Kathy Liebhart from Bevier, Missouri was busy chatting away on the telephone and studiously ignored husband Wade, and son, Trevor’s antics in trying to persuade Kathy to hang up on her conversation. What Kathy was not expecting was to learn that Wade and Trevor had just pocketed twenty-five thousand greenbacks after taking the top prize on a Missouri Lottery “Platinum Payout” Scratchers ticket which they bought from Ugo’s Bait House, 300 N. Macon St. in Macon, after they had stopped there to buy gasoline.

Frustrated by Kathy’s refusal to end her phone call Wade found a big poster board and wrote, “You’re going to want to talk to me!” right across the board – result; one immediately ended phone call and undivided attention by all!

Kathy recalled that Wade had been telling her for years that one day he’d win the lottery – she just never believed him. The Liebhart’s plan to use the windfall to pay bills and purchase at least one item Wade and Trevor have been eyeing for some time – a skid steer.

If winning the lottery can happen to the Liebhart family then it can also happen to you; all you need is a ticket; and the place to buy a lottery ticket is right here at WinTrillions, where you can play the world’s biggest and richest lotteries! Whether you’re able to attract the attention of your nearest and dearest AND persuade them to end a phone call so you can tell them you’ve just bagged a winning lottery prize is of course, an entirely different story.

An elephant walked into a bar, strolled up to the counter and ordered a glass of lager. Completely unfazed, the barman poured out the lager and passed it across to the elephant, who handed over a ten dollar bill. As he handed over the change of a few cents, the barman said “I have to say, you’re first elephant I’ve seen in here.” The elephant studied the change very carefully and said. “Tell you what buddy, at these prices I’m also the last elephant you’re going to see in here.”

The problem for the barman here is “word of mouth advertising” which is massively more influential than any other form of advertising, linked to the fact that “elephants never forget”, who will now tell all of his pals, who’ll then tell all their pals – result bankruptcy and another barman looking for a job.

All this only goes to show that news travels fast but bad news travels fastest and furthest – people believe what their friends and neighbours say about you and your business, and they’ll remember it for a long, long time.

Actually you don’t have to be a marketing expert, barman or even be on nodding terms with an elephant to spread the news that there are some very serious lottery winnings up for grabs this week, which in turn, will mean some very, very happy people by the weekend. However, what you do need though if you’re serious about getting your hands on some, if not all of it, is a lottery ticket and the best place to buy that ticket is right here at WinTrillions, where you can buy your tickets for the biggest and richest lotteries and raffles in the world!

A woman who has won huge lottery jackpots four times has been revealed to be a Stanford graduate with a PhD in maths, suggesting to some that she may have had more than just good luck. Joan Ginther, 63, has won $20 million in prize money from lotteries over a decade and has raised suspicions due to her statistics background. This has led to calls that she may have discovered a pattern or glitch in the lottery system although lottery officials have said that they are not planning to investigate. Play lotteries from around the world today at WinTrillions!
