A Lotto Optimism Report published by the National Lottery reveals that 58% of British lottery players believe optimistic people are able to boost the moods of those around them.

One French and One Austrian euromillions players shared the Megajackpot from Friday 6th March's draw.  Each winner takes home €50,000,000, which, at current exchange rates, is around £44,890,000.  You saw that right, nearly forty-five million pounds.  No credit crunch in their households anymore then!

A lottery MegaJackpot is a jackpot that is a lot bigger than a regular jackpot because it has been designated as a special event. All lottery games are exciting, but those that boast a MegaJackpot are even more so because they give players a chance to win a much larger prize. MegaJackpot games are often staged as a mark of celebration, so we can have a Birthday MegaJackpot to celebrate the birthday of a lottery, or a Christmas MegaJackpot to celebrate the festive season.

A new EuroMillions rule has been introduced (effective from Friday 6 March, 2009) that will limit future jackpots to no more than €185,000,000. This is still €2 million more than the highest EuroMillions jackpot on record, so players won’t be missing out on anything. In fact, the new EuroMillions rule will actually benefit some players.

There is less than a week to go before the March EuroMillions Superdraw takes place, and with a megajackpot of £85,000,000 up for grabs, players are getting pretty excited. It therefore makes sense to preview the Superdraw, especially since Friday 6 March also brings a new EuroMillions rule into play.

There will be a EuroMillions Superdraw held on Friday 6 March, 2009, it has been announced. This will follow hot on the heels of the coming EuroMillions double rollover jackpot, giving National Lottery players plenty to get excited about.

There is a EuroMillions double rollover jackpot up for grabs this Friday 27 February, 2009 thanks to nobody being able to match all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars in the previous draw. This means that the next EuroMillions jackpot will be worth an estimated £37 million!

A woman in Perth won the Lotto jackpot of £7.4 million on Saturday 06 February, 2009, and attempted to claim her prize by taking her ticket to a local shop. The winner, who has opted to remain anonymous, visited the David Sands shop the day after the draw, but was told that she would have to contact the National Lottery organiser directly.

The EuroMillions lottery game is five years old this Friday 13 February, 2009, and players in all nine participating countries will be keen to win a jackpot-sized share of the birthday prize fund. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24, so the odds of you buying a ticket and making a profit are good, and if you win the top prize you’ll probably think that all of your own birthdays will have come at once!

Although plenty of individuals play the lottery online, far fewer lottery syndicates do the same. This is a shame because buying syndicate tickets online offers a number of advantages that can help any lottery syndicate to run more smoothly.
