According to practically every single news bulletin throughout the world, The Republic of Greece, AKA, The Hellenic Republic the “cradle of western civilisation,” currently has a bit of a cash flow crisis, is little short of the readies and is struggling to pay its debts! Aren’t we all?

However, being Greek didn’t bring any financial solace either to film maker Costis Mitsotakis, who is the only Greek inhabitant of the Spanish village of Sodeto. This is the tiny village tucked away in the municipality of Alberuela de Tubo, Huesca, Spain where the entire population of 70 households, decided to pool their resources in order to buy tickets for Spain’s biggest lottery – El Gordo and then won first prize – a staggering NINE HUNDRED and TWENTY-THREE MILLION dollars – yes you did read that right $923,000,000 which meant that the minimum every household walked away with was $132,000 apiece!

All except one that is, no prizes for guessing the missed household – right first time – Costis Mitsotakis! Sadly it appears that when his neighbours were going around every house in the village persuading people to buy El Gordo lottery tickets, Mitsotakis, who lives in a barn half a mile outside Sodeto, mistakenly got overlooked.

Fortunately not all is doom and gloom for Mitsotakis, as he had been trying to sell some land without much success, It now appears that after learning of their lottery win, a neighbour called to say he would buy it and now more neighbours have put in offers on the land; however Mitsotakis doesn’t want any bad feelings in such a small village and has refused to get into a bidding war! He sounds like a very nice guy indeed!

Spain is of course noted, amongst other things, for its addiction to big money lotteries and raffles and with just over 1 day to go before the next Spanish Special Millionaire Raffle is due to be drawn, then this weekend is no exception. Up for grabs is a very tasty ONE HUNDRED and TEN MILLION dollars, which should help a little until your next payday! To be in with a chance of winning, you need a ticket and the place to buy a ticket for tomorrow’s Special Millionaire Raffle is right here at WinTrillions!

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!

Playing any lottery anywhere in the world involves just three simple steps – choose your game, pick your numbers, buy your ticket – that’s it – as a game plan they don’t come much easier than this. Miss out any one step and you’ll never win!

Numbers make very powerful “for and against” arguments; just take a quick peek at the following Powerball statistics:

• Most frequently drawn numbers (excluding the Powerball): 41 – 20 – 32 – 26 – 16 – 40.
• Least frequently drawn numbers (excluding the Powerball): 56 – 57 – 58 – 59 – 55 – 54.
• Most overdue numbers (excluding the Powerball): 42 – 32 – 48 – 44 – 53 – 7.

So maybe you need to consider these for the next time you play Powerball and you’re undecided which main numbers to pick; just remember that numbers that have failed for the past six or more games are considered “hot numbers” and account for more than half of all winning numbers.

Don’t forget with effect from yesterday Powerball is now bigger, beefier and richer than ever before – with guaranteed jackpots starting at $40 million for matching 6 main numbers and the Powerball; match 5 main numbers without the Powerball and you’ll nail $1 million; take the Power Play option and your $1 million immediately doubles to $2 million!

You can safely buy lottery tickets for Powerball as well as for many other of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries and raffles right here at WinTrillions, what’s more you won’t ever have to worry about missing a result or losing your ticket, as we write your name across the top of every ticket you buy; send you a scanned copy and email you with the result!
