludes with a pair of rabbits taking off above the scene in a hot air balloon, looking out at their fellow critters as they head for the skies – but just like any dream, it all comes to an abrupt end as a huge comedy sign looms into view advertising the USA New York Sweet Million Lotto.
Both the pets and their balloon are bumped out of the frame to display the lottery‘s slogan, ‘Sweet million is sweeter than sweet … which is sweet’.
Players can enter the New York Sweet Million Lotto draw at online lotto site theLotter and pick the numbers they feel could give them a chance of taking home the coveted $1 million jackpot.
New York Sweet Millions Lotto
Another US draw that has also used comedy and the element of surprise is the Missouri Lottery, which has launched an ad that looks to attract new Club Keno fans.
In the commercial, a man is in a bar pondering what numbers to choose for his next lotto entry.
He spies a trio of young ladies in sports jerseys enjoying a drink at another table and decides to use the numbers on their tops as inspiration and checks each beauty out as he fills in the ticket with their numbers one by one.
Finally, he comes to the third girl and watches her in the hope of catching her eye when she turns around – but is taken aback when she reveals herself as a bearded man, who returns his smile as the narrator says: “Make friends. Play Keno.”
Humorous adverts are a great way of reminding lottery fans that in addition to the thrill of trying one’s luck at landing a big jackpot, they are also great fun and entertaining.

Europe is home to some great lottery draws, but sometimes the true meaning of what these lottos are called can get lost in translation – or even disregarded altogether
So what exactly is in a name when it comes to these lotteries? Because understanding this could help fans really get to grips with their history, style and exactly what these games are all about.
Spanish El Gordo
The Spanish El Gordo is one of the most popular lotteries available in its home country and its name does not hold any great mysteries.
Translated, El Gordo means the Fat One or Big One and its juicy payouts attract millions of Spaniards and those living overseas to entering their lucky numbers every Sunday to be in with a chance of landing its weekly jackpot prize.
Indeed, the Fat One is so popular that it was expected 90 per cent of Spaniards over 18 would be playing El Gordo at Christmas, with around 30 million fans entering the lottery online.
Spanish La Primitiva
The name La Primitiva may be an easy one to overlook, but there is so much more to this Spanish lottery‘s title than first meets the eye.
Directly translated La Primitiva means ‘the primitive’ – and this makes reference to the advanced history and age of this draw, as it was first played in 1763, making it one of the oldest lottos still in existence.
As well as offering fantastic jackpots – such as tomorrow’s (January 5th) €3 million top prize – La Primitiva is also tax-free, which allows winners to keep the entire amount if they strike lucky.
Italian SiVince Tutto
If lotto fans have a love of the Italian way of life, they may be unable to stop themselves saying SiVince Tutto in an Italian accent – and it does sound lyrical in its mother tongue.
But what does SiVince Tutto mean? The direct translation sounds just as lovely in any accent because SiVince Tutto means ‘win it all’.
This monthly lotto really does offer its fans exactly what its name implies, with the next jackpot set at €15 million promising whoever wins it that they can have every worldly thing their heart desires.

The state lotteries of the USA may generate some of the most exciting jackpot draws out there, but they also make a lot of money that goes towards supporting their local area and its residents – with education topping the bill as one of the main beneficiaries of this kind of funding.
These donations can sometimes fall under the radar, so what good causes do lottery funds go towards in the home states of the Florida Lotto, Hoosier Lottery and New York Lotto?
Florida Lotto
The USA Florida Lotto is famous for making enormous top prizes that lotto fans from all over the world clamour for, but many people may not realise the draw plays an important role in generating finances to support the state’s education.
According to the Florida Lottery, it is the organisation’s mission to maximise funding to enhance public schooling inFlorida.
For the financial year from 2010-2011, the lottery generated more than $1.19 billion to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund.
This is the ninth time in the 23-year history of the lotto that it has surpassed the $1 billion mark in a single year and since it began, the Florida Lotto’s total contribution to this cause has exceeded $23 billion.
Hoosier Lottery
The Indiana Hoosier Lottery is another draw that does much to support its state.
Indeed, the lotto generated $188 million in net income for the fiscal year of 2011, which was used to lower motor vehicle tax for allIndiana drivers.
Additionally, this money also went to boost the pension funds of those who do essential work in the Indiana community, including teachers, policemen and women and firefighters.
Since it was launched in 1989, the USAHoosier Lottery has produced nearly $4 billion for the citizens of its home state.
New York Lotto
The New York Lotto is also committed to its regional education and the lottery allocates revenue to local school districts, teaching and related facilities.
If the lotto makes more than its budget estimates then the additional finances go into its aid distribution pot.
For the year 2010-11 alone, the New York Lotto gave $2.12 billion to aid state education.

