Jackpot prizes vary in amount - depending on how many bets are placed and how many people have placed their bets. It is a game that can be played by almost anyone on or above the maturity age level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they say, it is one form of gambling. But lottery is not treated as illegal for the prizes are also for the benefit of the players and to some charities. Many have tried their luck but only a few have won and grabbed the jackpot. &lt;br /&gt;Did these few have some lottery strategies to help them win? Did they have number patterns that they use to distinguish the winning numbers? Or is it just plain luck that made them win?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most classic of the lottery strategies is to trust one's intuition when picking a number. Man's instinct proves to be right at times. And trusting a hunch is much better than randomly picking numbers out of the lottery cards. The numbers that first come to one's mind when filling out a lottery card are the lucky numbers for him. Trusting one's intuition is a very good strategy considering that lottery is a game of pure luck and the chances of winning are slim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another one of those clever lottery strategies is this: If one wins today, then he must stop betting for the next few days or even months or years. &lt;br /&gt;It is not every day that a person wins a sum of money out of sheer luck. Most likely, after winning, the next bets will not do any good. The more a person bets after winning the prize, the more is his chance of not winning again. Ironic as it may seem, but it is the truth. Man plays with luck, so life plays with him in return. Everything has its reciprocal - everything is a matter of give and take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next method is not about using the mind and some luck but instead using one's common sense. It is advisable to root for different number combinations under different cards. It is to be understood that only one grand prize per lottery game is to be given away and having different cards with different numbers will increase one's chance of winning the lottery prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three are some of the lottery strategies that people may or may not follow. They are just simple methods - they are not complex or even hard to follow. They just need to be understood. After all, lottery is still a game that is accompanied by luck. Nothing is impossible, not even winning lottery jackpots&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-1300820835223537638?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/1300820835223537638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=1300820835223537638&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1300820835223537638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1300820835223537638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-win-lottery-strategies.html' title='How to win the Lottery strategies:'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-1710476039317921160</id><published>2011-09-10T16:33:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-09-10T16:33:49.393+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Grandmother is a SuperLotto winner !</title><content type='html'>At 73, the grandmother of eight is a SuperLotto winner, thanks to the  birthday-related numbers she picked in a nod to her children and grandchildren&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more: &lt;a href="http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2011/09/09/lottery-winner-played-birthdays-her-kids-and-grandkids/#ixzz1XZ2QaRXx" style="color: #003399;"&gt;http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2011/09/09/lottery-winner-played-birthdays-her-kids-and-grandkids/#ixzz1XZ2QaRXx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-1710476039317921160?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/1710476039317921160/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=1710476039317921160&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1710476039317921160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1710476039317921160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/09/grandmother-is-superlotto-winner.html' title='Grandmother is a SuperLotto winner !'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-6160497137357531554</id><published>2011-08-17T19:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-08-17T19:05:25.568+01:00</updated><title type='text'>TWO LOTTO WINS IN ONE DAY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="introcopy"&gt;LUCKY Lisa Alderson scooped two lottery wins on the same day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;style&gt;			#bodycopy a { font-size: 12px; }		&lt;/style&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="storycopy"&gt;The single mum-of-three bagged ­almost £67,000 when she matched five ­numbers and the bonus ball and also won on HotPicks.

This means that he can accurately sort winning tickets from losing tickets before removing the latex. Here is how the trick works, at least in a standard tic-tac-toe lottery ticket:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote _extended="true"&gt;&lt;div _extended="true"&gt;The trick itself is ridiculously simple. (Srivastava would later teach it to his 8-year-old daughter.) Each ticket contained eight tic-tac-toe boards, and each space on those boards—72 in all—contained an exposed number from 1 to 39. As a result, some of these numbers were repeated multiple times. Perhaps the number 17 was repeated three times, and the number 38 was repeated twice. And a few numbers appeared only once on the entire card. Srivastava’s startling insight was that he could separate the winning tickets from the losing tickets by looking at the number of times each of the digits occurred on the tic-tac-toe boards. In other words, he didn’t look at the ticket as a sequence of 72 random digits. Instead, he categorized each number according to its frequency, counting how many times a given number showed up on a given ticket. “The numbers themselves couldn’t have been more meaningless,” he says. “But whether or not they were repeated told me nearly everything I needed to know.” Srivastava was looking for singletons, numbers that appear only a single time on the visible tic-tac-toe boards.

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

He'd get around to it, he answered. Then they both forgot about it.&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday, after church, he grabbed his usual newspaper and coffee after church, then remembered to check his ticket at the corner store.&lt;br /&gt;When Carmen realized he won $41.3 million, he did the only reasonable thing he could.&lt;br /&gt;He washed his car.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;"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 going to change our lives, but our goal is for it not to change our personalities."&lt;br /&gt;Carmen purchased the ticket on Wednesday but didn't verify it until Sunday when he walked into a convenience store to check the numbers.&lt;br /&gt;When the huge prize flashed before his eyes, he quietly took the ticket back to his car and drove home.&lt;br /&gt;"I put the ticket on the fridge and went back to the store to get a printout of the winning numbers and put that on the fridge and went outside and washed my car," he said.&lt;br /&gt;But it wasn't until Loretta checked the ticket when the calmness broke.&lt;br /&gt;"I was screaming like a maniac," she smiled.&lt;br /&gt;Their three children came to dinner for a family meeting and they all thought the big news was a terminal illness.&lt;br /&gt;Instead, Carmen cracked open the red wine.&lt;br /&gt;"I told my son, 'Do your happy dance,'" he said.&lt;br /&gt;The Demizios have played the same numbers over a span of 20 years, inspired by New York Yankees player Reggie Jackson, Carmen's brother's football team numbers and birthday dates.&lt;br /&gt;So it's fitting the family now plans on using some of that money to do a U.S. baseball tour, as well as a trip to Tuscany, Italy.&lt;br /&gt;"We want to travel up the west coast, Los Angeles, San Francisco and then we're going to do Boston," said Loretta.&lt;br /&gt;"We love baseball," she said. "We watch nothing else on TV. But, our family is our first priority.&lt;br /&gt;"We have a large family with seven siblings, 15 nieces and nephews and three kids," Loretta said.

I had to take a significant  responsibility to do everything in the house to let Chris recuperate." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple missed Tuesday night's EuroMillions draw as they were watching  their  favourite TV show CSI. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Chris checked the numbers on their bedroom telly at midnight - and re-  checked them &lt;b&gt;FOUR&lt;/b&gt; times before alerting her hubby. &lt;br /&gt;She said: "I didn't have anything much on the first four lines, but when I  got  the fifth one, my last, I found I was ringing every number. I kept going  back over them. Then I went to the stairs and said to Colin, 'I need you to  check something for me'. He could tell by my voice something was up." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin said: "I had to check it three or four times as well because I couldn't  believe it. The odds are incredible, it's a stupendous prize." &lt;br /&gt;Chris added: "The Lotto phone line had closed so we just sat up. We were so  full of adrenalin we couldn't sleep. We just sat there and talked about how  amazing this was. &lt;br /&gt;"We were tickled pink at the whole notion of the win. It got to about 4am and  dawn was breaking. We still couldn't sleep so we opened a bottle of wine - and  I don't even drink! That's how excited we were. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We woke up Tuesday and everything was normal. By Wednesday morning,  everything was different. &lt;br /&gt;"But we're not afraid of this money, it's going to be fantastic - it's going  to be such fun."&lt;br /&gt;Colin revealed he had not let the winning ticket out of his sight since  learning of the mega win. &lt;br /&gt;He said: "We held it in our hands all night long on Tuesday and it has never  left my side since." The pair now plan to buy homes for son Jamie, 22, and  24-year-old daughter Carly, a photography student. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also plan driving lessons for them both and reckon Jamie will quit his  job  at a call centre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple also aim to start their own charity and want to travel the world  with Cambodia and Thailand on their wishlist - along with Australia, where  Colin has long dreamt of visiting mystical Ayers Rock. &lt;br /&gt;He said: "We want to take our time because it's such a large sum of money. We  want to think about how we can do some good with it. There are things we are  passionate about, but for as many people to benefit as possible we need to  do  it in a proper way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris said: "We are not flashy people. We are not celebrities. We need to  look  at what is the best way to do the most good."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She added: "We need to think about our family and make sure the children are  well provided for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Neither of them drive because they couldn't afford cars - so driving lessons  will be a priority. As for a new house for us, we love the town where we  live,  but might look at buying a second home."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple had a jokey spat on the subject of replacing their cars - a  six-year-old Suzuki Ignis and a three-year-old Suzuki SX4. Colin said: "I  don't think we will immediately swap cars, if you've got reliable cars  what's  the point?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Chris insisted she &lt;b&gt;WILL&lt;/b&gt; splash out on a swish new motor -  admitting  her dream car is a Lexus Prius Hybrid. She added: "Our future really  is  bright and golden."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris worked for the NHS as a nurse and nursing manager for 37 years before  retiring in 2009 due to ill health. She has degrees in psychology and the  effects of ageing and describes her illness as "rare and weird neurological  problems". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pair, who will earn £14,400 interest a &lt;b&gt;DAY&lt;/b&gt;, live 30 miles from  Scotland's other big winner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post worker Angela Kelly, of East Kilbride, scooped £35.4million in 2007. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A neighbour of the Weirs said: "They're good people and it's lovely to see  something like this happen to someone who deserves it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TUESDAY'S EuroMillions jackpot will be £18m after no one picked  last  night's numbers: 6, 26, 33, 34 and 39. Lucky Stars 3 and 4. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more: &lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3697016/EuroMillions-winners-161653000-smackers.html?OTC-RSS&amp;amp;ATTR=News#ixzz1SHaBu9OX" style="color: #003399;"&gt;http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3697016/EuroMillions-winners-161653000-smackers.html?OTC-RSS&amp;amp;ATTR=News#ixzz1SHaBu9OX&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt;

