649 Lotto - Canada's favorite

Whenever you think of Canada we can't help it but pictures images of amazing natural scenery and cold winters. I've been to Canada a couple of times and the country and people are truly wonderful.

Lotto 6/49 is Canada's main lottery game and it is accredited and regulated by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation of Canada which forms an alliance between the different provinces of Canada.

So, How is the game played?

On the ticket you find ten different grids on which you see numbers from 1 to 49. And for each grid you choose 6 numbers + a bonus number. Easy peasy!



The winning amount for the jackpot starts at over 3,000,000 million Canadian dollars. But of course the prize doubles if there were no winners in the previous draw.

Great Places to Play Online Lottery

If time is money, then the time we spend over the Net browsing aimlessly should also count.

Here are some of the major online lotteries available and of course their popularity gives them the biggest jackpots in the world:

El Gordo de Navidad (Spain’s main lottery)

El Gordo is Spain’s biggest lotteries and it offers huge amounts with prizes of 3 million Euros. There are five draws throughout the year (unlike many countries which they happen every week or so).

If you do not live in Spain, you can also participate in the Spanish Christmas lottery online. Click here to learn how to play the El Gordo Navidad. (Naturally you're expected to pay for service fees so tickets are more expensive than if buy them directly from Spanish vendors in Spain).

Euro Millions is the biggest lottery games played by millions in Europe. It is also the most played lottery online due to its usually great sums of money for its jackpots.


SuperEnalotto

Super Enalotto is Italy’s lottery game and it has already provided the Dolce Vita to many Italians. I will make a complete review of this game soon, soon...

Another lucky day for me with the Spanish Lottery

Funny that the Spanish Christmas lottery should happen only in December...

The History of France lottery

King Francis was the first one to bring in lottery for the first time into France in the year 1505. After that the lotteries in France were banned for nearly two centuries. But after that they again came into the play in the end of the seventeenth century which was called as “public lottery”. These were regulated by Paris municipality namely Loferie de L’Hotel de Ville. This lottery was mainly started for religious purpose and was a private one. This lottery was for nuns that are in the convents.

From then onwards lottery started gaining wide attention from the religious worshippers nearly in the eighteenth century and the amount gathered was use to build up around fifteen churches in the Paris, among them two of them were St. Sulpice and Le Pantheon. Initially the king did not supported funding religious matters and so gave permission to carrying out the lotteries. However in the other of the half of the century it was observed that lotteries generated huge amount of money which created a fight between the monarchy and the Church for lottery control. Then in 1774, Loterie de L’Ecole Militaire was founded by the monarchy particularly Madame de Pompadour mainly to purchase what is called as Champ de Mars in Paris today and also build up Napoleon Bonaparte with forbidding other lotteries however exceptional prevail.

Later on this lottery got a name Loterie Royale de France. Prior to 1789 in which the French revolution took place the contribution of this lottery that is Loterie Royale de France was about five to seven percent in the total French revenues. However in the eighteenth century philosophers like Voltaire and some bishops were of the opinion that lotteries take the advantage of the poor people and complained about it. This topic had created debates in written as well as oral about the ethics of the lottery. The idealist of the French revolution complained about all the lotteries comprising of the state lottery as they believed that rich took the advantage of the poor people wages through this lottery practice.

After this, lottery again came into existence in the year 1936 which will be called as lotto. This came into existence as there was a need to increase state revenue by the socialist. After this the La Francaise des Jeux which is a government owned body took over the monopoly on majority of the games that took place in the France which also comprised lottery in it. About the mass guillotine execution in France, there were reports on lottery. In earlier times game was played as: on the head of every person a number was placed and once the executions where done, one of the people was pulled in by the executioner and the people who mat6ched those numbers were the winners. The numbers in that game were three to five digit long.

Lotteries - from rags to riches or the other way round?

It has always seemed to me that lotteries managed to be at the same time a great entertainment and challenge and a terrible waste of time and money.The big prize lotteries give you the chance to millions of people of winning life-changing huge prizes. But how often and how long do you have to play before you see the cash?

Of course the odds against this happening are enormous, well but truly the chance is there.