A little shop in a small town in California was turned upside down after it was revealed a jackpot-winning California Super Lotto lottery ticket had been sold there but the lucky player had not come forward.
According to the Cal Coast News, in the days after the news broke that a convenience store in Paso Robles had seen one of its customers buy a slip entitling them to $78 million, locals began to take an interest in the small outlet.
The employee who sold the ticket, Mary Booker, said that without a winner coming forward, residents began to suspect the slip may have been discarded or misplaced in and around the vicinity of the shop.
She revealed there were people checking the shelves to see if a lottery ticket had accidentally been lost amid a crate of cans or a display of magazines, while some ventured into the skips outside the building and even combed through nearby rubbish bins.
It was not long before customers began to suspect the employees of the shop, asking if they were the ones who scooped the lottery jackpot.
In the end, Korean War veteran Charles Hairston, who is 82, came forward to collect his $78 million top prize after 18 days of sitting on his ticket, despite realising his good fortune the very night he bought it on November 1st.
Lotto fans who are dreaming of a Californian lottery win just like Mr Hairston could try their luck at playing USA Super Lotto at theLotter to be in with a chance of winning $10 million in Saturday’s (November 26th) draw.

The winner of AUD$38 million in lottery prize money has vowed to keep on working, despite her enormous wealth.
This week the woman – who is remaining nameless – told lotto officials that she is happy to carry on in her job as a healthcare professional.
Fans of lottery games such as the Australia Powerball may share the winner’s passion for her career, as the player stated: “I really love my work so I will keep on working.”
When quizzed on what she would be buying with her newfound riches, she said she would like to treat her loved ones to a comfortable lifestyle, adding that a holiday and a new house are on the cards.
“This win won’t just change my life, it will change the lives of all of my family,” she remarked.
The lottery winner did not realise her good fortune until lotto officials rang to tell her the news, but initially she thought their call may be a hoax, so checked her lottery ticket online to see if the numbers matched – and they did.
Winning a lotto draw and not realising it is a fear many people may have, but this can be avoided if they play lottery online at theLotter, as the site offers a service alerting players if they have won any prize money.
In addition to Jackpot Email Alerts and Lottery Results Email Alerts, lotto fans can also receive alerts via SMS message.

A fast food worker from Dawsonville, Georgia, has won $250,000 thanks to a USA Mega Millions ticket that had been tossed in the rubbish bin.
According to Opposing Views, Andrew Hunter, who works at a local branch of Taco Bell, rescued the discarded slip and upon unfurling it realized he had scooped $3, because one of the lines matched one number plus the Mega Ball.
With this small windfall, the 24-year-old then purchased more lottery tickets – one of which resulted in a $250,000 payout.
He remarked: “I would have never bought that ticket if I hadn’t pulled the other ticket out of the trash.
“I don’t think it’s really hit me yet.”
Lottery fans who do not know where to buy MegaMillion lottery tickets can enter the draw at theLotter to be in with a chance of winning one of the cash prizes on offer.
Mr Hunter has not revealed whether he intends to keep his job at Taco Bell, or what purchases he plans to make with his newfound wealth.
He has said, however, that he will be investing some of his money – which could be a wise move for the young lotto winner.
USA Mega Millions fans could grab up to $55 million in prize money if they enter Friday’s (November 25th) lotto draw.

