The Ross school teachers had used two proven strategies in playing the lottery:  they organized themselves into a lottery playing syndicate to increase their chances, and they played regularly. 

A lottery win has come to the aid of a  young couple who have been prevented from having their dream wedding by financial constraints.  News that a huge £120 million jackpot was up for grabs prompted Billy Baldrey to play a lucky dip entry while his partner and their two sons were out.

A man who runs a very small woodworking shop receives welcome relief from financial stress via an instant lottery ticket win.  A Set For Life ticket Brendan O’Connell had purchased at Coleman’s Food Centre in Mount Pearl turned up a big winner. 

There have been so many reports of lottery syndicates winning jackpots of late.  It now seems like the lottery is better played as a team.  The most recent winners are 23 members of a group working for Brooklands Primary in Brantham, Suffolk . 

In playing the lottery, it seems that luck smiles on those who keep playing.  At least that is true in the case of Erek Larson.

Larson had earlier stopped at Nidy’s Grocery store in Titusville to cash lottery winnings of just $25, part of which he used to buy a new 50x The Cash instant ticket. 

This Friday is a pretty special one for EuroMillions in the UK.

On top of the regular draw, they will also be making 25  new instant millionaires.

Irish lottery players are in for a parcel of service improvements this Christmas season as the new operator Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI) officially takes over operations. 

It may seem nearly impossible for a man to win two lottery jackpots on the same day, but that is exactly what Kenneth J. Stokes was able to do. 

Are there such things as lucky jobs or lucky companies?  Many groups of people working for the same company have won significant jackpots by playing the lottery as a syndicate but it is rather hard to replicate the luck of the people working at South County real estate company Coldwell Banker Premier Group; three of their real estate agents have won jackpots in the last two years.

People have different reactions to winning.  Some jump up and down, very few take a calm ‘I knew I would win’ attitude, and then there are some who go into a state of shock.
