EuroMillions Helps More Money Go To UK Good Causes

November 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The Euromillions is a big draw and Diane Thompson; Chief executive of the UK National Lotto, confirms that recent statistics show record high sales for UK lottery tickets. This is especially good news for the good causes that Camelot give based on National lottery funds.

Diane Thompson recently undertook a tour of Britain so she could visit many projects and sites that have received funds from the National lottery Good Causes fund, one of which was the restoration of the Florence Institute, which cost over £6.4 million and received £3.7 million from lottery funding. The Chief Executive said that is was good to see the lottery making such an important difference to these kinds of projects.

So despite the economic downturn, it seems the lottery and Camelot are thriving. They posted record sales of £5.8 billion for the past year which shows an increase of 7.5 % on the previous year. Over £1.7 billions of lottery money went to good causes, and £2.9 billion was paid out in prizes. Camelot have worked very hard to bring in new players to the lottery through effective marketing and increasing the retail distribution. Last year was the best year ever for the national lottery, which goes against some other world lotteries who have experienced a decline in the amount of people playing.

Here in the UK 73% of the adult population play with an average spend of £3 to £3.50 per week. This means that we’ve got millions of people playing, spending relatively small amounts compared to many other lotteries around the world. Many other lotteries have far fewer players who spend more, like the USA where only 40% of their adult population play with a spend of $20 to $30. Thats’a huge amount of money when times are tough!

Here in the UK we have created 2,700 millionaires, but it’s believed that more than 10,000 have been created through friends and family who have won the UK or Euromillions jackpot draws.

Diane Thompson was delighted that the statistics show continued growth of the UK Lotto and operators Camelot say they plan to keep moving forward through innovation and the need to keep progressing technology.

The UK lotto on Saturday 5th November will go off with a bang and has an estimated £10 million jackpot and the Euromillions continues to be one of the biggest lottery games.

Another way of improving your chances of winning  is through a lottery syndicate and LoveMyLotto offer the chance to play in both the UK and Euromillions lotteries PLUS giving you a chance of wining the £1 millions daily draw and the Premium Bonds, which is a genius concept.

EuroMillions £101 million Jackpot has been won by UK player

October 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This Friday’s Euromillions £101 million jackpot was won by a British ticket holder; the 3rd biggest ever UK payout!

Once again a life-changing win will catapult this winner or winners, if a syndicate has won, into the top 1,000 richest people.

This Euromillions jackpot would instantly make the winner the 703rd richest person in the UK; on a par with David Bowie and moving them ahead of celebrity couples such as Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, who all have fortunes of exceeding £50 million.

After 5 draws, the Euromillion jackpot once again built up to this record breaking sum, which is making the Euromillions THE lottery to play twice a week.

Back in July, Colin and Christine Weir were lucky enough to win the biggest UK prize; an incredible £161millon. This unassuming couple from Scotland are now almost as rich as the Beckhams.

Here is how the Weirs have spent their money

  • Bought a home for son Jamie, 22, and daughter Carly 24, who is a photography student.
  • Provided driving lessons for them both
  • Jamie would probably quit his job at a call centre
  • Start their own charity
  • Travel to Cambodia, Thailand and Australia, as Ayers Rock has always been a goal to visit

We hope Mr Weir was joking when he said he wanted to keep his reliable Suzuki SX4 and six-year-old Suzuki Ignis! however Christine Weir was thinking bigger when she said they were looking into buying a Lexus Prius  Hybrid.

A National Lottery spokesman said: ‘This is amazing news – we are absolutely delighted, we have champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the winner or winners to lottery HQ’.  ‘This is the third-biggest winner this country has ever seen and follows hot on the heels of the Weirs. ‘As well as making big winners, EuroMillions contributes to the more than £30million raised every week by The National Lottery for Good Causes here in the UK.’

Lottery bosses said ‘demand for tickets peaked between 5pm and 7.30pm before the draw as punters rushed to try their luck’

We know that 1 in 4 jackpot wins are scooped by lottery syndicates, so playing in a proffessionaly managed syndicate is a good way to play. LoveMyLotto offer entries into the UK Lotto and  Euromillions twice a week, the £1 Million Daily Draw PLUS entries into the Plus 5 so for as little as £12 a month, you can extend your winning opportunity without lifting a finger. Simply choose the syndicate that best suits your pocket and they will let you know when your Syndicate wins via email.

Located in 10 high profile locations the cars on display in the airport are the actual cars that can be won, so basically they are fully paid for and just waiting to be won by a lucky winner!

So if the EuroMillions or UK lotto is not your thing, then why not have a flutter here and see if your luck will bring you a brand spanking new Supercar to your front drive.

Prize Competition Winner for BOTB

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The Best Of The Best monthly supercar prize competition is one of the most exciting and glamorous competitions on the internet.

