SUNDERLAND - Billy’s Beer and Wine sold exactly $47 worth of lottery tickets the day before Marjorie Selbee arrived, just another sleepy day for the liquor store in this tiny Western Massachusetts town. But from the moment the 70-something woman from Michigan entered the store early July 12, Billy’s wasn’t sleepy anymore...( read more ) Creative Commons Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here: LuckyNumbers 4U .

3 Tips For Your Lottery Game !

Image
Whatever lotto game you decide to play, first do these important checks: 1. The game is state backed. Make sure your government is behind it for added security. 2. Do not play lottery games that use computer generated numbers. Make sure they are real balls - ping pong balls are most common - in a washer barrel machine. 3. Ensure the draw is a continuous one filmed from start to end without a break. Why? There’s some rumors going round that the computer generated random numbers (RNG) some games use may not be secure. This also applies to online lotto as well. The chances of getting a win when you can’t physically see the numbers being drawn makes these difficult to play without risk. The best way to get entirely random numbers and be sure of your game is to do this: (a) Monitor the numbers from past draws and ensure they don’t follow a strange or unexplained pattern. (b) Play games that have a manual number selection with no human intervention and plenty of security. No co

Husband of National Lottery winner Annette Rooke says his wife still tries to share her luck with all the family. Terry Rooke told getreading his wife buys Lucky Dip tickets to post to family members in every birthday card she sends. Mrs Rooke, from Calcot, won £2.4 million in the National Lottery four years ago. Last week she and her husband, both 61, were at a party of the region’s biggest lottery winners in East Grinstead in the run-up to the record-breaking £166 million Euromillions draw. Mr Rooke said they still bought lottery tickets each week, although “nowadays we are more clued up and buy them online”. He said when they won the lottery he had been thinking about retirement from his job as a prison warder. “We were preparing to retire and winning the money made everything so much easier,” he said. “It changed our lives for the better.” The cash has allowed the couple to help their adult son and daughter. It also allows them to have “lovely holidays” of the kind that p

Norma Chavez, 60, came forward this week to claim $317,529 in Sunday’s Fantasy 5 drawing. She used the same combination of “lucky numbers” in October 2007 to win $52,000 a year for life playing Win for Life. Chavez, a retired dry cleaning staffer, used her birthday and the birthdays of two friends to come up with this week’s winning numbers – 3-5-9-10-28. The ticket was sold at the Amoco Food Stop at 2077 N. Decatur Road. Chavez plans to use the money to buy a dishwasher. “I’ve been careful with my money,” she told lottery officials. Chavez’s family has also benefited from the HOPE scholarship funded by the lottery tickets she has purchased over the years. One of her two adult children attended the University of Georgia on the HOPE. Creative Commons Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here: LuckyNumbers 4U .

After casino blowout, couple win $41M jackpot

TORONTO - When Loretta DeMizio returned home broke from a trip to the Syracuse casino in New York last week, the customs officer at the border jokingly told her to check her Lotto 6/49 tickets, since the winning stub was purchased in her hometown of Niagara Falls. When she got home, she urged her husband Carmen to check their tickets. He'd get around to it, he answered. Then they both forgot about it. On Sunday, after church, he grabbed his usual newspaper and coffee after church, then remembered to check his ticket at the corner store. When Carmen realized he won $41.3 million, he did the only reasonable thing he could. He washed his car. Demizio and his wife Loretta, both 61-year-old retired teachers from Niagara Falls, wanted to remain as calm as they could until they confirmed the winning Lotto 6/49 ticket. "Now that we have the money in our hands, it's real," Loretta said at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. prize centre Tuesday. "Of course money is

***PRESS RELEASE*** A grandmother’s dream of having a backyard for her grandchildren to play in becomes a possibility after winning $200,000 on $200,000 Cash Inferno . The Columbia woman, who wished remain anonymous, had a lucky streak last week after winning $500 on a $200,000 Cash Inferno ticket and $290 on Pick 3 playing her daughter’s birthday numbers. Then, after cashing in a ticket, she decided to purchase another $200,000 Cash Inferno ticket for $10 from the St. Andrews BP located at 775 St. Andrews Road in Columbia.

The couple, who have two grown-up children, scooped the £161,653,000 jackpot in Tuesday's EuroMillions draw. The huge windfall catapults them to number 430 on Britain's rich list - just behind Posh and Becks. Dad-of-two Colin, who becomes a pensioner next birthday, was so ecstatic he jokingly vowed to copy Goldenballs Becks and toast his fortune with a new BABY . Asked how he felt being as rich as the Beckhams, the 64-year-old laughed and said: "We are going to try for another kid." But wife Chris, 55, had other ideas - insisting: "It's too late for that!" Colin revealed he had not slept a wink since the couple realised they had won this week's jackpot - Europe's biggest lottery prize. The payout, which makes them richer than ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, is a huge boost to the pair, who have battled ill health for years. Colin gave up his career as a Scottish Television cameraman - during which he filmed Sir Cliff Richard and actor Rob

