Fortune-telling date back to ancient times; individuals who could make predictions through some sort of direct vision of the future were known as seers or prophets, and in later times as clairvoyants and psychics. Amongst the most famous are, Pythia, aka the Greek oracle at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Nostradamus who’s collected prophecies of the future are some of the most widely studied in the entire world, Edgar Cayce from Kentucky; one of the founders of the New Age Movement and Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova (Baba Vanga) born in Macedonia in 1911, although blind she predicted the break-up of the Soviet Union, date of Stalin’s death, the Chernobyl incident, and the 09/11 attacks on America.

Well psychic portends for a family living in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia included predictions that they would come into a large sum of money and – guess what? The predictions were bang on the money (no pun intended – other puns are available) because the family has just won US$1.4 MILLION in last Saturday’s Gold Lotto draw.

The mother said, “I always had a sixth sense that I would win big in Gold Lotto and several psychics and tarot card readers have confirmed this prediction over the years. I normally only play my lucky numbers in Saturday Gold Lotto but last week, I had a feeling that I should buy a QuickPick entry as well – I’m so glad I did as that was the winning ticket.”

Well you don’t have to either visit a psychic or Australia to play the OZ Lotto – you can do that right here at WinTrillions where you can also play the biggest and richest lotteries in the world – just choose your game, pick your numbers – then sit back and enjoy the ride. How that for a prediction?

Picture the scene; you pop into your local store to pick up a newspaper, which you’re intending to give to a poorly relative who’s in hospital – you ask the store assistant to check whether the two Powerball lottery tickets which you recently purchased had won anything and were then told, by that same assistant, that your two slips of paper are actually worth more than the $600 maximum the store are permitted to pay. So you double check with the Lottery offices who confirm that your two tickets are in reality, worth a MILLION bucks each and you’re now $2 MILLION richer!  WOW – that’s just got to be the stuff of fairy tales!

Well that’s exactly what happened to Virginia Fike of Berryville, Virginia. A few weeks ago she stopped off at the Olde Stone Truck Stop on Martinsburg Pike in Clear Brook to buy two tickets for the April 7, Powerball draw – her picks were based on her parent’s anniversary, their ages at that time, divided by the year they were married. She was visiting her mother in hospital, when they saw a scroll on TV about there being two $1 million Powerball winners; so the next day Virginia stopped at the store to pick up The Washington Post for her mother, asked them to check her lottery tickets, and the rest – as they say – is history!

The next Powerball draw is later today and the jackpot currently stands at a very tasty ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO MILLION greenbacks – and your name might just be engraved on the jackpot box, but only if you’ve got a ticket. The place to buy that ticket is right here at WinTrillions where you can play not just Powerball but many other of the world’s biggest and richest lotteries – just choose your game, pick your numbers – then sit back and enjoy the ride.

To use that old hackneyed phrase, “It ain’t over ‘till the fat lady sings.” Well she’s now sung her song and the final chapter in the long running who’s won, who didn’t win, last month’s world record $656 million Mega Millions jackpot has now been written.

There were three winning Mega Millions tickets sold for the March 30, drawing, but it took a week for the first winner – a regular lotto player who decided to remain anonymous – to come forward in Kansas. This led to much speculation and rumour about the identity of the two remaining shareholders until on April 10, a syndicate of three anonymous public school employees from Maryland – known as the “Three Amigos” stepped forward to claim their share of the prize pot which just left one more winner to collect.

Well at a news conference which took place yesterday in Red Bud, a farming community about 40 miles southeast of St. Louis, a retired southern Illinois couple Merle and Patricia Butler laid claim to the third and final share of the record breaking Mega Millions jackpot.

Under lottery rules multi-million dollar winners must appear at a press conference, to “assure other players that prizes are paid to winners”. However in the State of Illinois anonymity is not an option which why the Butlers came forward publicly; the delay gave them time to meet with financial and legal advisers and to allow them to properly prepare for the cameras.

The lucky couple won their share of the booty after buying their ticket at the Moto Mart in Red Bud; additionally Moto Mart’s owner will also receive $500,000 from the lottery as a bonus for selling the winning ticket. So it looks like party time in Red Bud has arrived!

Well there was no jackpot winner in Tuesday’s Mega Millions draw so the jackpot rollover has now risen to a very handy SIXTY FIVE MILLION dollars. Mind you, there was no jackpot winner in yesterday’s Powerball draw either, which means the next Powerball jackpot has climbed to a very, very, very handy indeed ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY TWO MILLION bucks!

Bill and Ralph were approaching the first tee. Ralph goes into his golf bag to get a ball and says to his friend, “Hey, why don’t you try this ball.” He draws a green golf ball out of his bag. “You can’t lose it.” Bill replies, “What do you mean you can’t lose it?” Ralph replies, “I’m serious, you can’t lose it. If you hit it into the woods, it makes a beeping sound, if you hit it into the water it produces bubbles, and if you hit it on the fairway, smoke comes up in order for you to find it.”

Obviously, Bill doesn’t believe him, but Ralph shows him all the possibilities until he is convinced. Bill says, “Wow! That’s incredible! Where did you get that ball?” Ralph replies, “I found it!”

Well here’s the very latest golfing tale! There’s a four member syndicate from Langley, British Columbia, Canada who are now nearly THIRTY MILLION dollars richer after “finding” the lottery jackpot in last Friday’s Lotto Max draw. The group of co-workers Ian McMurtie, Wayne Miller, Tom Moryson and Joe Scully, all absolute golfing fanatics, are now planning celebratory golf trips around the globe including Pebble Beach in California and St. Andrews in Scotland.