But at BOTB there are plenty of other competitions that will give you the chance to win something expensive or exotic for just a few pounds.

But it’s always great to hear about winners and on the BOTB website they have just announced their July 2011 Supercar Winner!

Mr Jan Bergqvist from Sweden had been participating every month for well over a year, after seeing Best of the Best at Heathrow Airport, where they had a display in one of the terminals. As a supercar fan Jan feels fantastic to have at last won and entering the competition each month has paid off BIG TIME!

Jan Bergqvist said “My first contact with Best of the Best was at Heathrow airport several years ago. My wife and I bought a ticket, but had no luck. I found the game interesting so when I learned you could participate online, I entered again.
I was on a holiday trip on the Swedish coast when I got the winning phone call. I noticed it was a U.K. number but thought it probably was one of my business contacts in London so didn’t answer. The following day I listened to the voice message – the line wasn’t very clear, but I did hear “Best of the Best”, at which point it crossed my mind that it could be something to do with my entering the competition – I quickly called back! It was the best call I’d made for some time, as you can imagine!”

Mr. Bergqvist won with a Category 1 ticket, so he can now choose from an incredible selection of sports cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin, Audi and the list goes on…

There were also some very happy runners Up Prizes of £200 Worth of Competition which went to a further 10 very lucky winners.

Monster Euromillions Jackpot reaches £77 Million!

August 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Here we go again – the Euromillions Jackpot has rolled over for a seventh time so Friday sees another massive jackpot of £77 Million!

Once again this jackpot is proving tricky to win, so for those jackpot hunters, you have another stab at winning this eye popping jackpot. The Euromillions really is one of the most exciting lotteries in the world because of the speed it grows.

Of course the UK lotto on Wednesday 24th August gave 3 very lucky UK winners over £3 Million EACH, which would change anybodies life. The odds of winning the UK Lotto much easier than the Euromillions, so it’s always worth playing Wednesday and Saturday, but it’s the draw of the big wins from the Euromillions that really captures everyone’s imaginations.

Of course the UK players have the added benefit of bagging £1 million in the Euromillions Raffle, and once again a lucky UK winner got their raffle ticket matched.

As far as the more modest prizes were concerned, 17 players won £24,628 each when they  matched five main numbers only, and 47 players matched four main numbers and both Lucky Stars to win £4,454 each. So a total of more than 3.18 million prizes were won in the draw as a whole, so plenty of players emerged from the game last Friday with something to smile about.

There are some overdue main numbers at the time of writing that  are due and these are; 43, 02, 09, 21 and 41, and the most overdue Lucky Star numbers are 09 and 06. It will be interesting to see if any of those make an appearance in this next Friday Draw

LoveMyLotto offers a lottery formula that gives just 21 syndicate members a chance to play in the world’s first and only all-inclusive multi-lottery syndicate system.

Not only is the UK Lotto Jackpot heading towards a £10 Million Double Rollover Jackpot, but we also have the Euromillions rolling over to a staggering £64 million!

This past weekend, lottery players from the UK had a real bonus, as both Friday’s Euromillions and Saturday’s UK Lotto boasted rollover jackpots. So Friday we all enjoyed the Euromillions rolling over again with another mega jackpot which is estimated at £64 million, but the shocker was a double rollover on Saturday for the UK Lotto and that is heading for a £10 million Jackpot!

The UK jackpot is the biggest since 16th April 2011, when four players shared a £16 million double rollover jackpot. But one lucky single Lotto player wins this double rollover jackpot, they would end up being the biggest single UK Lotto winner since 9th March, when lorry driver Matthew Breach scooped a £17.8 million triple rollover jackpot on the lottery.

So here’s the question; would this £9.7 million double rollover jackpot change your life? Well why not find out and play the UK Lotto on Wednesday AND Euromillions on Tuesday and see if you can match those all important winning numbers.

In other UK lottery news, a £600,000 Euromillions ticket is still unclaimed from the 5th August. The ticket which was sold in Barnsley matched five main balls and one Lucky Star in the draw but the winner has yet to come forward.

Lottery Winning Can Improve Your Life

July 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Annette Rooke, who won £2.4 million on the UK Lotto 4 years ago, still spreads her luck by sending every family member a lucky dip ticket in their birthday cards.

Annette from Calcot attended a party of the region’s largest winners, which was held in the run up to the £166 million Euromillions draw, down in East Grinstead, Sussex

Annette Rookes husband said they continue to by a lottery ticket each week, but now take the opportunity to do this online. Mr Rooke was on the verge of retiring from the prison service when their lottery win arrived, so their win just made everything so much easier.

They both agree that this win has changed their lives for the better, as it’s enabled them to help their grown up son and daughter, and afforded them some lovely dream holidays, travelling first class of course.

