NINE HUNDRED and TWENTY-THREE MILLION dollar jackpot – shared 70 ways!

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

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!

Five hundred and fifty-three million bucks worth of jackpot heaven!

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

A passenger train is creeping along, slowly; finally it creaks to a halt. A passenger sees the conductor walking by outside. “What’s going on?” she yells out the window. “Cow on the track!” replies the conductor. Ten minutes later, the train resumes its slow pace. Within five minutes, however, it stops again – the woman sees the same conductor walk by again. She leans out the window and yells, “What happened – did we catch up with the cow again?”

A slow train is definitely not the best way to describe the mouth-watering lottery rollover jackpots lining up for kick-off over the next three days. Later today, there’s Super Enalotto: jackpot SEVENTY EIGHT MILLION; tomorrow there’s EuroMillions: jackpot FIFTY-NINE MILLION and Mega Millions: jackpot TWENTY-THREE MILLION; on Saturday there’s Powerball: jackpot TWO HUNDRED MILLION; Indiana Hoosier: Jackpot THIRTY-TWO MILLION; Brazil’s Mega Sena: Jackpot TWENTY-SIX MILLION; German Lotto: Jackpot TWENTY-FIVE MILLION and the next Spanish Millionaire Raffle with a ONE HUNDRED and TEN MILLION jackpot!

That little lot added together makes a grand total of FIVE HUNDRED and FIFTY-THREE MILLION greenbacks from just 8 lottery games. Over HALF A BILLION bucks; that’s pretty serious wedge by anyone’s book and might be almost enough to put a smile on your bank manager’s face (I did say ALMOST)!

Now the only similarity between the slow train and a life changing lottery win is you need a ticket for both. The good news is you don’t have to look all over the place to find out where to buy one – if you’re reading this you’re already found the place, right here at WinTrillions – just follow the links and you’re sure to be on the train – win all of the jackpots and you can BUY the train!

Pumped up Powerball finds first $1 million winner in New Mexico!

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

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!
