Mega Millions Jackpot Increases to $640 million as US Lines Up for Tickets

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Odds of 1 in 176 million have not deterred pundits as lottery ticket lines across the US swelled with players drawn by a record $640 million (£400 million) Mega Millions jackpot.

In Arizona, a café worker reported selling $2,600 worth of tickets to one buyer. In Wisconsin, a retired soldier doubled his regular weekly ticket spending to $55.

"I feel like a fool throwing that kind of money away," said the soldier, Jesse Carter. "But it's a chance you take in life, with anything you do."

Kimberly Starks, a spokesman for the Georgia Lottery, said on Friday the jackpot had increased. The jackpot had stood at $540 million before the announcement. The previous record jackpot was $390 million in 2007.

Ticket buyers were converging on stores in 42 states and Washington, DC, where Mega Millions tickets are sold. The drawing was scheduled for late Friday night (4am BST) in Atlanta. » | AP | Friday, March 30, 2012

Charity Volunteer and Premier Foods Supervisor Win £101 Million Lottery Jackpot

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The winners of a £101 million EuroMillions jackpot have been revealed as a food company supervisor and a charity volunteer.

The couple, from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, who share the same surname but are not married, had only played twice before, they revealed today. They are now the third biggest lottery winners in the UK.

Euro Millions - Un Normand remporte 162 millions d'euros

LE POINT: Ce joueur est devenu le Français à avoir décroché la plus grosse somme depuis le lancement du jeu.

C'est l'équivalent de près de quatre tonnes d'or ou de 20 000 Renault Clio ou encore 36 fois le salaire annuel de Yoann Gourcuff, le footballeur le mieux payé de L1 : un joueur normand a gagné mardi soir la somme fabuleuse de 162 256 622 euros, le record français d'Euro Millions.

Le précédent record était détenu par quinze Méridionaux qui s'étaient partagé 100 millions d'euros gagnés le 18 septembre 2009 à Venelles, dans les Bouches-du-Rhône. Quant au record absolu des gains à l'Euro Millions - 185 millions d'euros -, il est toujours détenu depuis le 12 juillet 2011 par un couple d'Écossais du Royaume-Uni, loin devant le gagnant normand. » | Le Point.fr | Mercredi 14 Septembre 2011
