Finished year-long logo graphics overhaul project
I am happy to say that as of late last night, I wrapped up a year-long effort to overhaul all of the lottery game logo graphics across every lottery covered on Lottery Post.

Lotteries in other countriesReply
Another issue I am worried about is (in the astronomically remote situation of my winnning some money), when playing in the SuperEnalotto, or other European national lottery, winning will be through one of these agents, that may or may not be properly authorized by the lottery organization in question, which ultimately pay the prize money.