I have told them now that I won't be back."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Stoke City season ticket holder did not find out he was a millionaire until Sunday afternoon, because he was hungover from a night out drinking with pals.&lt;br /&gt;Ged has been playing the lottery online for the last five years and buys two lines every Saturday and Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said: "I received an email saying there was important news about my lottery account, but I disregarded it as I thought it was just a £10 win."&lt;br /&gt;He later opened the email to find out he had won £2.4 million.&lt;br /&gt;He rang his sister, Pauline Clewes, aged 53, of Waterhayes, straight away to tell her the news.&lt;br /&gt;He said: "I was shaking like a leaf – I couldn't believe it. And Pauline's been the same as me. She can't eat and can't sleep, but she is absolutely over the moon.&lt;br /&gt;"I have felt ill since I won.

I'm an ordinary working class guy, a miner's son and I can't see me being any different now I've got this money."&lt;br /&gt;His lucky numbers were 1 and 21, based on his January 21 birthday; 2 and 24, from Pauline's February 24 birthday; his lucky number 33 and his age – 49.&lt;br /&gt;Trentham couple John and Jackie Livesley, who won £2.6 million in November 2008, offered some words of advice to Mr Blairs.&lt;br /&gt;Jackie said: ""He should sit down, think about it and take some good financial advice.

We had been out on  Saturday at the wedding, it was my birthday and then we won the lottery.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple, from Washington, have played the same numbers since the lottery  started in 1994. Mr Smith, 71, said: “The numbers are all birthdays of family  members. I’ll still keeping putting them on despite us winning. Imagine if they  came out again and we didn’t have a ticket. I’d kick myself.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple went public with their win yesterday at Lumley Castle in  Chester-le-Street surrounded by close family. Mr Smith, who spent most of his  working life in the Royal and Merchant Navy, recounted the moment he realised he  had scooped a share of the £7,216,305 jackpot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said: “I put the Teletext on and started to check the numbers.&lt;br /&gt;“I thought I had won a tenner at first then realised I had more than three  numbers. We had been to the wedding and I was a little bit tipsy. I couldn’t  quite get the 49 in focus so I asked my son, who was staying with us, to check.  It was then he told me we had all six numbers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read More &lt;a href="http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2011/07/14/washington-couple-celebrate-2-4m-lottery-win-61634-29049762/#ixzz1S64xlEjr" style="color: #003399;"&gt;http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2011/07/14/washington-couple-celebrate-2-4m-lottery-win-61634-29049762/#ixzz1S64xlEjr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-354561173249483757?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/354561173249483757/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=354561173249483757&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/354561173249483757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/354561173249483757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/07/washington-couple-celebrate-24m-lottery.html' title='Washington couple celebrate £2.4m lottery win'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-5035410168975336226</id><published>2011-07-12T17:30:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-12T17:30:21.965+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Top lottery winners raise a glass !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;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. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;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 lottery millionaire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;He recalled how she broke the news by putting on a DVD of her holding a big cheque: “It was a bit of a shock but it was a good moment. I got checked out first.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Ms Robinson still sounded giddy talking about her big win yesterday, recalling how she initially thought she had only five numbers when she went to the local supermarket to claim her winnings. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;She said: “I told my friend at the shop I’d won and she didn’t believe me. But she pulled it up on the computer and said ‘You’ve won.’ And I said, ‘I know’. And she said, ‘No, you’ve really won.’ Then she went this colour of grey and I realised she was serious. It was a bit of a blur after that.”  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Her win has opened doors and future plans include “more fun” and investing in their children’s future.

Don’t play just when you feel like it. Have a timetable and stick to&lt;br /&gt;it. Once a week, twice a month... whatever it is, set your play times in&lt;br /&gt;concrete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Don’t play on popular days. Many players lock themselves into a&lt;br /&gt;Saturday game and have to share their jackpot with dozens of others. Ask&lt;br /&gt;your local lotto shop which day is least popular and play on that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Don’t mess with a system that works. Some Lotto system buyers put their own&lt;br /&gt;numbers in ‘for good luck.’ This will give them worse&lt;br /&gt;results. You cannot beat a proven system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Don’t change your numbers. If you have the budget to play 20 lines&lt;br /&gt;from a Lotto System, then stick to those numbers each game. Don’t&lt;br /&gt;think another different 20 lines for every game will be better - it won’t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Don’t miss games. The major winners in any lotto game play EVERY&lt;br /&gt;time until their win comes up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Don’t give up too soon. Every breakthrough in life - and lotto - has&lt;br /&gt;come just when things seem to be at their bleakest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Don’t think you know it all. Subscribing to the Luckynumbers4U Blog&lt;br /&gt;and reading each issue will give you little known information that could&lt;br /&gt;improve your winning streak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Don’t think you are losing your entry fee (buying tickets) when&lt;br /&gt;you don’t get a win. Paying for your tickets is a necessary requirement, and&lt;br /&gt;you need to be in to win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Don’t play games with 7 balls if you want frequent winnings. Stick&lt;br /&gt;with low ball games. Play 5 ball games, then 6 ball games only if you have&lt;br /&gt;no other choice. The odds of winning improve with the lower ball games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Don’t play the games with the highest numbers - instead, play&lt;br /&gt;the game with the lowest. The lower the number of numbers in your game,&lt;br /&gt;the better your odds. If you have a choice of playing two games containing,&lt;br /&gt;say, 35 numbers or 60 - go for low!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-630192789328391325?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/630192789328391325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=630192789328391325&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/630192789328391325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/630192789328391325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/07/10-lotto-playing-mistakes-you-should.html' title='10 Lotto Playing Mistakes You Should not make.'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-611641680291100996</id><published>2011-07-07T17:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T17:11:54.521+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Lottery winners celebrate the good times - and sad - of hitting the jackpot</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr and Mrs Hardware won £4.9 million in 2007 and not surprisingly quit their jobs.&lt;br /&gt;“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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I even missed getting up at 4am every morning. I still do the odd wedding cake and birthday cake.”&lt;br /&gt;Pub chef Paul always checked the lottery numbers before work on Sunday morning. On the day he realised he and his wife had won the jackpot he still went in to work but asked for the next day off to pick up his winnings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for a Dorset couple, Ed and Michelle Edwards from Sherborne, winning £1.9 million was the opportunity they craved to give something back to the community.&lt;br /&gt;Mr Edwards, went part-time as an IT consultant for the Avon and Somerset Probation Trust and his wife quit her job as a shop manager and became an unpaid dog trainer for the charity Canine Partners, who provide specially-trained dogs for disabled people.&lt;br /&gt;The couple have bought a new home, yacht and took some friends on holiday.&lt;br /&gt;“I don’t feel like it is my money so I don’t mind spending it on other people,” Mrs Edwards said.&lt;br /&gt;“If I had earned it the hard way it might be different.”&lt;br /&gt;“It’s burned in your memory, I will never forget it,” said Ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Having spoken to a few of the other winners, it’s funny because very few absolutely jump for joy, everybody remains calm but of course it changes your life. Those first few days are actually like a bereavement but in a good way, because you realise your life is never going to be the same again.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diane Collins shared a glass of Pimm’s at the party yesterday and declared her type of win – she scooped £40,000 a year for life on a scratchcard in May this year – was better.&lt;br /&gt;“I think it’s better because it’s nice and measured and you can’t go mad,” said the 45-year-old who runs the jewellers Weston Gold Exchange in Weston-super-Mare.&lt;br /&gt;“I’ve invested a lot of it in gold, obviously, and we’re putting dormer windows in the bungalow. It’s nice with things like birthdays – two of my three children have them this month – and you can afford to do what they want to do without worrying about it,” she added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The party was held to celebrate the Lottery creating 150 millionaires in the South West since 1994, paying out £820 million in cash prizes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-611641680291100996?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/611641680291100996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=611641680291100996&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/611641680291100996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/611641680291100996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/07/lottery-winners-celebrate-good-times.html' title='Lottery winners celebrate the good times - and sad - of hitting the jackpot'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-668431587097524030</id><published>2011-07-06T22:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-06T22:52:04.839+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Do You make these 5 Common Game and Ticket Mistakes ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Many lottery players make these 5 common mistakes when they play:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. They play on the wrong day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every Lotto game in the world has a popular day. It may be that the prizes&lt;br /&gt;have jackpotted to become the biggest on that day. Or it could be a day that&lt;br /&gt;most people have free to buy a ticket... for example a Saturday. Here’s the&lt;br /&gt;problem. When everybody plays at the same time, the number of tickets in&lt;br /&gt;circulation for the game are huge. The solution is to play on a less popular&lt;br /&gt;day. You find that out by asking your friendly Lotto shop store. They’ll soon&lt;br /&gt;tell you which days are least frequented by players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. They don’t play enough lines.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some players expect to get a good result on playing simply 1-3 lines of their&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;Instead of playing a small number of lines every week, you should save&lt;br /&gt;them up until you can afford to play a number of lines in one hit. Take a&lt;br /&gt;couple of lines in between these times just to keep your enthusiasm going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. They fill out the tickets incorrectly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some reason, some&amp;nbsp; Lotto&amp;nbsp;ticket buyers want to change the&lt;br /&gt;order of numbers each time they play. This is not the way the system is&lt;br /&gt;designed to work. Use the same numbers each time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. They play too many games.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of players are conditioned to play once or twice a week. The problem&lt;br /&gt;is that it becomes very expensive if they play games that don’t have a&lt;br /&gt;matching number selection at that time. I’ve managed to get around that&lt;br /&gt;select the games which have the best match with&amp;nbsp;your Lotto System.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. They are too impatient.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people say they are only winning a few hundred dollars a month. They ask what the problem is. The answer... there is no problem.&amp;nbsp; They can easily tell that because it’s a simple fact that many people don’t win this amount even once in several years. These small wins show&amp;nbsp;their lotto System or our Luckynumbers4U generators&amp;nbsp;work and it only remains to stay in the winning pattern and wait until the numbers get the Big One!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-668431587097524030?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/668431587097524030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=668431587097524030&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/668431587097524030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/668431587097524030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/07/do-you-make-these-5-common-game-and.html' title='Do You make these 5 Common Game and Ticket Mistakes ?'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-2996425009694962728</id><published>2011-07-04T22:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-04T22:32:42.836+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Mega Millions Player Wins $105 Million Jackpot!</title><content type='html'>Mega Millions: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one jackpot winning ticket in the July 1, 2011 Mega Millions drawing.

