Gambling Problem

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

The possibility of buying online lottery tickets 24 hours a day, the opening of the first super-casino in Manchester and the several million Euros jackpots of the online lottery Euro Millions are some of the options offered to gamblers. With that many possibilities, options and incentives it is no surprise that many people become addicted to gambling.

According to the British Medical Association in the United Kingdom there are about 300.000 people which have a gambling addiction problem. The people who are mainly affected by this problem are the office workers. According to a study with that area as target, one out of three office workers plays online lottery at last once a week, 15 minutes approximately during work time.

Unlike the alcohol and drug addicts, the gambling addicts do not show any obvious psychological sign and they do not admit the fact they have a problem until they hit bottom and ask desperate for help.

Interesting Story

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Angela Kelly, a 42 year-old woman who lives in the UK has won a £35.4 million Pounds prize thanks to the online lottery Euro Millions. The most amazing part of this tell is the fact that the woman didn’t know her lottery ticket was the winner of the Euro Millions jackpot. On Monday morning, she strolled into work at the sorting office completely unaware that she had the winning lottery ticket sitting in her handbag.

She’d spent Saturday night out with pals and Sunday sitting at home watching TV, so there where no possibilities she found out that she won because she was watching movies the whole Sunday.

It wasn’t until she was on a break (having heard that the Euro Millions jackpot had gone unclaimed) that she decided to check her lottery ticket. She couldn’t believe her luck.
