For those of you who thought that a single significant win on a lottery was highly unlikely then the news that there were two $10k wins for a Georgia Lottery player will be a complete shock. However, the fact that this Georgia Lottery player had the two $10k wins is not the only part of the story that will raise eyebrows. Both of these wins were just two months apart with the first one coming in May on the Maximum Green Extra Chance Drawing.

With just one winner in the last fifteen draws, all eyes were on the Euromillions results last night to see if it would be yet another Euromillions rollover. The Euromillions results, Tuesday 19th July 2011 are in, and the Euromillions rollover, worth €23.1 million went to a single lottery player from France who was the only player to match all five main balls and the two lucky stars in the Euromillions Lottery draw.

Thanks to the midweek draw we now get two chances to play the Euromillions Lottery draw each week and after Friday’s Euromillions rollover, the Tuesday Euromillions jackpot has had quite a boost. The Tuesday Euromillions jackpot for 19th July 2011 is €20 million and while that not be quite at the level of the record jackpot won last week, it is still a life-changing lottery win for any lucky player who matches all the winning numbers.

Although most players don’t realise it, every lottery ticket purchased in the UK is a guaranteed winner. No, we aren’t saying that every lottery ticket purchased will win the player a prize, but it will certainly benefit someone thanks to a percentage of money raised from ticket sales going to Good Causes. That percentage is around 28%, and a further 12% is paid in Lottery Duty to the UK government, which in turn helps to pay for a range of important services that help to keep the country running a little more smoothly. Take all of that into consideration and playing the lottery is a very charitable thing to do!
