EuroMillions Results Round-up


November is here and it’s time for a monthly roundup of lottery results.

I’ve got some good news and bad news in today’s post. Unless you’ve still not found your winning ticket, the bad news is that we have not had one EuroMillions jackpot winner throughout the whole month of October.

However, if you’ve not already guessed, the good news is this Friday 2nd November is a ginormous EuroMillions rollover. As it stands, the jackpot is an estimated £95 million.

Also, don’t forget, when you play the EuroMillions, you are also automatically entered into the Millionaire Raffle, where one lucky ticket is drawn separate to each EuroMillions jackpot, and the winner receives £1M. (You had better check your ticket again, just in case!)

If the jackpot is scooped this Friday, the charmed individual who holds all the lucky numbers could be taking home one of the largest EuroMillions jackpots to date.

As I stated at the start of this post, this is a monthly roundup of lottery results for November. So let’s see what they numbers were...

If you didn’t win this month, don’t despair. Playing the lottery as part of a lottery syndicate actually increases your chances of winning that big jackpot. In fact, the National Lottery states that 1 in 4 jackpots is won by a syndicate. The next draw could be your lucky day.

EuroMillions: Millionaires’ Families Come First


Over the summer, the National Lottery, in collaboration with Oxford Economics, conducted an exclusive survey of the millionaires it has created since its conception in 1994 and what they have done with their winnings.

 
It’s a great read with some really interesting results, some of which are completely unexpected.

In an effort not to overload you with statistics, I have chosen to focus on a small proportion of the facts. In particular – one of the most interesting facts highlighted is how the winners distributed their newfound wealth amongst themselves and their family and friends.

Here are some interesting facts the survey bought to light:

More than just 3000 Millionaires?

·      Lottery winners have, so far, spent £1.615 billion on investments for the future/children.
·      510 millionaires have been directly created by Lottery Millionaires’ generosity of giving (excluding gifts given to their children).

·      3270 children of winners are already, or will be when they grow up, millionaires as a result of their parents’ win.

That’s a fantastic amount of millionaires made. The spread of wealth to children and family is something I didn’t think about before reading the report.

To put this into perspective, the £1.615bn spent on investments for the future/children money is the equivalent to what it would cost to raise three quarter of a million British children (according to the Guardian’s estimate that the average cost of raising a child to the age of 18 is £218,000).

Family matters dealt with

·    National Lottery Millionaires have spent £1.17 billion on gifts for family and friends.
·    3000 millionaires have paid off 3700 mortgages of family and friends
·    390 winners gave their previous home to a friend or family member

Oh to be a friend of a jackpot winner! The amount spent on gifts for friends and family is even more surprising, when you consider that the amount Lottery winners’ have spent on large items for themselves (such as cars and holidays) only amounted to £680 million.

As the National Lottery research suggests, winning a huge jackpot means financial freedom not only for the winners themselves, but also for their friends and family.

During these tough economic times, having the opportunity to help those around you is a definitely not an opportunity to be missed.

As 1 in 4 jackpots is won by lottery syndicates it’s no surprise people boost their chances of winning by playing as part of syndicate. We can offer you the chance to play in the next EuroMillions or Lotto draw for free. All you have to do is join one of our syndicates and hope those winnings numbers to come up. Who knows, you and your family could be holidaying in Barbados this Christmas.

It’s worth a try, isn’t it?

Lucky Charm Mo Farah behind £2m fortune


Double Olympic gold medalist, Mo Farah, has no doubt become one of the most talked-about athletes of the London 2012 Olympic Games. His charm, heart-warming celebrations and sheer ruthlessness on the track have made him a figure of admiration both for the British public and for the rest of the world. Yet is Mo Farah more than just an athlete? Is he, in fact, a lucky charm?

Scottish lottery winners, Libby and Alisdair McRae, certainly believe so, for a chance encounter with him seemed to have given the couple a mystical strength that helped them win their £2,159,664 jackpot.

When Mrs. McRae ran the Bupa 10k race in May, she found herself being lapped by the then Olympic gold medal hopeful, Mo Farah. Mrs. McRae explains: “He lapped me and I moved to the side until he had passed.” She goes on to state that: “I have felt so lucky ever since.”

This lucky encounter with one of Britain’s greatest athletes seems to have paid off, as Mrs. McRae explained: “Mo went on to win double Olympic gold and I went on to win over £2m – thanks Mo.”

Rather than playing the National Lottery as part of a lottery syndicate, which seems to offer the best chance of winning (1 in 4 jackpots is won by a syndicate, an official National Lottery statistic), Libby thought she would have a punt on the lottery whilst in the queue at the local shop.

She stated she was stood in the shop waiting to pay for her items and had a spare pound and thought, “Why not?”

Her biggest surprise was when she went back to the shop to see if she had won. Upon checking the ticket, the assistant behind the counter said she would have to contact Camelot as the figure she had won was over £500.

Incredibly, if Libby had not been in the queue for so long and not had that spare pound, life for the Scottish couple would have gone on as much-the-same as usual. However, as Mrs. McRae was still feeling lucky from her encounter with Mo Farah, she felt it necessary to spend her spare pound on the National Lottery: a wise choice!
