Morrow County undersheriff Sten Myren had never won more than $60.  The odds of winning the top prize is 1 in 6.1 million and he only plays when the jackpot is at least $5 million, so he did not expect much. 

A syndicate composed of seven bricklayers have just matched five numbers in the July 8th draw of the National Lottery.  Now the group who call themselves the Tyneside Trowels will share a £69,283 prize.

It usually takes years for most people to win significant amounts from the lottery.  Perhaps that is why many winners fail to immediately realize that good fortune has visited them. 

This postman must have never thought he would ever win big in the lottery: he had his ticket in his pocket for all of three days and he initially thought he had won £20,000.

This week yet another syndicate is celebrating; a group of Alstom employees have just won a million dollar prize.  An English winner still travels by bus even after collecting a £6 prize.

Good things have happened to a Tallapoosa man this week.  Just a few days after starting to work as a mechanical contractor Joshua Holdbrooks is $377,777 richer courtesy of the lottery.

This week, a roofer’s lottery play reached new heights when he posted a £1million lotto win, a couple just became $1 million richer thanks to the Dream Lottery, and regular lotto player Dorothy Mills finally lands a $2 million Powerball jackpot.

A group of 29 Alstom employees have a lot to smile about these days.  The workers, who have been playing together for sometime have just posted a million dollar win on the US Powerball!