As opposed to National lotteries that are limited to residents of a specific country, the EuroMillions Lottery combines the stakes from all participating countries, thereby increasing the winnings pool. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vision of a pan – European lottery was born in 1994. As a single European currency was being introduced, the EuroMillions Lottery was being developed. But, as with many border – crossing organizations, administration and policy delayed the plans several times before finally being established in 2004. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-6460165973096859744?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.wintrillions.com/EuroMillions.php?account=Hans&amp;bid=cdf293a8' title='Fridays EuroMillions Jackpot a record 152 Million !!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/6460165973096859744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=6460165973096859744&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/6460165973096859744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/6460165973096859744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/06/fridays-euromillions-jackpot-record-152.html' title='Fridays EuroMillions Jackpot a record 152 Million !!'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gAL0pesj4TQ/TgzqXN2CzlI/AAAAAAAAASE/A6-bouXFazk/s72-c/euromillionslottery.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-415148267259856486</id><published>2011-06-21T21:25:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-21T21:25:04.503+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Bristol man wins with Cash 5 ticket</title><content type='html'>BRISTOL — A jackpot-winning Cash 5 ticket valued at nearly $345,000 was sold Saturday at Bristol's Selecto Supermarket on Pond Street, the Pennsylvania Lottery said Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of Monday afternoon no one had claimed the winnings, lottery officials said. But Maribel Maldonado, office manager at the supermarket, said one of Selecto's regular customers was the lucky guy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think he's still shocked," she said. "He said he couldn't sleep the night he saw the numbers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maldonado said she didn't know the man's name. But she said his lucky numbers — 12, 16, 22, 29 and 40 — were picked by computer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man paid $1 for the ticket. The odds of winning the jackpot were one in 962,598, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery. After taxes, he'll take home more than $258,000. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-415148267259856486?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/local/courier_times_news/bristol-man-wins-with-cash-ticket/article_3d165836-80f9-5975-8ead-3b78fa391458.html' title='Bristol man wins with Cash 5 ticket'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/415148267259856486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=415148267259856486&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/415148267259856486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/415148267259856486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/06/bristol-man-wins-with-cash-5-ticket.html' title='Bristol man wins with Cash 5 ticket'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-6488871818609371944</id><published>2011-06-20T21:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-20T21:21:55.541+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Top 10 Lotto Lucky Cities</title><content type='html'>Many people that play the lottery in the UK put a lot of thought into their ticket, thinking that it could change how likely they are to win. Some always buy their lottery tickets from a certain shop or at a certain time, just because they feel that this will be lucky for them. Some make sure that they buy their tickets in a particular town or city because of the number of past lottery winners there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the release of details from recent research, carried out by the National Lottery, people can now buy their tickets based on lucky towns and cities, as the National Lottery has now released the details of the top ten cities in the UK with the most lottery millionaires. For those that are superstitious about where they buy their tickets, this could provide the opportunity to buy tickets from some of the luckiest lotto places in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The top ten cities for lotto winners, as compiled by the National Lottery, is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. London&lt;br /&gt; 2. Birmingham&lt;br /&gt; 3. Newcastle Upon Tyne&lt;br /&gt; 4. Glasgow&lt;br /&gt; 5. Manchester&lt;br /&gt; 6. Sheffield&lt;br /&gt; 7. Peterborough&lt;br /&gt; 8. Belfast&lt;br /&gt; 9. Liverpool&lt;br /&gt; 10.

Parang katuwaan nilang mga magkakapatid at pinsan na tataya sila (He said it was his second time to bet on 6/55. For fun, he and his siblings and cousins played the lotto)," she said.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While waiting in line, a woman suddenly cut in front of the Balikbayan and bought a ticket at the lotto counter. The woman also chose a lucky pick 6-number combination or a number that is randomly generated by computer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ang sabi niya, Naku! Kung naghintay lang ang babae sana siya na ang nanalo (He said, if the woman had only waited she would have won the lotto jackpot)," Juico said.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The PCSO chief said the balikbayan also chose to get a luck pick combination that would win him the P741 million 6/55 Grand Lotto jackpot. She said the winner is planning to return to New York, where his family has been staying for the past several years, and then return to the Philippines and retire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juico said the balikbayan was wearing a white T-shirt, rubber shoes and long pants when he claimed the P741 million check with his relatives at the PCSO head office in Quezon City on Thursday afternoon.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Juico said that based on their conversation, she concluded that the man is a very religious person.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The holder of the "lucky pick" 6-number combination was in a religious pilgrimage and was praying before the Kamay Ni Hesus Shrine in Lucban, Quezon when he received a call from his relatives, telling him that he might have won the Grand Lotto jackpot.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Returning from the religious pilgrimage, the balikbayan's wife eagerly asked him to check if he really won the lotto jackpot that was being sought by millions of Filipinos.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Juico said that according to the man, he asked his wife if he could just check the next morning because he was very tired and really needed to go to bed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, the man compared his ticket with the winning combination published in a newspaper and confirmed that he had won the largest jackpot ever won in the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Juico said that the old man did not have immediate plans on what to do with the money. She said that the old man mentioned his "apo" (grandchild) and may save some of the prize money for the child's future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(abs-cbnNEWS.com)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-2592099610196183268?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/2592099610196183268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=2592099610196183268&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/2592099610196183268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/2592099610196183268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/06/lucky-break-gives-balikbayan-winning.html' title='Lucky break gives balikbayan winning lotto ticket'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-2446116909452012861</id><published>2011-06-07T22:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T22:22:18.797+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Money really can't buy you love:</title><content type='html'>A former hairdresser told told how a £2.5 million lottery win has allowed her to buy everything - except love.&lt;br /&gt;Single Andrea Holmes, 34, has splashed out on luxury cars, holidays and a plush property portfolio since winning the lottery nine years ago.&lt;br /&gt;Andrea quit her job as a hairdresser, opened her own beauty spa and can buy anything she likes when she goes shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But despite all the trappings of wealth Andrea is still unlucky in love and desperately hoping to meet the man of her dreams and start a family.&lt;br /&gt;Andrea, who has invested the majority of her win and original savings for her future family and home in Wiltshire, says she had never found the right man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said: 'I was single at the time and my status is still the same. Maybe I'm too fussy, but I was quite independent then and I still am now.&lt;br /&gt;'The money can be an issue for some, but I still live the same way as I did before.

