Personally I really dislike lotteries with endless rollovers. But some games do stop this madness by using a ‘roll down’ rule.

The UK Lotto is one of them.

This week there are a lot of really big winners from around the world. In the UK, the landlord of the Mallard pub just posted a million pound win and in Canada, a couple posted an even larger $60 million Lotto Max win.

Dean and Stella Hardman have learned that winning a large lottery jackpot opens a lot of possibilities. After their £6.75million lottery win in 2006, there were a lot of letters asking for money, one even suggesting they buy the Bury FC team.

People working for the government of the city of New York have just been advised that they can no longer join an office lottery pool if the participants include bosses and subordinates.

Some lottery winners would rather have a yearly stipend, but not Charles “Chuck” Svatos. At the ripe age of 92, no one is wondering why he chose the lump sum option.

For a Cumbrian couple, the silver lining in the clouds came courtesy of the wife finally being cleared of cancer closely followed by a significant lottery win. 

Have you ever wondered how people react to receiving a $10 million lottery prize? Watch this.

Monte Huskill was watching the game on TV as he scratched his Extreme Millions instant ticket.

Can you imagine the feeling when you thought you had won $60,000 dollars only to be proven wrong by the store clerk? That just happened to Robin Walker and husband Brett McCoy.

Miguel Pilgram was like most lottery players. He regularly bought $20 worth of tickets per week but was not so diligent in checking the results. Good for him the clerk at the gas station where he buys tickets insisted he check.

Apparently a prank repeated often enough becomes the truth as a lottery player’s constant claims of a lottery jackpot win finally came true.

Lee Davies was such a prankster that when he finally won £100,000 playing the lottery, his fiancee will not believe him.
