The man who lost a $5 million lottery ticketNews Story
Like many who buy a Lottery ticket, Martyn Tott never seriously contemplated the possibility that he would actually win. Of course, it would have been wonderful, but he was largely happy with his rather humdrum life. When he realized he'd scooped the 3,011,065 jackpot, however, his opinion changed somewhat.

Illinois lottery, everything looks different.Reply
Hurley, The inability to copy paste winning numbers is major if you use that to predict numbers. Like hell if I am going to manually re-enter in every games numbers. The payout information looks no different, the old one had the combos, the payout amount, and the number of winners, where do you see more ? Are you sure the management took over Jan 1? Lots of places I see they took over July 1. Camelot on July 1 replaced Northstar Lottery Group, I see the Illlinois lottery website s

Camelot to change UK Lottery from 6/49 draw to 6/59 draw!Reply
Hi Crystaltips, Ludicrous that Camelot can brazenly describe the addition of *31 million* combinations to the twice-weekly draw as 'exciting' for the player!! Exciting for Camelot Directors is nearer the truth! You (or someone here) may know if there is a person or group in the UK to complain to? I think this is a blatant and outrageous breach of the UK Trade Descriptions Act. Adding 31 million combinations and saying it will be 'exciting' for the player can only be described a

EuroMillions lottery jackpot of $102 million goes unclaimedReply
It is indeed regrettable that you will be so quick to assign with impunity, lazy moron status to the winner without knowledge of the facts to backup your allegation of laziness and imbecility, which is what moron means and connotes. In the eyes of Camelot, the winner is a missing winner, but it is also possible that the winner's status could be, far much more severe than a mere missing winner, and (heaven forbid) could have the parallel status of a missing person or worst still permanently un