It is just such a life changing amount of money.&lt;br /&gt;'I would have been delighted to have won £10, I was chuffed when I won £80 but £2.5 million is just too much to take in.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Trading up: Andrea swapped her clapped out Ford Fiesta for a Mercedes SL 350&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea did not touch her win for a few weeks - and says her bank even phoned her to tell her that she could use the account.&lt;br /&gt;After that, she traded her clapped out Ford Fiesta in for a brand new Peugeot 206, which she traded in for a BMW convertible two years later.&lt;br /&gt;After three years she traded her BMW in for a Mercedes SL 350 and now owns a Mercedes SLK, which she bought four years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea took her parents, Sandra and dad Bill, 63, on a cruise to the Canary Islands, after her win, and gave a chunk of the winnings to her brothers and sister.&lt;br /&gt;She has also taken her friends and family to on holidays to exotic locations such as Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Amsterdam and Norway.&lt;br /&gt;Despite her wealth, Andrea still shops on the high street and regularly picks up tops in New Look and Debenhams - although admits she can buy anything she likes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The former hairdresser moved out of the ex-council house she lived in with her parents, both former pizza factory workers, and bought a sprawling four-bedroom property nearby.&lt;br /&gt;She now lives there alone with her six-year-old Border Collie 'Troy' and eight-year-old African Grey parrot 'Red'.&lt;br /&gt;Andrea purchased a portfolio of properties around Devizes two years ago and acts as a landlady for a number of tenants across the town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has started renting out a room in a local beauty parlour in Devizes, where she employs a beautician who offers 'fish spa' treatments.&lt;br /&gt;Amazingly, Andrea still plays the lottery every week and spends her money wisely.&lt;br /&gt;She said: 'It's amazing how the lottery has changed my life. It has given me much more confidence.&lt;br /&gt;'But I am careful with money too. If you spend it wisely and look after it then it will look after you.&lt;br /&gt;'I felt a bit bad when I started playing the lottery again as I had been so lucky but then nobody seemed to mind.&lt;br /&gt;'It's really nice to go back into the shop where I bought my winning ticket and buy more.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1394900/Money-really-buy-love-Lottery-winner-2-5m-bank--share-with.html#ixzz1OcxacYfU"&gt;more&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-2446116909452012861?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/2446116909452012861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=2446116909452012861&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/2446116909452012861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/2446116909452012861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/06/money-really-cant-buy-you-love.html' title='Money really can&apos;t buy you love:'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-8460658943165295444</id><published>2011-06-07T22:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T22:16:33.283+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapel Hill man wins $1M in N.C. Lottery</title><content type='html'>RALEIGH -- Rich Wright of Chapel Hill started his day Thursday like he does many days, checking his lottery numbers as he sat with his family around the breakfast table. He always plays his set of lucky numbers – special birthdays – and had purchased 10 chances at the $200 million jackpot the night before.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As he matched his tickets to the winning numbers on the N.C. Education Lottery’s website, he saw that one of his tickets had matched all the white balls, getting five of the six numbers.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“I knew I had power played so I knew it was a million dollars,” Wright said a few hours later at NCEL headquarters. “I couldn’t believe it. I said, ‘Oh, my God.’ And my family said, ‘What?’ And I said, ‘We just hit the lottery.’” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wright, a sales manager for a company that sells and installs central vacuum systems, said he always buys the $2 Power Play tickets because he knows if he wins the prize will be bigger. Under the Power Play option, matching the numbers of five white balls results in an automatic $1 million win, while wins from other lower tier prizes are multiplied by the Power Play number.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Wright said he planned to use his prize money, $680,000 after taxes were withheld, to pay off bills, buy a new home, and take his family, including his two daughters, to Disney World. He bought the winning ticket at the Buy &amp; Go on Northwest Ephesus Church Road in Chapel Hill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read&lt;a href="http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/06/02/1243838/chapel-hill-man-wins-1m-in-nc.html#ixzz1OcwEjlwZ"&gt; more&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-8460658943165295444?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/8460658943165295444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=8460658943165295444&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/8460658943165295444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/8460658943165295444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2011/06/chapel-hill-man-wins-1m-in-nc-lottery.html' title='Chapel Hill man wins $1M in N.C.

&lt;br /&gt;Our table shows how frequently each number has appeared in the main Saturday and Wednesday Lotto draws to date. The number that has been drawn the most times over the past 15 years is ball number 38. This has been drawn a total of 256 times – 209 as the main ball and 47 times as the bonus ball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number 25 is the second luckiest ball to date. So far, it has been drawn a total of 235 times, 196 times as the main ball and 39 times as the bonus ball. Other lucky balls are number 31, number 23 and number nine, which have been drawn 235, 234 and 228 times in total respectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By contrast, the number 13 has been drawn only 171 times, just 16 times as a bonus ball and 155 times as a main ball.

The start date of Beijing Olympics was no coincidence – 08-08-08. Many in the western civilization consider 7 to be the luckiest number. You may have noticed casino slot machines with 777 as the winning numbers. But are these numbers really lucky for everyone? As it turns out, they may or may not be lucky for you depending upon your primary element and what attributes are needed in your life.&lt;br /&gt;Why is number 8 considered lucky? Its origin is in Feng Shui which considers sectors of a house or office represented by numbers 1, 6, and 8 to be lucky. Out of these lucky sectors, during the 20 year period from 2004 through 2023, the sector represented by number 8 is the luckiest.&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200903/1237930130.html"&gt;more: &lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-7654991064560367468?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/7654991064560367468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=7654991064560367468&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/7654991064560367468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/7654991064560367468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-is-number-8-considered-lucky.html' title='Why is number 8 considered lucky?'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-2358506827667160457</id><published>2009-11-01T13:24:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-11-01T13:24:50.966Z</updated><title type='text'>Lucky Numbers a big industry in China</title><content type='html'>Lucky Numbers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like everyone else in the world, the Chinese believe that some numbers are lucky whilst others are unlucky. Like a lot of Chinese superstitions, it often has to do with the pronunciation of the word. Lucky numbers are a big industry in China, where people can choose their own telephone number. Auspicious telephone numbers can get very expensive.&lt;br /&gt;Chinese Lucky Numbers: 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight is the luckiest number of all – because it sounds like the Chinese word for prosperity. House numbers and telephone numbers with the number eight in are extremely sought after, and the Beijing Olympics are due to start on 08/08/2008 at 8pm. The people at online casino 888.com certainly knew what they where doing when they chose the address. The Chinese pronunciation of eight, is ‘ba’, so 88 could be ‘baba’, which sounds like ‘bye bye’, so ‘88’ is used to mean ‘goodbye’ online.&lt;br /&gt;Number 4 is the most unlucky in China&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number four is not very popular at all, because it sounds like the Chinese word for death. Consequently, the fourth floor is usually the cheapest floor to live on – and is often occupied by foreigners who don’t understand the connotations of the number four.&lt;br /&gt;Chinese Lucky Numbers: 9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number nine is fairly lucky, because it sounds like the word for ‘a long time’, and is hence associated with longevity. Every year the 9th of September (9/9) is the day for the ‘Old People’s Festival’, just like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, but specifically for old people.&lt;br /&gt;Chinese Lucky Numbers: 2, 6 and 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number two is more lucky than not, because it suggests the idea of harmonious coexistence, and to some extent, reproduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number six is also very lucky, because the pronunciation sounds like the word for ‘flow’, suggesting that everything will go very smoothly. The car licence plate ‘AC6688’ recently sold for 80,000Y.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number seven was traditionally not very lucky, and was associated with anger, but it’s had something of a renaissance in recent years because it sounds a little bit like ‘wife’ or ‘family’.(&lt;a href="http://www.beijingmadeeasy.com/beijing-society/china-lucky-numbers"&gt;More&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-2358506827667160457?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.beijingmadeeasy.com/beijing-society/china-lucky-numbers' title='Lucky Numbers a big industry in China'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/2358506827667160457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=2358506827667160457&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/2358506827667160457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/2358506827667160457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/11/lucky-numbers-big-industry-in-china.html' title='Lucky Numbers a big industry in China'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-8481772658731763493</id><published>2009-10-30T18:15:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-10-30T18:15:26.735Z</updated><title type='text'>Eleven Lucky Lottery Number generators 4U FREE !</title><content type='html'>* Three films -- Ben-Hur (1959), Titanic (1997), and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003) -- have each won eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture of their respective years.&lt;br /&gt;    * The number eleven is important in numerology, as it is the first of the Master Numbers.&lt;br /&gt;    * Being only one hour before 12:00—midnight—the eleventh hour means the last possible moment to take care of something, and often implies a situation of urgent danger or emergency (see Doomsday clock).&lt;br /&gt;    * In Astrology, Aquarius is the 11th astrological sign of the Zodiac.&lt;br /&gt;    * Ocean's Eleven is the name of two American films.&lt;br /&gt;    * In Basque, hamaika ("eleven") has the double meaning of "infinite", probably from amaigabe, "endless", as in Hamaika aldiz etortzeko esan dizut!

