Divination is the art of foretelling the future or the discovery of hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers. Just in case you reckon you need all the help you can get to pick a lottery winning line and feel that divination might be the next best thing since sliced bread, here’s a few methods you might like to try!

Toss a coin, throw dice, pick cards from a playing card deck; even bibliomancy. This is the system of using your favourite book or even the Bible to pick your numbers – the method is simple – just open the book to any page and then use numbers found on that page. Bernie Bobowicz of Clifton, New Jersey was going through his mother’s old Bible and saw some numbers. Then he got a funny feeling — a voice inside telling him to play those numbers. He won $7 million in the New York Lotto.

Unfortunately divination didn’t seem to help any Powerball players over the weekend as nobody matched 5 – 33 – 41 – 54 – 59 and Powerball 13 or they would now be $120 million richer; that said 3 players did grab ONE MILLION bucks each by matching 5 mains and another 37 players raked in TEN grand apiece by matching 4 mains and the Powerball.

No outright winner means only one thing – another rollover! The next Powerball draw will be played on Wednesday Feb, 1 and to whet your appetite for divination the jackpot has now climbed to ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY MILLION dollars ($170,000,000) now that’s enough to cover your stay at the brand new Shahi Mahal Presidential Suite at Raj Palace, Jaipur, India for the next 4,250 nights (food extra)!

The only drawback to making your reservation at the Shahi Mahal is you probably need to win the jackpot first and to win that – you’ll need a ticket; however you don’t have to be a divination guru to know that you can buy your ticket for the next Powerball draw from right here at WinTrillions where you can also buy tickets for many other of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries!

Here’s something to get you thinking: if you lose a hundred bucks you’ll probably feel a bit hacked off; however should you WIN a hundred you’ll no doubt feel pretty good! Now the problem is this; if you’ve just lost the $100 the feelings you have about losing it, hack you off TWICE AS MUCH as any excitement you feel from winning the $100! Is that heavy, or what? This phenomenon is known universally as “loss aversion!”

Still need to be convinced? Toss a coin – heads you win a $100; tails you lose a $100. If you’re not comfortable with a straight 50 / 50, win / lose choice, then decide the biggest amount you ARE comfortable losing? To measure your degree of loss aversion, just divide $100 by your chosen amount.

Now that’s pretty much what we do whenever we decide to buy a lottery ticket, except we don’t do it scientifically! Most of us would probably be very uncomfortable about buying one million greenbacks worth of lottery tickets on the possibility of winning a multi-million jackpot, always assuming you had a spare million in the first place, but will quite readily spend one dollar on a lottery ticket to win the same jackpot, simply because one dollar is what we ARE comfortable with. Sociologists and anthropologists reckon loss aversion has helped humans survive in earlier environments, when the opportunity for gain by hunting down mega-beasts to eat was perceived to be far greater that any potential danger arising from the hunt itself!

So there we have it – if ever proof was needed – playing the lottery is obviously in our human DNA – so what are you waiting for? Never mind “mega-beasts” there are some “mega-million” jackpots up for grabs this very week, including Powerball, Super Enalotto, Indiana Hoosier, and EuroMillions with a collective total of TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT SEVEN MILLION dollars between them, and that’s just from 4 lotteries – the only requisite is a ticket and you can get one of those right here at WinTrillions, where you can play the world’s biggest and richest lotteries, without ever leaving your personal comfort zone or having to hunt down or be eaten by a mega-beast!

You must remember the song “Rainy Night in Georgia”, written by Tony Joe White way back in 1962 which became an instant hit for R&B vocalist Brook Benton in the spring of 1970. Well let me tell you the rain in Georgia has stopped, the sun’s about to shine and a whole new way of life beckons for one or more Georgia residents after matching the numbers 10 – 22 – 24 – 36 – 49 and Mega Ball 33 in last evening’s MegaMillions draw to take the first prize jackpot – a staggering SEVENTY-ONE MILLION dollars!

That’s the highest MegaMillions jackpot payout since Dec. 27 when husband and wife Daniel and Christine Bruckner from San Jose, California hit the New Year running after nailing the $206 million top prize.

Ten ticket holders; 2 from California, 2 from Illinois, 1 from Kentucky, 1 from Massachusetts, 2 from Michigan, 1 from Oregon, 1 from Pennsylvania matched the 5 main numbers to pull in up to $250,000 apiece and another twenty-two ticket holders grabbed themselves up to $16,000 each by matching 4 mains.

Just in case you didn’t already know on Jan. 24, 0041, the Roman Emperor and cruel despot Caligula was assassinated by his disgruntled Praetorian Guards: on Jan. 24, 1848, James Marshall found gold in Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California and on Jan. 24, 1976, Cleveland Cavaliers beat Milwaukee by 43 points (132 – 89) – so, I guess, Tuesday Jan. 24, 2012 will now hold special significance for a whole bunch of yesterday’s lottery winners!

The next Mega Millions draw is on Friday with a starting pot of $12 million; but before then, in just a few hours time, the beefed up Powerball draw takes place and there’s a ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY MILLION dollar jackpot! Remember, you can buy your tickets for MegaMillions and Powerball as well as many other of the world’s biggest lotteries right here at WinTrillions – just follow the links and you’re in the game!

Fresh from its body-building makeover the bigger, beefier and richer Powerball lottery hit the streets running last Monday; with its promise of a ONE MILLION dollar guaranteed prize for matching 5 main ball numbers without the Powerball. Well on its first draw after the revamp Powerball has lived up to the hype and notched up its first millionaire – a thus far unnamed player from New Mexico who matched all five main numbers: 6 – 29 – 34 – 44 – 50 to take the $1 million prize.

Although twenty-two players matched 4 mains and the Powerball: 28, to pull in at least $180,000 each and seven hundred and eighty-nine more bagged at least $65,000 apiece by matching 4 mains; sadly no-body at all matched all 5 AND the 28 Powerball, which means tonight’s jackpot is now a colossal ONE HUNDRED MILLION dollars!

As always to be in with any chance at all of winning even the lowest lottery prize you need a ticket and the place to buy your lottery ticket is right here on-line at WinTrillions, where you can play many of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries and raffles!
