British couple win £1m in lottery draw for second time in two yearsNews Story
A UK couple who have won 1m (US$1.5 million) in the EuroMillions lottery for the second time have said they just can't believe it . David and Kathleen Long from Scunthorpe, who won their first 1m in 2013, scooped a big money prize again on Friday night, beating odds of more than 283bn to one.

Will we ever see a double win?Reply
What are the chances of the same six numbers coming up twice in a row in the UK national lottery? About 1 in 200,000,000,000,000 (200 million million). Not great odds so you would have to be a real mug to choose last week's numbers again.... Well perhaps, but no more of a mug than if you chose any other six numbers. It's just another case of the gambler's fallacy, once a given set of numbers has already come up the chances of those numbers coming up again are no better or worse than any other se

Pa. lawmaker wants to give lottery winners right to remain anonymousReply
One of the most important decisions for new winners to make is whether to opt to go public or remain anonymous. If a winner decides to talk publicly about their win, Camelot s PR team will organise a press conference and handle all media interest on their behalf, removing the anxiety that can accompany talking about a big win. If they have requested to remain anonymous, Camelot takes its obligations and duty of care to protect winners privacy very seriously. Unless a winner agrees to take ful

Camelot, Pa. Gov. extend contract expiration dateReply
Wow - so the state attorney ruled that the proposed deal volates the state constitution... no huge suprise that Camelot Global extended the deadline to sign the deal - it would be a huge money maker for the UK firm (is it a UK firm? or just a firm who handles the UK national lottery?)... no huge surprise that the Corbett administration will challenge Ms. Kane's ruling in court (they would have to get the court to say it DIDN'T go against the state constitution before the contract would be si

How A Ryo-Catteau Machine WorksReply
Some corrections: The UK National Lottery uses the Criterion by Smartplay (originally manufatured by Beitel, but Beitel has since been absorbed into Smartplay), not Ryo-Catteau's Tulipe as you had mentioned. In fact, all of the UK's machines are manufatured by Smartplay. Also, Quebec does not use the Lantana as you had mentioned, but is actually a loyal Smartplay client. The Revolution draws their unique Astro game, while the Messenger draws la Quotidienne, la Mini, and Extra. An

Poll - PB & MM vs a National LotteryReply
Quote: Originally posted by goldrush on July 4, 2006 If should not be a matter of a State Vs Federal. Let's have both, and let the people decide. Some will decide to play their local state lottery, some will play the US Lotto, some will play both. And the vocal minority who are opposed to lotteries can choose not to play any! EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY! As the Federal Government needs more revenue, and while a US lottery would not solve all it's financial woos, it would raise billions of dollars,
