| NetLotto Version 2.4 |
 |
|  Sorry,
folks, but I decided that the first
cut of Version 2.4 just wasn't getting
the results that I wanted for 3 ball
lotteries. So it was back to the
drawing board for more research,
inspiration and perspiration! Whatever,
it paid off and we are now getting
fabulous results. It should all be
finalized, packaged up and distributed
in the next
few days. Some new games will also
be included.
The price is going up to $39.95, but the new version will be distributed
free to all current users.
The new wheeling systems foreshadowed in the last Newsletter are
also now under development.

|  Mega
Millions is building up again with
tomorrow's jackpot an estimated $53
million. But it's totally eclipsed
by Powerball at the moment, with
next Saturday heading for a whopping
$205 million! Players all over the
country are rushing to get a piece
of the action.
NetLotto
remains the only system ever to
have
selected a Mega Millions winning ticket! Check

| Some Funny Numbers |
|
|  There
have been some unusual number combinations
drawn in the last few days.
For
example, in Florida Fantasy 5 on
October 1, the first four numbers
were 1, 3, 5 and 7 and then two days
later, they were 4, 5, 6 and 7! Ten
days earlier, we had 9, 11, 13 and
15. In the Colorado Lotto for September
20, the last four numbers were 33,
35, 37 and 39. Interesting coincidence,
or indications of patterns at work
that we are yet to discover? In Oregon,
three successive Megabucks draws
had the numbers 13 and 31 and the
previous two each contained 3 and
4. It's very unusual for two numbers
to be repeated in successive draws. |

|  At
the height of his career operating
an illegal lottery called "the
numbers," Otis Ray was running
four-digit bar tabs in his $70,000
Titans stadium suite and rubbing
elbows with Nashville's elite.
Now, just months out of prison, Ray,
53, is working as night watchman at
a local Comfort Inn and rebuilding
his life on $6-an-hour wages.
Ray
spent nearly 25 years working the
underground lottery. Just one
month after he was sent to federal
prison in December 2003, the Tennessee
Lottery sold its first ticket.
The
legal version of his old enterprise
has players anticipating a Powerball
jackpot drawing next Saturday night
estimated at $205 million.

| A Bit of (Aussie) History |
|
Modern
lotteries began in Australia. The state of
Queensland introduced the Queensland State
Lottery of Australia in 1917 and was the first
lottery to start operations in the 20th century.
In
1930, the newly elected state government
of New South Wales, led by Premier Jack Lang,
decided the only course of action to solve
the critical funding situation in the state’s
hospitals was to start a State Lottery. This
was during the Great Depression. Money was
scarce and unemployment stood at 30%. There
had been a major influenza epidemic 10 years
previously and it was feared that the hospitals
would not be able to cope with another.
As
had happened in the U.S., the announcement
created a political storm. The opposing political
parties joined forces with the churches to
condemn the decision. It was said that “Lotteries
are evil and degrading” and that “It
is going to demoralize the youth of our State.” On
the 22nd of June, 1931, the Lotteries Act
was proclaimed, with a former Commissioner
of Taxation appointed the first Director of
State Lotteries. In August, the pavements were
filled as people queued for more than three
blocks outside the State Lottery Office to
enter the first lottery.
| Tip of the Week |
|
| A
simple tip this week. When you get
your lottery tickets, ALWAYS sign
them on the back and write your name
and phone number. Otherwise, losing
a winning lottery ticket is
just
like losing money. It's finders keepers
and the lottery organization WILL
give the prize money to the person
holding the winning ticket. If the
ticket is signed and contains your
name and phone number, they'll contact
you for confirmation.
A
simple precaution, but one that could
be the difference between a life
changing and a devastating experience.
While
NetLotto can't protect you from losing
a ticket, it can help the ticket
to be a winner. It may be the best
$29.95 you've ever
spent!
