As a midwife Ruth Breen of Poolstock, Wigan is  used to delivering babies.  But after having won in the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle draw, it is the Lottery’s turn to deliver to her the sum of £1 million.

A worker at Shaw University has just won $2 million in the Powerball Lottery after she matched five of the numbers drawn.  Her prize was doubled because she paid for the Power Play feature. 

There are some interesting lottery wins this week, including those of a Dane who beat the entry deadline to win big, an Irishman who wins after nearly losing his house, and a group of Canadians who won after the man designated to purchase tickets persisted despite a ffailed first attempt.

A group of fourteen co-workers at the Kimberly-Clark plant had a simple solution for increasing their chances of winning: contribute $5 per week for 35 chances to win the Powerball jackpot. 

It seems like, lady luck sometimes tests those whom she would like to visit.  Take the case of David Primmer who heads a syndicate of eight employees of United Rentals; his first attempt to purchase tickets at the store failed when his bank card did not work, so he purchased the syndicate’s entry at Jubber’s Convenience as soon as he got to back Labrador. 

Marilyn Fields enjoys playing the lottery.  When she bought a Powerball ticket at the Food Lion on Six Forks Road in Raleigh, she never imagined that it was time for her to reap the rewards for all the times she played without winning anything big.

A story of lottery luck in Denmark illustrates just how blessings find their way to their intended recipient.  A Danish man won the lottery after just beating the deadline for submitting his entry ticket – he purchased and registered his lucky lottery entry just 81 seconds before the deadline! 

Lady luck can be a bit cruel sometimes.  There are many of us for whom the dream of a big lottery jackpot has yet to be realized, yet a man who has taken a vow of poverty goes on to win a huge $259.8 million Powerball jackpot! 

The lottery is played by people dreaming of a dramatic financial turn-around.  Some players even have some sort of premonition before they finally land the big one. 

A retired man wins a jackpot sure to make his sunset years just a little easier.  A man wins after 26 years, proving that good thing really do come to those who wait.