So why are some lotteries a terrible idea? I have a problem with the flood of smaller daily pools and scratch cards. Take a typical pick 3 where the prizes are fixed so no opportunities created by rollovers. Typically the odds against winning are 1000 to 1 yet the top prize is $500. And how about this way of doubling your winnings? Select your numbers but instead of buying a ticket, put $1 in a moneybox at home. Do this every day and check the results.

This is simple but effective. Make sure you do put the dollar in the box and of course make sure you do not spend it. Have perseverance! I guarantee you will be able to save a considerable amount for a cheap holiday or a weekend away in no time...


Remember the old adage "Don't give up the day job". Nevertheless you can have a bit of lottery fun and you should make sure get the most out of your fun dollar.

Brazil's Mega Sena lotto

Brazilian's love to bet as much as any other nation. They have their nationwide adored main lottery called Mega-Sena.It is certainly the biggest Lottery game in Brazil.

Brazil Mega Sena draws are announced two times a week, once on Wednesday and on Saturday. The lottery ticket costs $1.50 for the smallest bet which gives you the opportunity to choose up to 6 numbers.

In the first grid, there are 0 to 5 number balls and in the other one there are 0 to 9 number balls.

Some useful insight on playing Mega Sena lottery

If you visit Brazil, you can visit one of the many (every corner literally) tickect vendors shop or browse the internet in order to buy the Mega Sena lotto tickets online. If you speak Portuguese, you can read all the rules on the backside of the lotto ticket.

You can hit the prizes if you are able to score 4 or 5 or 6 points in the game. However, if you are not able to get 6, you do not have to fret as there are prizes offered on other combinations as well.


Winners are given only 90 days to claim their prizes, and sums of up 800 reais can be claimed directly at any ticket vendor. For prices higher than that you can collect your winning amount at the Caixa Economica Federal Bank, which is the regulatory agency for Mega-Sena and other lotteries in Brazil.

The Primitive Fat, huh?

If you are a fan of the Spanish Lottery, El Gordo (as far as I know not affiliated to the Spanish government) brings some interesting info about how to play the Primitiva.

What is EL GORDO DE LA PRIMITIVA?

That would have been the translation I would have had should have used a dictionary to translate El Gordo de la Primitiva into English. Me-trying-to-be-funny aside, El Gordo de la Primitiva is the major and prefered lottery ticket of the Spanish people. The game is regulated by the Spanish organization ONLAE (Loterias y Apuestas del Estado).
m
A note about the translation: El Gordo de La Primitiva can be translated into English as "the One" or the "the Jackpot" if we are referring to lottery...

Euro-Millions - The European Online Lottery!

Euro-Millions is Europe's major lottery covering many of the European countries, including to date France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Spain, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland.As the number of participants is greater than any single country alone, the prizes are also substantially higher.

Despite Euro-Millions pan-European character, the draws are still carried out at Française des Jeux every Friday.

For those who either do not have access to a kiosk, or who wish to play Euro-millions online, there are a number of syndicated vendors to choose from.

I will be writing about each single one of them, and do my best to carry you through the process of playing the lottery online. If you have any questions about Euro-millions, drop me a line. I'll be more than happy to do the research for you!

If you've already played the Euro-Millions this week, I'm crossing fingers for you! Good luck! :-)

I'm an online lottery millionaire!!!! :-)

The Internet abounds with scams of all sorts. Who of you have never received an Email from a poor sod who died tragically somewhere in Equatorial Africa and left behind unbelievable sums of money?

I don't know about you, but I used to have the habit of replying to these Emails and starting a whole conversation - always pretending to be highly interested - and see where that would take me. Obviously, the person on the on the other side of the Internet line is trying to suck as much information out of you, and money, so that, if all your money, at least enough to pay the one-dollar-a-day salary the unfortunate scam-worker receives.

What a waste of good English! (yes, because usually these Emails are written in beautifully crafted texts which would Shakespeare to shame.)

Anyway, this week I received the following Email from an Online lottery scheme (scam, better said):

Well, according to Mr. Manuel I have to provide him with all my relevant and mostly private information so that I can claim my fortune... Oh Gosh!!!

Does the name "Euromillones" ring a bell? It should as it pretty my sounds like the famous, and respectable Euro Millions, the famous lottery for the European countries.

So guys, beware and don't be fooled! If you have any doubts, don't take any action before you visit the Site Scam Watch. There you will be able to find loads of information about Internet scams, big and small.
