You may remember that a while back I wrote about “divination” – 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, and I also wrote about “numerology” – the study of numbers, again based upon the premise that numbers can reveal the future or hidden information!

You may also remember that you have two particular numbers which hold a special meaning; your “birthday number” and your “life path number!” Well, if still you’re unconvinced of the importance of numbers in people’s lives – just don’t let on to either Michael Shaver or Ronald Simmons!

They are two Vietnam War Veterans from Weston, West Virginia, who have played the Powerball lottery with a combination of loved ones’ birthdays for 25 years and are now multi – millionaires after matching all five main numbers: 1 – 4 -11 – 23 – 26 in the Feb, 29 draw, what’s unusual is the fact that they played the SAME five numbers SEVEN times but missed out on the $40 MILLION top prize because they didn’t match the Powerball number – 14.

Still, they did manage to win a cool $1 million on each ticket which was automatically doubled to $2 million because they chose the PowerPlay option, so SEVEN winning tickets worth a MILLION apiece DOUBLED in value to TWO MILLION each – giving them a total prize of FOURTEEN MILLION dollars! Now that’s just got to be the daddy of consolation prizes!

Remember, you can buy Powerball tickets, as well as buy tickets for many of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries from right here at WinTrillions – to play just click the links – it couldn’t be easier!

Who says that the pumped Powerball lottery doesn’t deliver? Well it’s only just two weeks since the last Powerball jackpot worth $336,400,000 went to a Rhode Island player and now just 14 days later Saturday’s Powerball top prize has delivered SEVENTY MILLION bucks to a New York Lottery player!

So if you haven’t yet checked your Powerball ticket, maybe you should dig it out and take a quick look right away; because if you’ve got the numbers: 6 – 11 – 42 – 53 – 54 and Powerball number 7 lined up across the front and valid for last Saturday’s (Feb. 25) draw then – how can I put this very gently and extremely delicately – YOU’VE SCORED! To be very accurate you’re now SEVENTY MILLION greenbacks ($70,000,000) richer! Now that’s got to come in useful given the way gasoline prices are climbing!

In addition to the jackpot winner – Saturday’s Powerball draw also created 4 new millionaires who matched the 5 main numbers; another 12 players who picked up at least $110,000 apiece by matching 4 mains and the number 7 Powerball and 899 players raked in at least $74,000 by matching 4 mains!

Now if you’re a numerologist, 2012, is of course a leap year! Which means the next Powerball draw will be on Wednesday Feb. 29, known as a leap day! It’s also the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar which leaves us with 306 days remaining until the end of this year. My how time flies! Years containing a leap day are called leap years and with certain exceptions, occur in most years that are evenly divisible by 4, such as 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016.

What else is significant about Feb. 29? Well it could well be the day that YOUR name goes up in lights in the jackpot winners’ frame – but only if you’ve got a ticket! The place to get that ticket is right here at WinTrillions where you can play the biggest and richest lotteries in the world!  Your name, Feb. 29 and a Powerball jackpot at FORTY MILLION – now that’s a significant match!

Well tie me to an anthill and fill my ears with jam! If you’ve got $1,581,000 burning a hole in your pocket and are looking for a world cruise to provide a little light relief and distraction from the woes of the planet; then look no further – the eagle has landed! A 124 day world cruise for two – a real bargain – a mere snip – just $12,600 a day!

The epic cruise created by Six Star Cruises departs from Los Angeles and includes visits to 28 countries including French Polynesia, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Maldives and Mauritius. You’ll be allocated the Royal Suite onboard the ‘Silver Whisper’, part of the luxurious Silversea portfolio of luxury vessels which includes two bedrooms over 1,000 sq ft, two marbled bathrooms, separate dining area and bar and two spacious verandas.

The package also includes a four night pre-cruise stay in the top suite of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, LA, and a four night post-cruise stay in an apartment set in a gated community on Sunset Island, Miami featuring a rooftop Jacuzzi, in-home cinema plus a dedicated butler! Way to go – the only snag is, with the whole shemozzle weighing in at $12,600 a day, you’ll only have about 18 grand left out of your original $1,581,000 for spending – so take it easy with the tipping!

Of course $1,581,000 is mere chicken feed against the lottery jackpots lined up for the next couple of days; later tonight there’s USA’s Mega Millions – jackpot $83 MILLION; Europe’s EuroMillions – jackpot $72 MILLION; tomorrow there’s Italy’s SuperEnalotto – jackpot $90 MILLION and USA’s Powerball – jackpot $70 MILLION – win any of these and the price of your cruise looks pretty good value.

As ever, to be in with any chance of the big money you’ll need a ticket and as ever, the place to buy that ticket is right here at WinTrillions where you can play for the biggest lottery jackpots in the world! Now shiver me timbers – did anyone see where I’ve left the menu for the Captain’s table?

Well as well all now know the pumped up Powerball lottery definitely came up trumps last Saturday and delivered a massive $336.4 million jackpot to an as yet unnamed Rhode Island ticket holder. Just to remind you what the makeover means for Powerball aficionados – the average jackpot pool rises to $255 million; the guaranteed starting jackpot doubles from $20 million to $40 million, match 5 main numbers without the Powerball prize, you’ll win a $1 million, take the Power Play option and your $1 million immediately doubles to $2 million; at the same time the odds of hitting a big win prize improve from 1 in 35 to 1 in 31.8!

Whilst Saturday’s jackpot turned out to be the sixth-largest lottery win in U.S. history – the big question of the day is how high could a rollover jackpot go? Here’s a clue, if last Saturday’s Powerball draw had not tuned in a winner then the rollover jackpot would have hit a COLOSSAL $415 MILLION this week!

Big jackpots simply attract record ticket sales and it would now appear that anything is possible; which means that the newly pimped Powerball draw could actually see the jackpot hit a $1 BILLION! A BILLION greenbacks – now that’s just got to be pretty serious wedge in anyone’s book!

Of course just as always you need a ticket – it’s the only sure fire way to pull a jackpot in any lottery, anywhere in the world – the place to buy that ticket is right here at WinTrillions. The next Powerball game is tomorrow and it starts at a mere $40 MILLION; but if you want to try your luck today then Italy’s Super Enalotto has $83 MILLION up for grabs and the USA’s Mega Millions has $51 MILLION which Lady Luck might have earmarked just for you!