This summer’s record-smashing EuroMillions winners – Christine and Colin Weir from Largs in Scotland – have lavished €185,000 on new cars for their friends.
According to the Daily Record, the couple – who scooped €185 million in July playing the European lottery – have snapped up six vehicles on sale at a local Suzuki dealership, keeping two of the Japanese autos for themselves.
Their choice of car could be proof that the multimillionaires are relatively down to earth, given that their incredible wealth could afford them the world’s most expensive car, a €1.4 million Aston Martin One77.
In addition to buying Suzukis, the Weirs let one friend choose his own new set of wheels and picked up the bill for the black €92,000 Mercedes when he had decided what he wanted.
An insider close to the pair told the newspaper: “Since their incredible win, they have helped out lots of friends but have done so discreetly. They don’t want any fuss but they have always been generous.”
Indeed, the recipient of one of the Suzukis the Weirs purchased has claimed the lotto win will not change them and by purchasing cars from local showrooms they are also doing the region’s economy some good.
Lottery fans who have their hearts set on a Suzuki – or any make of car for that matter – may want to buy EuroMillions tickets online at theLotter to be in with a chance of winning Friday’s (November 25th) €35 million jackpot.

A group of 23 women enjoying a quilting retreat near Salem, Massachusetts, are celebrating after their getaway resulted in them winning $200,000 playing USA Powerball.
According to the Register Guard, the ladies – most of whom come from Eugene in Oregon, will be splitting their prize money, resulting in them getting around $5,000 apiece, with the gang using the cash to help fund future breaks together at the Silver Falls Conference Center to enjoy their pastime.
It transpires they pooled their money and bought 26 lines for the October 29th USA Powerball game – which had a $200 million jackpot.
The ladies also entered the lotto for their friends who were not in attendance and bought tickets for the draw while doing a fabric run.
Over the next couple of days, the group did what all lottery fans do – fantasize about how they would spend a top prize – before checking the newspaper and realising their luck had come in, even if it was not a jackpot win.
As a result of the good fortune, the women have been dubbed the Getaway Girls.
Adonna Roelke, who works at the Springfied-based PacificSource health insurance company and organises the quilting breaks, stated: “It’s just hard to believe. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet. For the next few years, we’ll be getting a free Sunday brunch [at the retreat].”
Lottery fans can buy Powerball tickets online at theLotter to try their hand at scooping this Wednesday’s (November 23rd) top prize of $20 million.

A family-run shop has cracked open the bubbly to celebrate selling its second lottery ticket worth a large amount of cash to a lucky patron.
According to the Irish Independent, the O’Donohoe family – who manage the Spar branch in Abbeyknockmoy near Taum – popped open a bottle of sparkling wine outside the store to fete the good fortune of one of their customers, who is now €3.8 million richer thanks to buying a winning Ireland Lotto ticket from the shop.
This is not the first time the O’Donohoes have sold a lottery ticket that has led to a patron winning a massive payout, because one EuroMillions fan scooped €500,000 after entering the draw at the store several years ago.
Patrick O’Donohoe, who works in the shop with his father, said: “We’re hoping [the winner is] somebody local but we don’t have a clue who it might be. Nobody has made themselves known to me yet. We get a lot of passing trade, but on account of it being a Saturday, it could be a local person.”
The family have said they hope to congratulate the winner in person if he or she makes themselves known to them.
Fans of the Ireland Lotto may want to buy lottery tickets online at theLotter to be in with a chance of scooping Wednesday’s (November 23rd) jackpot prize of €2 million.