Or is it maybe about taking opportunities you meet on the way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was once a man in a village, which was extremely mischievous. Everybody felt sorry for him. And indeed, he had no house, no wife and no kids. Nobody wanted him to work even as a servant!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His kind neighbours asked the wise man for help for the poor fellow. Surprisingly enough, though, the wise man said that some of the good we do to others is not making any change for them at all. He also added that there is something inside of us that makes us live the life we have. Kind people did not believe him, so he decided to prove it to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Half a year passed. The wise man asked the village to collect a golden coin from every house for the poor fellow without letting him know anything about it. So they did. In the middle of the village there was a bridge so crooked, that when you stand on one end of it you cannot see the other one. The wise man put a bag full of golden coins right behind the middle of the bridge and asked the poor fellow to cross it. The whole village was watching him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he crossed, the wise man enquired him, what did he see on the way. The poor fellow replied: “I saw nothing”. Everybody started steering at him. “I thought to myself “, he explained, “that crossing the bridge is quite easy, I cross it every other day. Therefore I crossed it with my eyes closed”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you ever feel like it, missing the opportunity simply because you pass it by with your eyes closed perhaps?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" width="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" height="12"/&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-4009983730189903814?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/4009983730189903814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=4009983730189903814&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/4009983730189903814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/4009983730189903814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/10/is-life-lottery.html' title='Is life a Lottery?'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-6629628331191511488</id><published>2009-10-23T22:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T22:23:21.542+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Random and/or Lucky Number Generator ?</title><content type='html'>A random number generator (often abbreviated as RNG) is a computational or physical device designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols that lack any pattern, i.e. appear random. Hardware-based systems for random number generation are widely used, but often fall short of this goal, though they may meet some of the statistical tests for randomness intended to ensure that they do not have any easily discernible patterns. Methods for generating random results have existed since ancient times, including dice, coin flipping, the shuffling of playing cards, the use of yarrow stalks (by divination) in the I Ching, and many other techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The many applications of randomness have led to many different methods for generating random data. These methods may vary as to how unpredictable or statistically random they are, and how quickly they can generate random numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the advent of computational random number generators, generating large amounts of sufficiently random numbers (important in statistics) required a lot of work. Results would sometimes be collected and distributed as random number tables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A growing number of government-run lotteries, and lottery games, are using RNGs instead of more traditional drawing methods, such as using ping-pong or rubber balls.&lt;br /&gt;(source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-6629628331191511488?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation' title='Random and/or Lucky Number Generator ?'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/6629628331191511488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=6629628331191511488&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/6629628331191511488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/6629628331191511488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/10/random-andor-lucky-number-generator.html' title='Random and/or Lucky Number Generator ?'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-270906422754549247</id><published>2009-10-18T13:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T13:32:43.418+01:00</updated><title type='text'>lucky mathematics numbers  !</title><content type='html'>There are several types of numbers that are commonly termed "lucky numbers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is the lucky numbers of Euler. The second is obtained by writing out all odd numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, .... The first odd number &amp;gt;1 is 3, so strike out every third number from the list: 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 19, .... The first odd number greater than 3 in the list is 7, so strike out every seventh number: 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, 25, 31, ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numbers remaining after this procedure has been carried out completely are called lucky numbers. The first few are 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, 25, 31, 33, 37, ... (Sloane's A000959). Many asymptotic properties of the prime numbers are shared by the lucky numbers. The asymptotic density is 1/lnN, just as the prime number theorem, and the frequency of twin primes and twin lucky numbers are similar. A version of the Goldbach conjecture also seems to hold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It therefore appears that the sieving process accounts for many properties of the primes. &lt;br /&gt;(A Wolfram Web Resource. &lt;a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LuckyNumber.html"&gt;http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LuckyNumber.html&amp;nbsp; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-270906422754549247?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LuckyNumber.html' title='lucky mathematics numbers  !'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/270906422754549247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=270906422754549247&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/270906422754549247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/270906422754549247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/10/lucky-mathematics-numbers.html' title='lucky mathematics numbers  !'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-2035572379719737449</id><published>2009-10-14T20:11:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T18:56:57.242+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Crystal Ball and your Lucky Lottery Numbers !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/John_William_Waterhouse_-_The_Crystal_Ball.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="96" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/John_William_Waterhouse_-_The_Crystal_Ball.JPG" width="61" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Your Lucky Lottery Numbers are here at LuckyNumbers 4U:&lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;  The Crystal Ball &amp;nbsp; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Art of scrying&lt;br /&gt;Main article: Scrying&lt;br /&gt;See also: Crystal gazing&lt;br /&gt;"The Crystal Ball" by John William Waterhouse: scrying in crystal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The art or process of "seeing" is known as "scrying," whereby images are seen in crystals, or other mediums such as water, and are interpreted as meaningful information. The "information" gleaned then is used to make important decisions in one's life (i.e. love, marriage, finances, travel, business, etc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By contrast, some professed seers say that they do not actually see images in the crystal itself, but rather that the featureless interior of the stone facilitates them in clearing their mind of distractions so that future truths or events will become known to them.

However, as every number entered is printed on 170 tickets which are usually sold in fractions (usually tenths), the El Gordo prizes are usually split between the multiple winners. Therefore the winnings single players receive are generally less than in the other popular lotteries and are far from the “winner-take-all” concept popular elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;Mega Millions reported world largest lottery prize of $390,000,000 hit on the 6th of March 2007 and shared between two payers, one from Georgia and another one from New Jersey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The largest Powerball jackpot was taken by eight co-workers from Nebraska meat processing plant who jointly bought a single ticket that has earned them $365,000,000  during the draw held on the 18th of February 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$193 million California Lotto jackpot was shared among three players in February 16, 2002, turning to be the largest in the history of the state lottery game. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$45.8 million appeared to be the largest Lotto jackpot in the Michigan Lottery records,  won in 1995 and shared by three winners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over $100 million jackpot, the largest in the history of the Florida Lottery, was taken in September 14, 1990 when six tickets holders split a $106.5 million jackpot, each getting $17.75 million. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An estimated $145 million Texas lottery jackpot was hit in June 19, 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Euromillions largest jackpot was taken on the 3rd of February 2006 when three players, two from France and one from Portugal, shared EUR 183 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italian SuperEnalotto largest lottery winning received so far was hit on the 4th of May 2005 and amounted to EUR 71,800,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;German National Lottery biggest lottery winning of EUR37,600,000 was taken on the 7th of October 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Largest UK prize was hit on the 6th of January 1996 and totaled at GBP 42,000,000.&lt;br /&gt;Compare Odds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the moment of writing Powerball has better chances to win than Mega Millions, namely 1:146 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it is expected that Powerball will change its double matrix in January 2009, making its jackpot more difficult to win (1:195 million) versus the current Mega Millions game (1:176 million). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mega Millions is expected to alter its matrixes as well; it is unknown when, or to what extent, as of August 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On January 4, 2009, Florida will join the Powerball game. They say this is one of the major reasons behind the change of Powerball double matrix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, Florida lotto has better odds than California lottery as the former sum up at 1:23 million while California Superlotto odds are at 1:41 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chances to hit Texas lottery are now at almost 1:26 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York Lottery's odds amount to 1:45 million while Michigan lottery's odds are only at about 1:11 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-435125321874460619?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/435125321874460619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=435125321874460619&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/435125321874460619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/435125321874460619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/10/facts-and-figures-about-online.html' title='Facts and Figures About Online Lotteries'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-3798865790489113944</id><published>2009-10-07T21:58:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T18:57:43.239+01:00</updated><title type='text'>NEW: The Lucky Cards - Lucky Numbers 4U Machine !</title><content type='html'>New at LuckyNumbers 4U:&lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers9.html"&gt; The Lucky Cards-Lucky Numbers Machine Machine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;The idea is present in 1738 [Swift Polite Conversation iii. 213] Well, Miss, you'll have a sad Husband, you have such good Luck at Cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘I'm always lucky at cards!’‥‘Yes, I know an old proverb about that. ‥Lucky at play, unlucky in—.’&lt;br /&gt;[1866 T.

