A new lottery has just launched in the UK. Which is a fairly significant event given that the new game is not being run by the National Lottery or Camelot.

John Holder bought a  ‘Jumbo Bucks’ scratch card whilst at a gas station. He scratched it, and realised he was $50,000 richer before he even left the store.

Wendy Rush, 67, just hit the top prize on a ‘$2,500 A Week for Life’ scratch card.

Although she lives in Eureka, a small city of 5,000 people in Illinois, she is not known to have shouted Eureka on realising her win.

Charmaine Watson, 31, won £2.3 Million on the UK Lotto six years ago. And now it turns out she used some of that money to help fund an anti-bullying rock musical that opens in London in October.

Here’s a timely reminder to keep your lottery tickets safe.

A Western Australian woman nearly missed out on a $1.2 Million jackpot when she couldn’t find her winning ticket.

Elida Betancourt was screaming so madly her son thought she was having a heart attack.

But Elida had actually won $54 Million on the Mega Millions lottery.

Nicky Cusack accepts it may seem sad to some people, but she enjoys her job stacking shelves at Asda.

That may seem one of the dullest jobs in the world for many people, but Nicky, 46, has many friends at work and enjoys the routine.

That $108.8 Million Powerball jackpot has been claimed. It has gone to a couple from Abingdon, Maryland.

Apparently the couple are undecided if to go public about their win, but so far have chosen to remain anonymous whilst they consider options.

Audelia Ramirez from Alhambra, California just won $9 Million on the California SuperLotto Plus.

And and 73 year old grandmother she was quick to thank her 6 children and 8 grandchildren for the big win.

Now that the EuroMillions changes are in place, we’re starting to get used to having two draws a week.

But I do keep getting asked what time the draw is, and where can I watch it on TV?