Many lottery fans may have something else in common besides their love of lotto draws – a penchant for including the number seven in the sequences they choose to play in their favourite games.
Seven is known to be a lucky number in many cultures and it seems a great many lotto fans are superstitious enough to use this digit regularly – perhaps to boost their luck if they have a jackpot win in mind.
Dr John Haigh – an emeritus reader of mathematics and statistics at the University of Sussex and author of a book entitled Taking Chances: Winning with Probability – believes this prime number is a real favourite amongst lottery enthusiasts.
He revealed that Canadian lotteries – such as Canada Lotto 649 – publish the frequencies that individual digits are chosen.
The number seven was the most favoured, followed by 11, 3, 9, 5, 27, 31, 8 and 17.
Dr Haigh said low odd numbers are the most popular, while round numbers are relatively unpopular – perhaps because people do not see them as “sufficiently random”.
When it comes to lesser-chosen digits, the expert revealed 40 as being the least frequently picked lotto number, followed by 39, 48, 41, 20, 38 and 46.
Dr Haigh claims clusters of lottery numbers could be a better way of picking a sequence to play in a draw, because this is more random than spreading the digits out – which could reduce the likelihood of sharing a prize if they win with those numbers.

Newcomers to the wonderful world of lottery games may have heard the term ‘bonus ball’ being bandied about with certain games, but what exactly is a bonus ball?
Bonus balls are supplementary numbers allowing players to win secondary prizes and are not part of winning the jackpot prize.
When looking up the results of a game such as Italian SuperEnalotto, a lottery fan will have checked to see if any of their six numbers match the six drawn in the game.
While doing this, they will notice there is a seventh number that was drawn – this is the bonus ball and in Italian SuperEnalotto games is known as the Jolly number.
Lottery fans who selected five winning lottery numbers plus the bonus ball are then entitled to a secondary prize – which entitles them to much more than if they had chosen just five of the six winning lotto numbers.
November 19th’s Italian SuperEnalotto draw resulted in secondary prizes worth €632,070 for anybody who chose five lottery numbers correctly plus the Jolly number, while selecting just five winning numbers correctly entitles them to €29,628.
Playing games with bonus numbers can be a great way of getting more out of a lottery draw – and if a lotto fan’s luck comes in, the payouts can be enormous.
So why not give one of these games a try by playing lotto online at theLotter?

Lotto fans may find themselves scratching their heads for great lengths of time as they grapple with which numbers to pick when playing their favourite lottery draws – but do they know that lucky dips can save them from the anxiety of picking digits from addresses and birth dates?
Lucky dips are random number selectors that choose the numbers a lottery player will use in a particular draw for them.
Also known as a quick pick, lotto fans utilise computer programs to select a range of numbers to be played, so they are leaving the sequence they use entirely up to fate.
There are lots of random number generator sites available on the internet and some lottery enthusiasts may prefer them to using numbers they are familiar with.
Academic statistician and Winton professor of the public understanding of risk at Cambridge University David Spiegelhalter has suggested that using lucky dips can be a good choice for lotto players who want to vary their number selection.
“The real problem with always choosing the same number pattern is that it is difficult to ever stop, given the regret you would feel if that combination subsequently came up,” he explained.
There are a multitude of ways to select lottery numbers at random, so why not give it a go today and see if using a random number selector is better than picking anniversaries and postcodes?

The Louisiana Lottery is celebrating 20 excitement-packed years of making hundreds of millionaires – and to mark the milestone anniversary, it is offering a raft of promotions and games to its fans.
It seems the state lotto continues to be popular, with 2011 proving to be its second-best year, selling $385 million worth of tickets.
Rose Hudson, lottery president, claims the trust players have in the game is why it is so successful and stated that the Louisiana Lottery was the first in the USA to be given verification of quality assurance procedures meeting industry best practices.
“It’s a wonderful time to look back on how much the Louisiana Lottery has contributed to our state monetarily and culturally – as well as thank those business partners, employees and Louisianans who helped make it happen,” she noted.
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Louisiana Lottery launched a Facebook campaign to give players the chance to win a Mardi Grad parade ride by sharing their own customs for the festival on the social media site, while in February it brought back its popular Millionaire Bonus Raffle to be in with a chance of winning $1 million.
Fans were given the chance to design the official anniversary T-shirt in spring and in September a series of special scratch-off games were launched.
Louisiana Lottery fans can check their lotto numbers at theLotter – and players may already be excited for tonight’s (November 16th) rollover draw.