But for any newcomer to China it won't take long to find out how madly in love the people are with lucky numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the day they are born to the day they move into the realm of the afterlife, for many Chinese, gathering auspicious numbers is a way of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unflinching faith in "lucky" numbers can be found everywhere: From gift money given on birthdays and red packets distributed every Spring Festival (in sets of two for a stronger effect), to the apartment, floor and even street numbers where people live, to the amount of "thank you" money paid by the groom to his fiancee's bridesmaids on their wedding day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traditionally, the upper class in Hong Kong spend huge amounts of money at auctions for precious "lucky" registration numbers for their cars. Held regularly since they were first introduced in 1973, these licence plate sales draw huge crowds, including the city's rich and famous, who want to secure their wealth by driving around with a stamp of approval from the gods of fortune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the nation's economy creating a prosperous middle class, especially in the Pearl River Delta region, Guangzhou is now getting in on the act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Guangzhou Enterprises, Mergers and Acquisitions Service (GEMAS) just held its own licence plate auction last weekend, the first since the previous "number selection payments" scheme was abolished in September 2004 due to controversy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The auction raised more than 8.2 million yuan (US$1.03 million), said Li Zhengxi, GEMAS general manager.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People are mostly interested in plates that have the numbers six or eight because they believe these numbers will bring them good fortune."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The highest price paid at the two-day auction was for plate number AW6666, which was bought for 272,000 yuan (US$34,000) by an anonymous bidder on behalf of a motorcycle dealership in Zengcheng, Guangzhou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some see social benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman surnamed Sun, after buying plate number PC888, said she made the purchase "because I know the money will be used for infrastructure, which is good for society."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hong Kong auctions, usually held once every two weeks, have been bringing in record returns in recent months, partly because of the region's resurgent economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;read more:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-05/20/content_4576062.htm"&gt;(Source: China Daily) Editor: Mu Xuequan&lt;/a&gt;www.chinaview.cn 2006-05-20 17:03:13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-3534936093419900494?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-05/20/content_4576062.htm' title='Craving lucky numbers in daily life'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/3534936093419900494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=3534936093419900494&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/3534936093419900494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/3534936093419900494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/10/craving-lucky-numbers-in-daily-life.html' title='Craving lucky numbers in daily life'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-7769809410084437049</id><published>2009-10-01T19:44:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T18:58:30.080+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Lucky Lottery Magic Mouse Numbers 4U !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/magicmouse2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="56" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/magicmouse2.gif" width="96" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U has your lucky numbers in the &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers_magicmouse.html"&gt;MagicMouse Lucky Lottery Numbers Machine&lt;/a&gt; but &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_the_Magic_Mouse"&gt;Wikipedia &lt;/a&gt;has another Magic Mouse:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merlin the Magic Mouse is an animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic mouse, who starred in five Looney Tunes shorts late in the series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a nightclub magician (he usually preferred to be called a prestidigator, though he could never pronounce this correctly) who traveled around for work. Much of the humour of the character derived from the fact that, while he was often regarded as a cheap stage magician, he knew some very real and powerful magic tricks. His magic words were typically "Atascadero Escondido!" Merlin also has a sidekick, appropriately named Second Banana, which is a slang term for a magician's assistant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daws Butler provided the voice of Merlin and Second Banana in the first short, Merlin the Magic Mouse; Larry Storch performed the voices for the other four films.

G. Wells, first published in 1895 and later directly adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in all media. This 32,000 word novella is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. Wells introduces an early example of the Dying Earth subgenre as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(source:&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Machine"&gt; Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers_timemachine.html"&gt;The TimeMachine in Lottery Lucky Numbers&lt;/a&gt; uses your Birthdate and date of the Lottery, increase your chances in the Lottery now with more personal numbers !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-1230624719623061397?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers_timemachine.html' title='The Time Machine in Lottery Lucky Numbers ?'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/1230624719623061397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=1230624719623061397&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1230624719623061397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1230624719623061397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/09/time-machine-in-lottery-lucky-numbers.html' title='The Time Machine in Lottery Lucky Numbers ?'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-3970231874362821145</id><published>2009-09-26T17:01:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T18:58:59.966+01:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Win the Lottery with Your Personal Lucky Numbers</title><content type='html'>It is generally acknowledged that to win a lottery you need to be lucky. Let our  FREE &lt;a href="http://www.lotterybunny.com/lucky-number-generator.aspx"&gt;Lucky Number Generator&lt;/a&gt; or the &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers_timemachine.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U: TimeMachine&lt;/a&gt;  calculate your Free Numerology numbers, be persistent in your efforts and your chances will go much higher than when you play with simple random numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make it simple, Numerology is a science about your lucky and unlucky numbers. It has started with the ancient cultures. Originated from the Ancient Egypt, Numerology is included in the Indian Vedas, Chinese Circle of the Heavens, the Hebrew Kabala, and was part of the Phoenician and Chaldean cultures. It was refined by the ancient Greeks and developed further on by modern numerologists. Pythagorean Numerology makes it possible for you to discover the numbers that correspond to your personality and destiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal numbers describe your character and your lifetime opportunities. When you apply your personal numbers, you can link your first name with your birth date and add luck to your lottery ticket.  Numerology symbolizes the connection between your name, your time, your life path and your destination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can apply this system any time you need to make a choice- any time you want to play with numbers. When playing a lottery, naming a baby or deciding to buy a house or business, check Numerology Meaning for your numbers. Bear in mind though that numbers you select have cyclic frequencies that accept or reject you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the teaching of the ancients it is said that “there are no accidents”, no coincidences and we attract what “is meant to be”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your personal lucky numbers are calculated from the numbers that correspond to the letters of your name. Inverted pyramid is used to reduce your name number to a single number- the root number of your name. The numbers of your month, day and year of birth are used to find your destiny. An interaction of birthday numbers is used to calculate your age category and the best lucky number for the present time. The date of the lottery draw will be your final sixth number for your lottery ticket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This simple system provides you with a key for entering a lottery.