Mr Rooke said ‘It has really helped to make life easier for us. We don’t lead a life of luxury all the time; I still clean the car myself, like I always did.’

Over 2,500 lottery winners around the UK have become members of the Millionaire’s Club, and at the party in East Grinstead, it was a great chance for 20 of those winners from the South East who have total winnings exceeding £56m to come together.

LoveMyLotto offers a lottery formula that gives just 21 syndicate members a chance to play in the world’s first and only all-inclusive multi-lottery syndicate system.

A Note Of Caution From Jaded Jackpot Winner

July 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

‘Buy as many Rollers as you want… but they won’t necessarily make you happy’

Ron Ullah scooped a jackpot win of £5.177 Million back in Oct 2002, but says although he thought he was given the golden key to happiness, there are only so many holidays, cars and jewellery you can buy before you it all gets boring and meaningless.

After enjoying a lifestyle of travelling between his homes in Cyprus, Florida and Essex, along with his yachts and rolex, he now, 9 years on from his lottery win is once again working running a very successful cake-making business.

At 57 years old, he now commutes from Essex to his shop is Suffolk; a 100 mile round trip, and to be honest, looks like he needs a holiday!

But Ron is back doing what he loves; creating cakes in his Ipswich shop called Carousel. Having aquired the £1 million house, £155,000 Rolls Royce, horses grazing in his paddock, and the lake and garden to die for, he decided that his life was empty without a job and a purpose.

Ron Said ‘One thing you can’t buy is a sense of purpose,’ he says, perched on a stool in Carousel’s caramel-scented kitchen. ‘I’m very hands-on by nature and there I was, with everything my heart desired — except a goal to aim for. ‘If you’ve strived all your life and then, suddenly, what you were striving for is handed to you on a plate . . . it’s weird. It feels fantastic, yet at the same time there’s something missing. ‘When you first realise you’ve got all that money, you’re hit by about 100 emotions. I went cold — I still go cold thinking about  it — then I was euphoric, but then immediately this dark cloud of anxiety came over me and I started to worry. ‘You try to be rational, but you can’t be when you’ve suddenly got £5 million in your account. And I went a bit silly.

He gives an example of that ‘silliness’. ‘I was at a charity auction after England won the Rugby World Cup against Australia, and I bid for a shirt signed by all the team. The price was going up by the thousand: eight, nine, ten, when I hear myself saying “£20,000”.‘Everyone stood up and cheered, and I felt like the bee’s knees for half an hour. But the shirt is probably worth only £300 now.

‘So the Scottish couple who have won this massive EuroMillions prize are going to need all the help and advice they can get, because that kind of money is too much for one person to handle: £161 million is a ridiculous amount of money. ‘It would have been better if the jackpot had been divvied up among several winners — transforming a lot of different lives. I feel for the winners.

‘I took the decision to go public because I thought it would be impossible to keep £5 million quiet. Someone was bound to find out and I wanted to be in control of the way it was handled. But £161 million — it’s overwhelming.’

Calgary Stampede is Drawn and The Italian SuperEnlotto Rolls Over

July 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

LoveMyLotto announce that winners of the BIG ticket ‘Stampede’ in Calgary will be drawn this Wednesday. Prizes will include big-ticket items such as a dream home, RV, Boat and nice big US Trucks!

This lottery has caused a dilemma to organisers as they have had to change the draw to 5pm on the 20th July! This lottery prize draw began 99 years ago and Sunday marks the close of the ‘Stampede’, which will be televised on Global TV.

The Italian SuperEnalotto

Although the Euromillions has over shadowed the Italian SuperEnalotto over the past few weeks, it has been rolling over during that time and currently stands at €43 Million. This popular Italian Lottery jackpot also enjoys many roll overs, so it is one worth considering playing.

Latest Superenalotto Lottery numbers for 16 July 2011 were: 17, 20,38,51,53,74,5,79

Like the Euromillions this lottery also keeps rolling over and without a winner many more players roll up to buy a ticket or two! The SuperEnalotto is currently climbing at a rate of approximately €1 million each week, but as the jackpot crosses the €50 million mark we will see some big leaps in the jackpot total.

The SuperEnalotto is renouned for being a very hard lottery to win, but that does not seem to stop players from taking a cheap flight to enjoy a cappuccino and take the chance to buy some SuperEnalotto tickets. Of course you can find an online ticket site to give yourself the chance to play in another rollover crazy lottery.

Of course you could choose to visit, LoveMyLotto offers as they offer a lottery formula that gives just 21 syndicate members a chance to play in the world’s first and only all-inclusive multi-lottery syndicate system. Find out why you should join this lotto syndicate and improve your chances of winning the UK Lotto, EuroMillions plus get entered into a 1 Million Daily Draw