In this second edition in our new series of understanding lotto terms, we want to help lottery fans boost their game by understanding what it means to choose the multiplier option.
Many lotto fans may have spotted the Megaplier when they play USA Mega Millions - this is what is known in the lottery world as a multiplier.
It is simply a way of multiplying a non-jackpot lottery prize for an additional charge.
Non-jackpot prizes are multiplied by the Megaplier number – 2, 3 or 4 – which means lotto fans can get a lot more bang for their buck if their lucky numbers come through.
In the USA Mega Millions draw, the match 5 prize – which is always $250,000 – is always multiplies by Megaplier number 4, instantly making the ticketholder a millionaire.
USA Powerball works in a similar play with its own Power Play option, which boosts a player’s non-jackpot winnings by multiplying it with the Power Play ball and entitles match 5 prize-winners to a $1 million payout, just by ticking a box.
The USA Oregon Megabucks also has a multiplier entitled the Kicker, which entitles any non-jackpot prize won in the game to be multiplied by four.
There’s no time like the present for lottery enthusiasts to give these optional extras a go to boost their winnings, with the next USA Powerball and Oregon Megabucks draws taking place today (November 16th) and the next USA Mega Millions game scheduled for Friday (November 18th).

The USA Florida Lottery has had a lot to celebrate this year, with the game turning 25 on November 4th of this month, marking a quarter-of-a-century of exciting rollovers, supporting good causes and generating great prizes which have thrilled fans from all over the world.
On November 4th 1986, 64 per cent of voters made their mark on the state’s constitution, enabling it to run a state-managed lottery, with the first tickets for the game being sold two years later for its first draw on May 7th 1988.
So far there have been a total of 321,422,975 total winners, with 965 of these being made millionaires by the lotto.
Furthermore, the game has earned a whopping $7 billion for state education.
The good work of the USA Florida Lottery may be well known to those lucky enough to live in the Sunshine State, but not to lotto enthusiasts from further afield.
Its sole beneficiary is the Education Enhancement Trust Fund, which supports programmes at state college and university levels.
Chief executive officer of Florida TaxWatch Dominic Calabro told Florida Trend: “I think it’s fair to say without the lottery contribution to education, our public education would be far more troubled. With all its perceptions and challenges, it’s been a net contributor to Florida.”

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 games such as Canadian Lotto 649 may fantasize about the luxury and splendour a jackpot win would bring, but do many of them consider how long it takes to fully settle in to life as a multi-millionaire after landing an enormous windfall?
According to the Ottawa Citizen, one Canadian couple who know what that experience is like are Deborah Connors and Jerry McCrank of Manotick, Ontario, who scooped the grand prize worth C$1.543 million in 2010 and admit it took three months to get used to their new way of living.
As a result of the windfall, the pair now have a dream house in a country estate, which is much larger than any of their previous homes.
After admitting it was overwhelming to begin with, Mr McCrank and Ms Connors said: “It is a big house for sure, but it’s lovely. Now we get a lot more family and friends visiting.”
Canadian Lotto 649 fans may already have a property in mind for when their numbers come up.
Fans of the lottery can play at theLotter this week to be in with a chance of scooping the Canadian Lotto 649 C$30 million jackpot on November 16th.

Somewhere in Chicago there is a family of a mother, father and two teenage children who are sitting on a lottery fortune – but only a very select few know who these multi-millionaires are.
According to the Calgary Herald, the household scooped $30 million playing their favourite lotto game back in June but have opted to keep their identities anonymous.
Their lawyer, Pat Agnew, claims the family are “different” from the majority of lottery winners in that they have a clear plan for their riches, with the husband and wife proposing to pay off their debts, support their charities and save cash for their children’s education.
Local lottery winner Mike Wittkowski from Inverness – which is also in Illinois – scooped $40 million in lottery money in 1984 and at the time was North America’s wealthiest-ever lotto winner.
Commenting on the family’s decision the lotto fan told the news source: “If they can get away with it, good for them.”
Recently, Go Local Prov revealed a lottery player from Rhode Island claimed $10,000 playing her favourite lotto game but wishes to remain anonymous so she and her husband can enjoy their winnings in peace.