He kept seeing the same people winning big scratch-off prizes over and over again, and he asked Team 4 what was going on, so we decided to check it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verona businessman Jerry Laskoski plays lottery scratch-off games every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How many years have you been doing this?" Parsons asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Probably about the last five or six," Laskoski said.&lt;br /&gt;"How many times have you won $1,000 or more?" Parsons asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Never $1,000 -- $100, $500," Laskoski said.&lt;br /&gt;That puts Laskoski in a class with most daily instant lottery players.&lt;br /&gt;Then, there are those in a class by themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moon Township real estate manager Joe Tarquinio has hit 13 times for $1,000 or more on scratch-off games in the past three years. He hit twice for $10,000 -- and recently for a quarter-million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tarquinio declined Team 4's request for an interview. So did Indiana jewelry store owner Gary Wyant, who has scratched for $1,000 or more 14 times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others have been even luckier with the scratch-offs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Seibert, of McKees Rocks, hit for $1,000 or more 23 times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debra Bitler, of Shillington, in eastern Pennsylvania, holds the record with 38 instant lottery wins topping $1,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It looks to me like those 38 wins are pretty remarkable," Carnegie Mellon professor Paul Fischbeck said.&lt;br /&gt;Fischbeck figures out odds for a living. Team 4 asked him and statistics professor Chad Schafer to calculate the odds of what Donna Goeppert did.&lt;br /&gt;Goeppert, of Bethlehem, Pa., played a scratch-off game last year that only had five top prizes of $1 million. Goeppert won two of those $1 million tickets. That's right, two out of the five.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There were about 7.2 million tickets, and five $1 million winners. If she played 100 times, the odds of her winning two $1 million tickets was about one in 420 million," Fischbeck said.&lt;br /&gt;If you're thinking Goeppert's luck was enhanced because the lottery has a bias favoring the eastern part of the state, think again, lottery director Ed Trees said.&lt;br /&gt;"It's a random seeding of winning tickets through the universe of a game," Trees said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New York contractor that manufactures Pennsylvania's instant games makes all the decisions about the big winning tickets, Trees said. Lottery employees have no idea where they are.&lt;br /&gt;"The pack number and winning tickets that may be in there -- there's no association between that, for obvious reasons, so people here have no idea how many winners and what winners are in that pack," Trees said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West Newton, Westmoreland County, is the luckiest community in this part of the state. Since 2003, four residents there have hit for $100,000 or more on scratch-off tickets. That's one in every 700 people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, the winners live in West Newton, but none of them bought their tickets there.&lt;br /&gt;"It's my take that since we haven't sold any of those winners, even though the people are from West Newton, well, it's time we sold one," John Markle said. "So we probably have one in our rack, and you should stop in any day and pick one up, so odds are, we're holding one."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was one year ago that a young man in New Bethlehem, Clarion County, made headlines by winning $1 million in a scratch-off lottery game. What didn't make the news is how many other times Jamie Hale has won.&lt;br /&gt;"I think it was the fifth ticket I bought, I won $1,000 on it. I figured that was enough for me to play for the day," Hale said. "Next day, I thought, 'I'm still feeling lucky.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one 48-hour period last year, Hale hit for $1,000 four times on scratch-off tickets.&lt;br /&gt;His secret?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Some days, I'll buy a whole roll," Hale said.&lt;br /&gt;"A whole roll?" Parsons asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Yes," Hale said.&lt;br /&gt;A roll costs $300. And yes, buying a lot of tickets does improve your odds of winning.&lt;br /&gt;But Hale has a few other secrets as well, like buying the last ticket on a roll.&lt;br /&gt;"I'll wait until the end of the rolls on the $10 tickets, and I'll hit for either the $100 winners, I've hit for $250 winners on them, and a couple I hit for $500," Hale said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other winners told Team 4 that they'll only buy an even- or odd-numbered ticket.&lt;br /&gt;Some said they'll never buy the first ticket on a roll.&lt;br /&gt;Others claim that if they hit for any amount, they won't play the next ticket in that game.&lt;br /&gt;And virtually all big winners said they check the lottery Web site to see how many top prizes on a game are left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't be fooled by the lucky lottery players, experts say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What's not showing here are all the people who bought thousands and thousands of tickets and have very little to show for it, and there are many, many more of them than the person who was lucky in this case," Fischbeck said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's something else you'll need to know if you play the scratch-off games: The Pennsylvania Lottery has changed the numeric code that it used to print on winning tickets.&lt;br /&gt;A winner always had the winning amount placed in parentheses among other numbers. It was a fail-safe way to make sure you didn't toss out a winning ticket.&lt;br /&gt;But the lottery has done away with that code.

can the lotto be won by some lottery strategies or is it completely random?  Is the person who closes their eyes and throws darts at a set of numbers as likely to win as someone who sits down and works out the mathematical possibilities of the winning numbers?  The truth is, the chances of winning the lottery, especially the jackpot is extremely small.  For example, the current chance of winning the Mega Millions Jackpot is 1 in 175,711,536!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people pick numbers randomly, perhaps choosing what is on their mind at any given time or use the random number generator offered with every lottery, where the computer will pick for you.  Although there is no rule that says you won’t win with randomly generated numbers, it is said that using some kind of lottery strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can increase your chances of picking up a prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how to pick a set of numbers that will give you a good stab at picking up a prize?  One of the older lottery strategies we can look at is the hot and cold number idea.&lt;br /&gt;According to the method, hot numbers are ones that have been drawn recently and cold numbers are once that haven’t been drawn in a while.  If you were to use this method, you could visit the official lottery website and see what numbers have been drawn, usually for the last 12 months then work out which numbers to pick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are pros and cons to choosing numbers using this lottery strategy.  On one hand, you could use this system to figure out what numbers are being drawn regularly and use this for your entry.  Some numbers do seem to appear many more times than other numbers.  However, these numbers may have just used up their popularity and may not appear again for a while – there’s no complete guarantee that this pattern will work.  Some people may prefer to go for lesser drawn numbers, figuring that they must be due a turn to appear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also the Lottery wheel system.  Lottery wheeling is a strategy that says that arranging the numbers you choose in a certain way will improve your chances of winning smaller prizes.  In other words, it is a system that will improve your chances of picking up a number of smaller prizes, rather than aiming for the jackpot.  There are three types of wheel called Full, Abbreviated and Key wheels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full wheel will give you the biggest set of numbers from the numbers you have chosen – therefore it is the most costly type to play with but will give you the biggest chances of winning.  The most popular type of wheel is the abbreviated wheel which will give you a smaller amount of combinations but guarantees one winning ticket from the set of numbers you get.  For an even more economical choice, consider the key number wheel.  With this wheel you can choose just one lucky number (say your birthday) and the wheel will give you combinations that will feature your numbers of choice.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when you play with the wheeling lottery strategy, you need to play within your own budget.  If you are playing by yourself, you may need to use the key wheel system – if you are playing in a syndicate, you may be able to use the full wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing you could do is try playing using a lucky number generator based on numerology.  Numerology is a system that deals with the link  between numbers and mystical, physical or living things.  There are many lottery number generators online that take your first and last name, then your date of birth to generate your lucky lottery numbers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They use certain systems such as the root number of your first name, the number created by your birth date added together, the sum of your first name numbers and so on to pick numbers with some meaning to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is not deep rooted scientific or mathematic fact behind this kind of number generator – but it is a lot of fun to use and takes the bother out of choosing your own lottery winning numbers! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whichever lottery strategy you decide to use, make sure you have the belief in your numbers and remember to keep that ticket safe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" &gt;Creative Commons &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-1383476969782779222?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/1383476969782779222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=1383476969782779222&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1383476969782779222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/1383476969782779222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/09/lottery-strategies.html' title='lottery strategies'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-6707520799755962585</id><published>2009-09-13T21:19:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T19:01:44.258+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Lottery Wheeling Systems...</title><content type='html'>Wide popularity of lotteries and people’s desire to win them have produced numerous systems that aim at reducing lottery odds. Wheeling is perhaps the most popular of all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wheeling System is in effect a way of organising lottery ticket numbers. It is designed to help lottery players to improve their chances of winning multiple-tier prizes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wheeling is suitable for the players who would like to play with a larger amount of numbers than the set required for a lottery ticket. For example, most of the popular US lotteries would ask a player to put 5 or 6 numbers in the lottery ticket. However, a player might want to play with 7 or more different numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case wheeling systems will apply various mathematical formulae to arrange a group of numbers a player selects into various combinations that would give either full or partial coverage of all possible combinations of numbers selected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the popular examples of wheeling is about some Polish-Irish businessman named Stefan Klincewicz who bought up almost all of the 1,947,792 combinations available on the Irish lottery. He and his associates paid less than one million Irish pounds while the jackpot stood at 1.7 million pounds. Ironically however, one of the few combinations he did not cover was a winning one. He still managed to cover three winning tickets, but with the "Match 4" and "Match 5" prizes. Surprisingly though, Klincewicz made a small profit overall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally speaking, chances to win a jackpot of a popular lottery are quite low. Among the most popular US lotteries they currently range from 1:176 million in Mega Millions to 1:11 million in Michigan lottery to mention a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The aim of the wheeling systems is to improve the players’ odds. Wheeling systems do not target at winning the main jackpot of the lottery. However, they aim at winning smaller prizes provided some or all of the winning numbers the player wants to wheel are present in the lottery’s winning numbers set.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wheel made for a lottery player who would like to play with 8 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) in a Pick 6 lottery will have 28 combinations in total. However, these combinations will include all permutations of eight selected numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the countless lottery systems available on the Internet full and abbreviated wheel are perhaps the most popular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full Wheel&lt;br /&gt;A full wheel builds all the possible combinations that can be created with the set of numbers a player selects.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full wheel would be suitable for the players who would like to receive maximum coverage of the prizes if some or all of the winning numbers are in the numbers set he selected. Provided all of the lottery winning numbers are in the group the player selected, he would hit the lottery jackpot and additional prizes. Should he have only some of the winning numbers in his set, he would be guaranteed to have multiple prizes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, however, full wheels are quite expensive to play with. A player, who wants to play with 10 numbers in the Pick 6 lottery will receive 210 combinations in a full wheel while 15 numbers for a same kind of lottery will give him will give him as much as 5005 combinations.&lt;br /&gt;Abbreviated Wheel&lt;br /&gt;An Abbreviated Wheel is an economical alternative for a full wheel and is therefore quite popular among the players. Abbreviated Wheels won’t cover all possible combinations, however, it will guarantee at least one winning ticket if a certain amount of numbers drawn fall within the wheeled number set.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As opposed to a Full Wheel an Abbreviated Wheel for 8 numbers for a Pick 6 lotto game will only require 7 combinations, hence, only 7 tickets will need to be purchased. If 4 of the 6 winning numbers are among the 8 numbers the player wheels, he will have at least one successful combination matching 4 winning numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main reason behind opting for abbreviated wheel is that it saves money still retaining reasonable chances to win second-tier prizes. As it saves money it creates an opportunity to buy more tickets, pick more numbers, hence, increases chances to win even more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key Number Wheel&lt;br /&gt;The main difference between the abbreviated wheel and the key number wheel is that some number, special to a player, will appear in every combination of the wheel. Key number wheel would normally have fewer combinations than abbreviated wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To win with Key number wheel 2 conditions need to be met:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•    Similarly to the abbreviated wheels, all of the winning numbers must be among the numbers the player wheels.&lt;br /&gt;•    The "key number" has to be among the winning numbers drawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-6707520799755962585?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/6707520799755962585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=6707520799755962585&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/6707520799755962585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/6707520799755962585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/09/lottery-wheeling-systems.html' title='Lottery Wheeling Systems...'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-8601673336057377145</id><published>2009-09-13T21:18:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T19:01:59.909+01:00</updated><title type='text'>California Lottery: do a good deed it will come back to you.</title><content type='html'>California Lottery:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Pasadena, California man who wishes to remain anonymous has given credence to the theory that if you do a good deed it will come back to you.