  Friday, July 15, 2011 The Sentinel Follow LOTTERY winner Ged Blairs has scooped a £2.4 million jackpot, after choosing his numbers in the same way for the past 17 years. The 49-year-old lorry driver, pictured, has bought tickets with numbers based on his birthday, his sister's birthday, his lucky number 33 and his age since the lottery began in 1994. ​ His biggest win had only been around £100 when four of his numbers came up around 14 years ago. But his method finally paid off on Saturday to the tune of £2,405,435. Now Ged, of Chesterton, has already quit life on the road to take early retirement. The former JCB worker, who had been doing agency work for Best Connection, in Hanley, told The Sentinel: "Earlier this week I said I couldn't work as I had something on. I have told them now that I won't be back." The Stoke City season ticket holder did not find out he was a millionaire until Sunday afternoon, because he was

Washington couple celebrate £2.4m lottery win

PENSIONER Doreen Smith found 2.4 million reasons to celebrate her birthday. The great-grandmother of five and her husband Fred discovered they had won a share of the National Lottery jackpot in the early hours of Sunday – just as she turned 71. And despite suffering from mobility problems due to two hip and one knee replacements Mrs Smith managed to dance with joy upon seeing the six numbers on the couple’s ticket were an exact match for the numbers which had been drawn just hours earlier as part of Saturday’s main Lotto. The lottery win topped off a weekend of celebration as one of the couple’s grandsons, who they have decided not to name, was married on the Saturday. Mrs Smith, who is actually called Elizabeth but prefers to go by her middle name, said: “The win was a third reason to celebrate. We had been out on Saturday at the wedding, it was my birthday and then we won the lottery.” The couple, from Washington, have played the same numbers since the lottery star

Top lottery winners raise a glass !

AS if they haven’t had enough luck already, even the sun shone yesterday as Scotland’s biggest lottery winners gathered for an exclusive al fresco party outside an upmarket Glasgow hotel. Miniature cupcakes with pink icing were served as champagne bottles were popped – with one rogue cork flying through the air and landing at the feet of the assembled photographers. As a three-piece band played in the background, the big winners gathered to help the National Lottery celebrate £1 billion paid out to Scottish winners since it all began in 1994. As the millionaires posed for pictures, three winners each held up a giant number 2, to mark the 222 millionaire lottery winners created north of the Border. Among the winners at the event at the five-star Blythswood Hotel were Kerry and Tony Robinson from Greenock who had a baby boy in March. Ms Robinson won just over £2.5 million in January 2007 – before she met her future husband whom she waited a year before telling she was a lo

10 Lotto Playing Mistakes You Should not make.

Image
Every day lottery players make these obvious mistakes, and wondering why they are not getting more wins. So here’s 10 playing errors you MUST avoid - it will make you a better player: 1. Don’t play just when you feel like it. Have a timetable and stick to it. Once a week, twice a month... whatever it is, set your play times in concrete. 2. Don’t play on popular days. Many players lock themselves into a Saturday game and have to share their jackpot with dozens of others. Ask your local lotto shop which day is least popular and play on that one. 3. Don’t mess with a system that works. Some Lotto system buyers put their own numbers in ‘for good luck.’ This will give them worse results. You cannot beat a proven system. 4. Don’t change your numbers. If you have the budget to play 20 lines from a Lotto System, then stick to those numbers each game. Don’t think another different 20 lines for every game will be better - it won’t. 5. Don’t miss games. The major winners in

Lottery winners celebrate the good times - and sad - of hitting the jackpot

What do you give a group of Lottery winners worth £25 million? A party to celebrate.And a fireman, IT engineer, former chef, a pub clearner who refused to share her winnings with her children and the man who blew his £2.8 million prize on fast living, got just that in Bath and North East Somerset. Winners from across the West got together to tell of the good times, and sad, as research revealed Lottery jackpot success was akin to a grandparent being presented with a first grandchild on the happiness scale. One Somerset couple have found it hard to adjust with Denise Hardware missing her bakery job "terribly" and her 55-year-old husband Paul struggling to adapt to the slower pace of life. Mr and Mrs Hardware won £4.9 million in 2007 and not surprisingly quit their jobs. “They did say I could have stayed at work part-time and I wish I had because the people I worked with were amazing,” Mrs Hardware said. “I even missed getting up at 4am every morning. I still do the od

Do You make these 5 Common Game and Ticket Mistakes ?

Image
Many lottery players make these 5 common mistakes when they play: 1. They play on the wrong day. Every Lotto game in the world has a popular day. It may be that the prizes have jackpotted to become the biggest on that day. Or it could be a day that most people have free to buy a ticket... for example a Saturday. Here’s the problem. When everybody plays at the same time, the number of tickets in circulation for the game are huge. The solution is to play on a less popular day. You find that out by asking your friendly Lotto shop store. They’ll soon tell you which days are least frequented by players. 2. They don’t play enough lines. Some players expect to get a good result on playing simply 1-3 lines of their Lotto System or our Luckynumbers4U generators. While it is true you will get a better result by playing these small number of lines - one or two lines are not enough at any time. Instead of playing a small number of lines every week, you should save them up until you
