  1. Wow! 5 numbers out of 6 is actually statistically very rare, so you should feel fortunate that you experienced something that the vast majority of players will never have happen to them.

    It’s too bad that the payout is so small in the UK. Here in the States, we have the Powerball, which pays a minimum of 200K for 5 of 6 numbers, but it gets better. They roll a seventh ball which acts as a multiplier and can be a number from 2 to 10. If you get 10, that 200k turns into 2 million. Imagine if that was you! Most people dream of just reaching 5 numbers just for a chance at that and you got that far.

    Then of course, if you get all 6 numbers for the Powerball the payout can be into the hundreds of millions. There was a man recently that won over 300 million dollars. Good luck with your playing!

    1. I haven’t played the lottery since I got 4 numbers + the bonus ball in 2016.
      To make things worse I was also one number off getting a fifth ball (I think I had 43 and the winning number was 44).
      I was so close to winning 5 numbers and the bonus which would’ve been about an £80,000 win. Instead I had to pretend to be happy with my £130 win … 🙁

  2. Woman Wins $10 Million Dollar Lottery Now Broke and Catching the Bus to Work

    Lottery Winner $10 million

    “…Nine years after cashing her $10,569,000.10 cheque, lottery winner Sharon Tirabassi is catching the Barton Street bus to her part-time job. She’s working to support her kids in their rented house in northeast Hamilton…”

    “…She bought several houses in the city, renting them out at affordable rates to families. She said she paid people’s rent. Lent money to help out a friend when her husband went to jail. Helped another two friends start up a business in Toronto.

    A lot of friends came out of the woodwork when news broke of her win — and a lot of them she never heard from again.

    “Money is the root of all evil,” she says, shaking her head.

    Vinny agrees…

    Tirabassi, 35 — one of this city’s biggest lotto winners — has gone from rolling in dough to living pay cheque to pay cheque…”

    No doubt if she had been given a financial advisor or someone in her family had the necessary financial acumen she would have been able to retain more of her winnings. But then sometimes these are the journeys we undertake to enable us to understand what matters most to us in life. It also may help her 6 children she managed to financial provide for in a trust fund to cope better with money in their lives than she did…

  3. How to win millions playing the slot machine….

    It just shows what is possible when we project the “appropriate” karma. This guy focuses on winning money to give it away. How many successfully wealthy people do that? By far the majority of successfully wealthy people use “by any means neccesary” karma to attain their wealth. This video on Earnest Cobb shows it doesn’t have to be that way. And why, as Bashar (see video above) would say, PASSION in and what you are doing is so important.

    “…Theslotguru” Earnest Cobb takes you on an exclusive journey through his life on TLC; showing you his strategic methods that helped him win 10.3 million dollars playing the slots from 2005.

    He shows you step by step the methods outlined in his book “Secrets to Hitting More Jackpots” and proves they work as he hit a jackpot on the TLC episode.

    I am a professional slot machine player my fellow gamers. We want to have fun but WE DO TAKE SLOT PLAYING VERY SERIOUS!!! (I think slot playing should be made a sport or even better an Olympic Game)

    (Seriously) (NO SERIOUSLY I DO) (That’s my Love for slots and My Passion). What makes a professional a professional?

    HINT: Love/Passion IS WHAT MAKES A PROFESSIONAL ANYTHING…TO BE A PROFESSIONAL YOU HAVE TO HAVE BOTH LOVE AND PASSION; trust me…”

  4. Lotto Hot Picks…

    It’d been a while since I stopped playing the traditional national lottery game. The frequency of my numbers coming up had decreased and I was getting tired of only ever nearly “shifting myself” to experience their reality in a big win when some of them did come up.

    But now a another factor came into play. ..The National Lottery decided to increase the ticket price form £1-2 pounds per play! This I thought was sheer mass exploitation of the public in their bid to maintain their profits at a time of acknowledged economic recession. I was in no mind to help contribute towards this.

    It was at this point that I began to look at the other games, the costs to play, and what they had on offer. I noticed “Lotto Hot Picks” which I had only ever played once before still remained at £1 a play. But then I also noticed and realised something else…

    Although the top payout for winning was smaller. This could be achieved with just 5 numbers; there where payouts for all numbers picked from 1-5 and these payouts were higher in comparison to those in the traditional game.

    Looking back over my last three years of playing the lottery how many times had I at least had one of my numbers come up? I’d even had 4 and 5 numbers come up over that period too? It soon dawned on me. It was obvious! I had been playing the wrong game all this time!

    What I had not spotted was that a different approach to playing was necessary rather than simply picking 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 numbers at a time. (At £1 a play) You needed to pick all plays and win backwards!

    Sure enough when I switched to playing Lotto Hot Picks in this manner I started to see my reality shifting to the probability where far more of my numbers could come up!

    My first big Lotto Hot Pick Win!

    I’ve since had many more smaller wins but the certainty with which I shift to my winning number reality has definitely increased…!

  5. Did I just nearly win playing “Lotto Hot Picks”?

    This has to be my closest to winning the top prize so far. Using my winning method of playing 5 lines at a time I came ever so tantalisingly close to materialising my five chosen numbers!

    All during the week I had wanted to materialise the number “13”. For some reason it felt right to me that this one number should at least materialise. I certainly intended it to. Then it dawned on me that the last Friday of this year 2013 would be Friday, 13th Dec, 2013. This was just too “synchronistic” an opportunity for me to miss!

    So that same Friday I went into a shop and played my numbers for the next day’s (Saturday) draw…

    13 – 13, 28 – 21, 34, 42 – 13, 28, 34, 36 – 13, 21, 28, 36, 42

    Near Lotto Hot Pick Win!

    Its clear I was spot on with the number 13, but then I looked at how close I came with my other numbers…I had 21, 28, 36, 42 and the winning numbers were: 21, 29, 35, 41 !

    I had 13 & 21 and was just one number away each time. This was far too close to be co-incidental but what was it telling me? It has definitely left me wondering how I could have allowed myself to come so tantalisingly close to perfectly materialising the required winning five numbers?

    Oh well! But at least I got my draw money (£5) back 🙂

  6. Fast Forward to September 2015…

    My latest near Lotto win…

    I placed the first two lines of 3 saved numbers I would normally play. Which just so happened to coincide (not really!) with the day of my birthday 03/09/2015…Due to insufficient funds online, two days later, I attempted to manual place the 3rd line (recorded on my mobile phone) but was prevented from doing so after forgetting to take it with me to the shop?

    The result was a win on 3 numbers (24, 29, 43) and an unmistakable near miss on the other 3 numbers!

    Coincidence again?
