Lotto Jackpot Hit for Six

Lotto Jackpot Hit for Six No fewer than six tickets won the Lotto jackpot on Saturday 28 January. The jackpot was worth £3,964,818 so each of the six winning tickets has landed an equal share worth £660,803. The numbers that saw the Lotto jackpot hit for six were 10, 12, 25, 28, 31 and 40, and the Bonus Ball – which wasn’t required for the jackpot itself – was number 01. With five out of six main numbers all falling in the ‘days of the month’ range of 01 to 31 it probably wasn’t surprising that the jackpot was won, but having six jackpot winners is still quite an eye-catching outcome!

EuroMillions Players Hit the Bullseye

EuroMillions Players Hit the Bullseye Gareth and Catherine Bull lived up to their surname last Friday 20 January by hitting the EuroMillions jackpot bullseye – an achievement that won them £40.62 million. Gareth, who is as a self-employed builder, had made a spur-of-the-moment decision to buy a Lucky Dip ticket after rain disrupted his work, and that spontaneous act has changed his life – and that of his family – forever. Gareth and Catherine, who live in Mansfield, are now the seventh biggest lottery winners in the country, and the numbers that put them in that position were 02, 10, 22, 27 and 28, as well as the Lucky Stars 06 and 08.

EuroMillions Jackpot Cap Changes

EuroMillions Jackpot Cap ChangesIn February 2012 the EuroMillions lottery game will make changes to the way the jackpot cap works. As regular readers will be aware, the jackpot cap is the level at which the EuroMillions jackpot cannot grow any further, no matter how many rollovers take place. Right now the cap is set at €190 million, and that cap is set to increase by €5 million if a €190 million jackpot is won. The rules concerning this cap and its ability to increase in size had been a tad confusing for some players, so the new rules will make things easier to understand.

Health Lottery Special Jackpot

Health Lottery Special Jackpot Play the Health Lottery this Saturday 21 January and if you match all five numbers selected you will win a top prize of £250,000 instead of the usual £100,000. That’s a cool quarter of a million pounds that is up for grabs, and because the top prize isn’t shared in the Health Lottery game you won’t win a penny less even if there is more than one winner! The cost of tickets will of course be exactly the same as usual, so this special Health Lottery draw will effectively be giving you extraordinary value for money, and it’s even possible to win £250,000 without matching any of your numbers!
