There’s an old proverb that says “If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well” and it certainly seems to be the maxim of a guy who lives in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona who recently bought six Powerball lottery tickets and picked the same identical numbers for each ticket. Then – guess what? He hit the ONE MILLION bucks second tier prize, not just once, but SIX times to rake in a cool SIX MILLION! WOW – way to go!

That’s hot on the heels of Berryville, VA, resident Virginia Fike who only a couple of weeks ago pulled in a $2 MILLION Powerball prize after presenting two tickets with identical numbers! Now who says that numerology doesn’t pay off?

The anonymous winner from Phoenix picked up his $6 MILLION in winnings over the course of several visits to the Arizona Lottery’s headquarters in Phoenix, making Arizona a number two hotspot in the US hotspot rankings for second tier $1 million prize winners. In addition there were more than 50 winners in April taking home at least $10,000 each, including Alex A Defiore, who nailed a very useful $6.4 million.

Here are a couple of things you might like to know about April 25, – it was the day in 1846 that open conflict began over the disputed border of Texas, triggering the Mexican-American War; April 25, was the day in 1965 when Boston Celtics beat LA Lakers, 4 games to 1 in the 19th NBA Championship; April 25, was the day in 1994 when 14 inches of snow in fell Southern California and April 25, 2012 will be the day long remembered if you’re the Powerball lottery ticket holder with the numbers: 4 – 25 – 29 – 34 – 43 and Powerball 29 printed across the front, because April 25, is the day those very same numbers spilled out of the Powerball lottery machine and made you rich – very, very rich, in fact rich to the tune of $172,700,000!

In addition to the ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY TWO MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND dollar jackpot; ten players matched five mains and will collect at least ONE MILLION bucks each; twenty seven more matched four mains and the Powerball to earn themselves at least TEN THOUSAND dollars apiece! Altogether 679,759 players managed to get in on the prize action so it looks like April 25, 2012 is very definitely a red letter day!

The next Powerball game is on Saturday with the jackpot reset to $40 MILLION; but if you want to while away a little time before Saturday and fancy a crack at some other big jackpots – well look no further!

Picture the scene; you pop into your local store to pick up a newspaper, which you’re intending to give to a poorly relative who’s in hospital – you ask the store assistant to check whether the two Powerball lottery tickets which you recently purchased had won anything and were then told, by that same assistant, that your two slips of paper are actually worth more than the $600 maximum the store are permitted to pay. So you double check with the Lottery offices who confirm that your two tickets are in reality, worth a MILLION bucks each and you’re now $2 MILLION richer!  WOW – that’s just got to be the stuff of fairy tales!

Well that’s exactly what happened to Virginia Fike of Berryville, Virginia. A few weeks ago she stopped off at the Olde Stone Truck Stop on Martinsburg Pike in Clear Brook to buy two tickets for the April 7, Powerball draw – her picks were based on her parent’s anniversary, their ages at that time, divided by the year they were married. She was visiting her mother in hospital, when they saw a scroll on TV about there being two $1 million Powerball winners; so the next day Virginia stopped at the store to pick up The Washington Post for her mother, asked them to check her lottery tickets, and the rest – as they say – is history!

The next Powerball draw is later today and the jackpot currently stands at a very tasty ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO MILLION greenbacks – and your name might just be engraved on the jackpot box, but only if you’ve got a ticket. The place to buy that ticket is right here at WinTrillions where you can play not just Powerball but many other of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries – just choose your game, pick your numbers – then sit back and enjoy the ride.

To use that old hackneyed phrase, “It ain’t over ‘till the fat lady sings.” Well she’s now sung her song and the final chapter in the long running who’s won, who didn’t win, last month’s world record $656 million Mega Millions jackpot has now been written.

There were three winning Mega Millions tickets sold for the March 30, drawing, but it took a week for the first winner – a regular lotto player who decided to remain anonymous – to come forward in Kansas. This led to much speculation and rumour about the identity of the two remaining shareholders until on April 10, a syndicate of three anonymous public school employees from Maryland – known as the “Three Amigos” stepped forward to claim their share of the prize pot which just left one more winner to collect.

Well at a news conference which took place yesterday in Red Bud, a farming community about 40 miles southeast of St. Louis, a retired southern Illinois couple Merle and Patricia Butler laid claim to the third and final share of the record breaking Mega Millions jackpot.

Under lottery rules multi-million dollar winners must appear at a press conference, to “assure other players that prizes are paid to winners”. However in the State of Illinois anonymity is not an option which why the Butlers came forward publicly; the delay gave them time to meet with financial and legal advisers and to allow them to properly prepare for the cameras.

The lucky couple won their share of the booty after buying their ticket at the Moto Mart in Red Bud; additionally Moto Mart’s owner will also receive $500,000 from the lottery as a bonus for selling the winning ticket. So it looks like party time in Red Bud has arrived!

Well there was no jackpot winner in Tuesday’s Mega Millions draw so the jackpot rollover has now risen to a very handy SIXTY FIVE MILLION dollars. Mind you, there was no jackpot winner in yesterday’s Powerball draw either, which means the next Powerball jackpot has climbed to a very, very, very handy indeed ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO MILLION bucks!
