SUPERLOTTO PLUS JACKPOT ROLLS TO $60 MILLION: Next
Wednesday's California SuperLotto Plus jackpot has
rolled over to $60,000,000! A single jackpot winner of $60 million who chooses
the 26 graduated annual payments would receive approximately $1.5 million the
first year and those payments would graduate to more than $3 million by the
26th year (before taxes). A single jackpot winner who chooses the cash option
would receive the estimated cash value which
is roughly half the announced jackpot or $30 million (before a 25% federal
withholding).
... Over the past 5 years, the seven most frequently drawn
numbers in California SuperLotto Plus have been 9,
20, 5, 1, 13, 14 and 26. The seven least frequently drawn have been 37, 31, 39,
40, 42, 41 and 33.
U.K.
NATIONAL LOTTERY: Lady Luck has smiled on a 40-year-old mum from Stevenage securing her a place in the Lottery
Ladies' Super League after she scooped a sensational £8,874,425 Lotto Rollover
jackpot. Sharon Creighton matched all six numbers in the draw held on Saturday 12th February 2005. Divorcee
Sharon, who has a 16-year-old son James, plans to swap her Vauxhall Astra for a Mercedes sports car and move from her
comfortable three-bedroom end-of-terrace into a luxury home. She said: "It
was hard to make ends meet in the early years bringing up James and sometimes
it seemed like I didn't have a penny. But I've always worked hard to provide
for us. I am really going to appreciate having money from now on. The win could
not have come at a better time for Sharon,
as it means she will be now able to visit her brother Andrew in Australia.
She explained: "The win is simply amazing. Andrew and his family are
emigrating later this year and I thought I would never see them again. I could
never have got enough money together to visit but now I will be able to stop
over at loads of fantastic places on the
way."

NEW MALAYSIAN GAMES ADDED: New games from around the world
are continually being added to NetLotto. Most recently, the two most popular
games in Malaysia,
Super Toto 6/49 and Toto 6/42 Jackpot, had their rules
and all of their past history programmed into the package. NetLotto now has
rules for sixty five games around the world, including the United
States, Britain,
Canada, Europe,
Australia, New
Zealand, Hong Kong,
Singapore and Malaysia.
A BIT OF HISTORY: The first National lottery in the United
States was started by the Continental
Congress in 1776 to raise funds for the American
Revolution. Many of the Founding Fathers sponsored their own private lotteries,
including Benjamin Franklin, who used lotteries to finance cannons for the
Revolutionary War, George Washington, who financed construction of the Mountain
Road (which
opened expansion West of Virginia) by operating a lottery and Thomas Jefferson,
who organized a lottery to dispose of most of his property after his death!
MEGAMILLIONS EXCITEMENT MOUNTS: Mega Millions players across
the U.S. are
feeling the excitement as the jackpot continues to grow. When Tuesday’s winning
numbers were drawn, they turned 342,708 tickets
into Mega Millions winners. Each of those tickets
matched one of Mega Millions’ nine prize levels. That includes six tickets
that each won $175,000 and 26 tickets that
each won $5,000. Since no ticket matched all
six numbers, the jackpot grows to an estimated $53 million for the Friday, March 25, 2005 drawing. Mega
Millions is played in Georgia,
Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan,
New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Texas,
Virginia and Washington.
Officials in California
have announced plans to join later this year.
TOO MANY POWERBALL WINNERS: Sales
of Powerball lottery tickets across the nation
are down drastically in recent months. The reason: People are too frequently beating
the odds, which happen to be 1 in 120.5 million.
In the past 12 weeks, players have won a record five Powerball jackpots, none
larger than a mere $41 million. The streak of luck has meant the jackpots don't
roll over enough times to build the huge prizes of $100 million or more. It's those giant amounts that bring out the
lines of people who don't normally play and send ticket
sales through the roof. "The game is getting hit way too often," said
Joe Willingham, marketing director for the South Dakota Lottery. It's a
difference of more than $3 million for South Dakota's
state treasury so far this fiscal year.
... Maybe too many NetLotto customers are playing Powerball
:-)
THIS WEEK'S TIP - AVOID GEOMETRIC PATTERNS: Back in the days
when the Washington State Lottery was a 6 from 44 game,
the organizers used to track player number selections. The number selection
1-2-3-4-5-6 was the 10th most popular combination, being chosen by typically
1,200 players every week. So had those numbers come up for a $1 million prize,
each "lucky" player would have won just $833.33, which
could be paid as $3.47 a month for 20 years or around $400 in immediate cash!

Remember
When Your Computer Was Fast and Reliable?
When it
started up first time every time, never crashed and never froze up?
When a
problem in one program didn't crash the other programs running in
five other windows? When your internet connection stayed on
all day?
Does your
computer now require restart after restart just to keep going?
Or is it
simply getting slower and slower each day?