Two Canadian news presenters realised their colleague had won the lottery as they announced the results live on the air.
Squire Barnes and Sophie Lui were stunned when they read out that a C$2 million lotto prize had been scooped by their television station’s sports reporter Barry Deley.
The lucky lottery player was shopping for groceries while the announcement was being made, so the news programme called the presenter up and surprised him why he was running his errands.
As Mr Barnes and Ms Squires read out the lotto results, however, there was some initial confusion as to whether or not the winner was actually their colleague, however the penny soon dropped.
Mr Deley said: “It’s unbelievable. It’s amazing.”
He added: “You know people are going to think this is kind of fishy, don’t you?”
Lottery fans who think they are due some Canadian luck, just like Mr Deley, could play Canada Lotto 649 to be in with a chance of taking home C$22 million on Saturday (November 12th).

A couple who won the largest EuroMillions jackpot in the history of the game this year will be using some of their winnings to keep an historic boat from being decommissioned.
According to the Sun, Christine and Colin Weir – who scooped a record-smashing €185 million payout playing the lottery in July – will be providing some of the money needed to ensure the Waverly carries on doing its tourist trips.
The vessel – which is the world’s last ocean-going paddle steamer – regularly stops off at their hometown of Largs in Scotland and the EuroMillions winners claim it holds a special place in their hearts.
Last night Mrs Weir said: “We are in discussions with the Waverley people as we regard the ship as iconic. It is high on our list of causes that should be helped.”
Lotto fans who wish they could use a lottery windfall to keep their local attractions alive can play EuroMillions at theLotter, to be in with a chance of winning tomorrow’s (November 11th) jackpot of €66 million.

Lottery fans who love to log on and play their favourite online lottery draws may find their chances of winning improve if they go for games with smaller prize pots.
Matt Asher, editor of StatisticsBlog.com and maths graduate from the University of Toronto’s well-known statistics programme explained that – in general – lotteries with smaller jackpots might give enthusiasts a bigger chance of winning.
“If you play lots of small stakes games, you may win small amounts often,” he explained.
He added that the best lottery draws to get involved in could be those with middle-level jackpots – but where lotto fans are motivated by the size of the top prize, they may need to weigh up a greater chance of taking home some money and the amount of cash on offer.
And a bias for higher numbers could also boost one’s chances of winning big playing lotto online, as emeritus reader in mathematics and statistics at the University of Sussex Dr John Haigh explained last week that entering unpopular numbers means lucky players are less likely to split their win.

Many lottery winners will admit they reacted with shock or amazement upon learning the news they had scooped a massive lotto jackpot, however one lucky player has revealed his feelings were akin to those of a dazed fish.
The fortunate lottery fan from Hamilton, New Zealand – who had decided to remain nameless – admits he felt like a “stunned mullet”.
Individuals who play games such as New Zealand Powerball may be interested to learn the lotto player scooped NZ$1 million playing his favourite draw and realised he had struck gold when he checked his ticket at the counter of a local shop.
“I didn’t know where I was, or what was happening. I’ve been in disbelief for the last few days – winning [the] lotto doesn’t happen to me, it happens to someone else, or so I thought,” he gushed.
Lottery fans who think they are due a New Zealand Powerball payout can play this week to be in with a chance of scooping NZ$13.5 million, after the last draw resulted in a rollover.

More often than not, the first thing a lotto fan lucky enough to scoop a massive jackpot playing games such as EuroMillions will do is go on holiday – and one expert has revealed which locations are a proven hit with lottery winners.
Celebrity life coach Eva Speakman claims trips to Australian and Caribbean cruises are the most popular places that such lucky lotto players choose to jet off to – perhaps because flights down under from the western hemisphere make it unreachable for many people, while a luxury berth on a liner offers a great deal of appeal.
However, such vacations do not suit everybody and Ms Speakman noted that some people cannot choose between dream destinations – and so book two holidays.
“Most people who do want to travel would like to experience both the nice hot climates of the Caribbean and skiing in the Austrian Alps,” she explained.
The next EuroMillions draw takes place tomorrow (October 25th) and lucky lottery fans who get in the game could find they are on their way to the Caribbean or Australia sooner than they originally thought.