09/09/09 - to tie the knot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Justin Allsopp, a 29-year-old child advocate, proposed to Barbara Fitzgerald, she already had the date in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nine is my lucky number," Fitzgerald, 28, an attorney, explained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two also discovered that the Irish say the luckiest day to get married is Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I did some research and saw that there were two or three days that every culture agrees on as lucky days," said Fitzgerald, who will wed in Sandy Hook, N.J., near her and Allsopp's hometown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nine, nine, nine is just lucky all around!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quirk of the calendar, which won't roll around again until September 2109, is considered especially auspicious for Chinese brides because the Mandarin word for "nine" sounds like the word for "long-lasting."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one bride-to-be, Silin Trenh, 28, explained, "We picked [the date] because the Chinese meaning of the number nine is longevity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trenh, an office manager, and her fiancé, Thanh Von, a 31-year-old lab tech, who both split their time between Manhattan and Boston and are both Chinese-American, are planning a small ceremony at City Hall with their close friends and family, followed by a celebration at City Hall Restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The luck of nine isn't just in the sound of the word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicole Lin and Joe Hill, 40, who both work with antiquities, explained that nine, because it is the highest single digit number, is associated with the Emperor of China and so will add an extra touch of class to their wedding day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We struck upon the date of 09-09-09 a little late in the game," said Hill, of Brooklyn, admitting the couple only picked the day about five months ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, the last-minute wedding will work out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two chose to incorporate Lin's heritage - with an updated twist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though traditionally, the bride serves the groom's parents, Hill and Lin, who lives in Queens, agreed to serve each other's parents as a sign of unity. "We're serving tea to our elders," Hill said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to add an extra twist to the festivities at their Riverside Church wedding, the bride, who is in her 30s, will walk down the aisle in an antique Edwardian wedding gown sewn in 1909.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more about all three couples and their big day this Sunday in a special Down the Aisle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aeisinger@nydailynews.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-9048264841379229249?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2009/09/08/2009-09-08_lucky_numbers_cultural_beliefs_behind_choice_for_090909_weddings.html' title='Lucky numbers, cultural beliefs behind choice for 09-09-09 weddings'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/9048264841379229249/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=9048264841379229249&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/9048264841379229249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/9048264841379229249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/09/lucky-numbers-cultural-beliefs-behind.html' title='Lucky numbers, cultural beliefs behind choice for 09-09-09 weddings'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-9160624578418979762</id><published>2009-09-13T21:03:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T19:02:47.257+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Akshay Kumar, Born 09.09.67, Says, 9 Is Lucky For Him</title><content type='html'>Akshay Kumar, Born 09.09.67, Says, 9 Is Lucky For Him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 9, 2009 by admin   Filed under Bollywood Show biz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;akshay-kumar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar rings in his 42nd birthday on 09.09.09.“Yes, I’m ecstatic,” he told Times of India. Akshay had just flown in to Mumbai after a 60-day schedule overseas. He concedes that 9 is his lucky number and, of course, hopes that life will continue to spring pleasant surprises for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides being on air currently, in the most talked about television show, the action hero also has two back-to-back film releases lined up. Blue on October 16, and De Dana Dan in November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His birthday resolution, he says, “Is to take it easy. I don’t wish to do more than two/three films a year. My desire is to spend more time with my wife Twinkle and son Araav. Araav is growing up fast… and I want to be around him whenever I can. It’s great to watch your son grow and do the normal father-son bonding that all dads long for.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like many of his superstar colleagues does he dream of owning a cricket team next IPL season? “No,” replies Akshay, “because I don’t have the expertise to treat cricket as a business. I love cricket, I understand the game but I’m not equipped to handle my own team, at least not this coming season.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is he superstitious about 9.9.09? “I’m superstitious when I’m told to be, the rest of the time, I walk in a daze… I’m just glad I wasn’t born on 6.6.06, I would have been the devil child or something… Now I’m just the emergency number in England ‘999’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it a good thing? Only my mother knows! If you are in need of help and you live in London just dial ‘me’ and the emergency services will be right with you… ha-ha-ha! But what I love about 9 is that all wonderful things have happened around that number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me, my son, my sister and her daughter were all born in the ninth month, my parents’ wedding was in the ninth month, my first house and my last house I bought in the ninth month, all my cars are numbered 9 and I’ve never had a crash off set yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a gifted number, but knowing me, I’ll probably get hit by lightning and slashed with a silver streak in my hair and get scarred with a 9 on my forehead on my birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="12" src="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/images/redstar.png" width="12" /&gt; &lt;sub&gt;Your eleven Lucky Lottery Number Generators are here:  &lt;a href="http://www.luckynumbers4u.com/luckynumbers.html"&gt;LuckyNumbers 4U&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2957565571913667651-9160624578418979762?l=luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.indyalive.com/2009/09/akshay-kumar-born-090967-says-9-is-lucky-for-him/' title='Akshay Kumar, Born 09.09.67, Says, 9 Is Lucky For Him'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/feeds/9160624578418979762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2957565571913667651&amp;postID=9160624578418979762&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/9160624578418979762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2957565571913667651/posts/default/9160624578418979762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luckynumbers-4u.blogspot.com/2009/09/akshay-kumar-born-090967-says-9-is.html' title='Akshay Kumar, Born 09.09.67, Says, 9 Is Lucky For Him'/><author><name>Hans van Hove</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108154514952056504054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4VYxZu1X55U/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/s02QyGXkN9o/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957565571913667651.post-6245430819491854244</id><published>2009-09-02T22:22:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T19:03:05.582+01:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Play UK National Lotto</title><content type='html'>National Lottey is very popular in the UK.

Finally, she wrote an offer that ended in the number “18,” which in Hebrew symbolizes “chai,” which means life. The ploy was successful. Her client signed a contract for $384,118.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Margaret Rome, a Baltimore-are practitioner, began selling homes 20 years ago, she drove a Porsche 944. In its honor, she ended the price on her first listing with 944. It sold within a week. Since then she has used the number for every property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin, says there is truth in picking the right number. Redfin research shows that homes with a list price ending in “500” sell for more than properties whose price ends in three zeroes. They also spend slightly less time on the market. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is this? Nobody knows for sure. "You shouldn't sweat the weird stuff, because it will just drive you nuts,” Kelman says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: Washington Post, Ylan Q.
