EuroMillions: No Jackpot Winner On Friday February 13, 2015!
Friday the 13th instills a lot of fear in many people. Some consider the day to be very unlucky, especially that the number 13 comes along with a Friday. Well, as it turns out the day was unlucky in a way as no one won the jackpot but ask everyone who has made some handsome winnings and they would never regard Friday the 13th as unlucky or fearsome.
Friday had a double rollover up for grabs, an estimated £23 million to be won. No ticket matched all the five main numbers and the two lucky stars. The winning main numbers were 12, 24, 39, 42 and 44. The two lucky stars were 3 and 11.
Although the jackpot went unclaimed, there were six lucky players who matched five main numbers and one lucky star, thus pocketing £220,314. Eight lucky players matched five main numbers and won £55,078. There were more than 2.7 million other winners, albeit of smaller amounts, from matching four main numbers and two stars to matching just two main numbers.
Good News For EuroMillions Players On Tuesday, 17th February 2015
The jackpot having gone unclaimed leads to a triple rollover and the estimated jackpot to be won on Tuesday, 17th February 2015 is £29.59 million.
If you didn’t win the jackpot last Friday, don’t be disappointed as you can win bigger the next time. With an increased jackpot, the worth of subsequent prizes would also see an appreciation. Although the value of the subsequent prizes would depend a lot on the numbers of tickets or the total sales value of EuroMillions tickets and the number of winners in every prize category or with every combination that is eligible for a bounty. Yet, the indications are that the prizes would be more rewarding on 17th.
P.S. Look out for the deals and bonuses when you buy EuroMillions tickets and also keep an eye on the onetime and multi-play options to get more odds in your favor for the same investment.

A Fortunate Woman of 50 Years Becomes Winner of Powerball Jackpot of $310.5 Million
Julie Leach, a woman of 50, was the only winner of the US Powerball draw of 30 September. She won $310.5 million, an amount which is unfathomable; this was the second hugest jackpot in Michigan State that had ever been won.

Purchasing the Ticket Even though Leach has been an ardent player of lotto for numerous years, she nearly did not win Powerball jackpot; she states the ticket was purchased at the eleventh hour at a gas station following the advice of her boyfriend that she purchases one, due to the top jackpot. Leach took her boyfriend’s advice and bought 10 Powerball plays and placed them inside her purse. The following day, while waiting at a drive-through for her lunch, Leach recalled that she was in possession of the tickets. Checking the Outcomes After this she retrieved her cell phone to verify the outcomes. ‘After I realized I had matched it, I began examining the figures one at a time, on that line. After seeing that I matched three of them, I recall this thought running though my mind, ‘Well, this is great. I have won around $200.’ Leach was shocked and was unable to accept that she was a winner; therefore, she examined her ticket again severally. When she returned from lunch-break, Leach requested her colleagues to check again also, which made them skeptical. ‘My two colleagues believed I was tricking them.’ However, after reality dawned, Leach picked her possessions and left her job of twenty years…she never looked back. Breaking the Wonderful News After this, Leach drove home to break the news to her boyfriend; he was asleep at this time. She roused him from sleep and shared the news with him; the couple was hysterical. For hours, they laughed and cried, attempting to absorb what was taking place. Thereafter, the couple told their families; they intend to tour the globe with them. The couple has other arrangements such as settling debt and purchasing new homes for themselves as well as their families. They were winners of a whopping $140 million prize in cash (after taxation); therefore, it should be a breeze to realize those dreams!

Last June Roy Cockrum has won no less than $259 million and he decided that the best way to deal with some of the money is to donate them to the Actors Theatre in Louisville, his natal city. And so he did, since he gave no less than $1.2 million in the form of a large grant. Roy has created a foundation that started to support numerous theaters from all over the country and the Actors Theatre is in fact the third one in the initiative. This particular theatre is widely known for the Humana Festival of New American Plains and it seems that Roy funded them as a support for his intern and apprentice. It’s the first grant he provided that doesn’t relate to the production of a specific play, instead it’s dedicated towards an initiative. Other theatres that managed to obtain funding from Roy Cockrum are the Goodman and Steppenwolf Theatres in Chicago, both of which have received funding for an unspecified amount.