Lottery fans may know him as Hollywood’s Mr Nice and this week Hugh Jackman has certainly proved that under his A-list hero exterior he’s a truly generous and fun-loving guy.
Speaking at the press conference for his new film Real Steel in London’s exclusive Claridges Hotel, the Australia and X-Men star revealed he likes to buy the crew on his films lotto tickets.
He claimed his routine of getting a wad of 500 slips for his team first began when he was filming in the US and felt embarrassed that after two months he did not know anybody’s name.
“I thought that on a Friday afternoon I’ll whip by and buy lottery tickets for everyone and hand them out saying it’s an Australian tradition – but it’s not,” Jackman explained.
And it seems the lottery is something Mr Jackman may be a fan of, as he revealed in a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph that if he won the lotto he would not stop acting.

Lottery fans who pore over long lists of the numbers that have been coming up over the last however-many draws of their favourite lotto game such as Italian SuperEnalotto have been told to relax.
According to distinguished statistician and Winton professor of the public understanding of risk at Cambridge University David Spiegelhalter, although certain combinations have been highlighted as being luckier than others, by the law of mathematics, no lottery ball is more or less likely to be called than any other.
“This is checked regularly. Any suggestion that a number is ‘hot’ or ‘due’ is complete nonsense,” he remarked.
The expert acknowledged that 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 used to be the most common numbers to appear in lottery games, but he said statistically, any sequence goes.
Lotto fans keen to try their new relaxed attitude to number – picking can do so tomorrow (October 13th), to be in with a chance of winning €22.5 million playing Italian SuperEnalotto.

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.

The third-biggest lottery winner in the UK has come forward to collect their enormous EuroMillions prize.

The jackpot – which ballooned over the weeks thanks to multiple rollovers – will make the fortunate lotto fan the 703rd-richest individual in the UK, with a personal wealth equivalent to legendary rocker David Bowie.
A spokesman from the National Lottery stated: “There will be no information on whether it is an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased, unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.”
So now the EuroMillions prize has been reset at €15 million – a life-changing amount for any lottery fan.

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.

Picking lottery numbers can sometimes be an act of habit for the seasoned lotto fan, but one expert has said some methods are better than others if players do not want to risk sharing a jackpot.
Distinguished statistician and Winton professor of the public understanding of risk at Cambridge University David Spiegelhalter has claimed a random number generator is most likely the best way to go when it comes to limiting the chances of having to see a prize divided between lottery enthusiasts.
In truth, any combination of digits has the same chance of coming up in a lottery draw, but more people pick numbers under 31 due to birthdays.
He acknowledged, however, that those who have a set series they use regularly when playing their favourite lotto may find it is a tough habit to break “given the regret you would feel if that combination subsequently came up”.
One lotto fan from Australia struck lucky playing the lottery last month by using his favourite numbers, according to the Daily Mercury – so evidently lucky digits can result in big payouts too.

When a lotto fan wins big playing their favourite games such as Italian SuperEnalotto or Italian SiVinceTutto they will react in a completely individual way to the good news depending on their personality.
This is according to life and business coach Rasheed Ogunlaru of Rasaru.com, who suggested that people also adapt to their newfound fortunes depending on their character – which may mean some lottery players could benefit from outside financial assistance or counselling more than others if their lucky numbers come in.
“If you’re not good with money and are a little bit rash, be additionally careful when it comes to spending your windfall,” he suggested, adding that people who are generally level-headed and sensible are likely to apply this same attitude to spending a jackpot win.
Lotto fans who have dreamed of having their numbers called out and realising they have landed themselves an enormous prize may not be able to resist the €20 million up for grabs in tonight’s (October 6th) Italian SuperEnalotto rollover game.

A USA Powerball jackpot may give lottery fans the chance to live comfortably for the rest of their lives without ever working again, but one A-list actor has said that this sort of life of leisure may not make people happy in the long run.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Hugh Jackman, star of such blockbuster hits as X-Men and Van Helsing and new action movie Reel Steel, claimed that having a job to do is what stimulates a person.
“People think if I win the lottery I’ll never work again. Then you won’t be happy. We all need work,” the celebrity remarked.
He suggested that lottery winners are probably better off striking a balance between early retirement and continuing in employment and added: “We all need to contribute. But we don’t want to work too much.”
This may be food for thought for USA Powerball fans looking forward to tomorrow’s (October 5th) draw, which promises a single winner the generous sum of $58 million in prize money.

Cars are generally popular purchases for lottery fans who win big playing games such as Italian SuperEnalotto, but would a sleek new auto be your first big spend if you numbers were called?
Speaking to WalesOnline, local celebrities proved to be no different from ordinary lotto fans with many claiming a set of brand spanking new wheels would be on their shopping list after a top prize win.
Professional quiz player and star of BBC’s Eggheads CJ De Mooi revealed that a flash Aston Martin would be the first thing he would buy with such a payout.
Similarly, breakfast show presenter on The Wave DJ Badger revealed that he would procure a Rolls-Royce for his dad.
After the last Italian SuperEnalotto draw resulted in nobody taking home the jackpot, the top prize for the lottery has been ratcheted up to €19.2 million – but who knows, the enormous payout may get even bigger before it is claimed by a lucky lotto player.

It’s a difficult decision, but one that has to be made at some point by anybody who gets lucky playing their favourite lotto games such as USA Powerball - whether or not to go public.
One expert has suggested people who want to have their picture in the papers could be met with surprises as a result of their good fortune, while another claims publicising this kind of good fortune is very positive.
Speaking to the Baltimore Sun, professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University Steven Danish said that he has experience in counselling lottery jackpot winners and he commented that people thinking about allowing the media into their lives should consider the unexpected.
However, spokeswoman for the Maryland Lottery Carole Evrett said that showing pictures of “happy winners” is a good thing – perhaps because this reminds lotto fans of the kind of joy they could feel when their lucky numbers are drawn.
This week, the newspaper revealed a pair of USA Powerball winners is still deciding whether or not to go public.
The Abingdon couple won $108 million on September 7th.

A couple from Maryland are now $108 million richer thanks to winning big playing USA Powerball – and they may yet decide to go public with their happy news.
According to a lotto spokesperson speaking to the Baltimore Sun, the Abingdon pair stepped forward to collect their prize yesterday (September 13th 2011).
The lottery official revealed the lucky winners have not decided whether they want to be identified after receiving their windfall, which was won on September 7th.
Lottery communications director Carole Evrett said: “We are hoping to get an answer soon and are, of course, hoping they agree to publicity.”
And Ms Evrett may be especially keen that the couple agree to be identified because they are in fact the first ever USA Powerball winners for the state of Maryland.
Lotto fans who fancy a USA Powerball jackpot for themselves can play today at theLotter as the top prize is estimated to be $25 million – a life-changing sum of money.

A very lucky lottery fan can thank their lucky stars today – as they obviously selected them correctly after scooping the top prize in last night’s (September 13th) EuroMillions draw.
The fortunate lotto player, who has not yet been identified, has landed his or herself a life-altering €162.2 million, after they picked all five balls (9, 28, 30, 32, 49) and the two lucky star bonus balls (9, 10) correctly.
Thanks to this gargantuan payout, if the sole winner is a Brit, they have now been catapulted up to 512th place on the UK’s rich list, making them wealthier than many household name stars of stage, screen and the music scene.
Even though €162.2 million is hardly a sum to be sniffed at, the enormous prize did not beat the EuroMillions record win bagged by Christine and Colin Weir of Largs in Scotland in July this year, who took home €185 million after striking lucky with their numbers.

Now the jackpot keeps on climbing, lotto fans could be itching to get their lucky numbers in the game in time for the next draw, which is due to take place tomorrow (September 15th).
