Lotto luck runs in the Family



6/42- 2 winners
Draw date: 9/29/2012
4-9-10-15-21-23
Jackpot Prize  51,241,667.40


While surfing the net  for some lotto news. I found another unbelievable story about a lucky Norwegian Family. 

First winner was the Father then the daugther and now the son. 


Teenager becomes third member of his Family to win Norwegian National lottery


A teenager has become the third member of his family to hit the jackpot when he won 12.2 million kroner (£1.3million) in the Norwegian National Lottery.

The family of Tord Oksnes, 19, hit the headlines three years ago when his sister scooped an 8.2-million kroner (£880,000) bonanza.

It followed her father's good fortune three years before that when a lottery win made him 8.4 million kroner (£900,000) richer.

Roar Jødahl, a spokesman for lottery operator Norsk Tipping, said he was amazed at the family's improbable triple triumph.

He told the newspaper Bergens Tidende: 'I remember well the story of his sister winning after her father had won before.
'With her brother now winning, I have to pinch myself in the arm.'

Over the years, the Lottery has seen some curious coincidences, he added.
'We've had occasions where people have won twice,  and different examples of couples who live together each winning.

'But this has to be unique and just goes to show that anything is possible.'

Keeping his feet firmly on the ground, Tord Oksnes said he no plans to quit his trainee position with a local energy firm in his home town of Austevoll.

He was even reluctant to take a day off to celebrate.

'I actually have a bit of a guilty conscience about winning so much money. I'm sure there's somebody who could have done with the money more than me,' he told Bergens Tidende.

Oksnes added that he had no plans to leave the family home and would continue driving his 11-year-old car for as long as it remained roadworthy.

He did however plan to invest in an apartment, which he said he would rent out for a few years until he was ready to move away from his mother.

Three in a row for 6/55


6/49- 1 winner
Draw date: 9/20/2012 
11-12-17-22-23 43
Jackpot Prize  P102,728,466.00 


1 lucky winner for 6/49 draw.

A lucky player from Lipa City in Batangas won the  P102,728,466.00  million jackpot of the 6/49 Super Lotto online lottery draw last Thursday. (Sept 21,2012)

 40 players won the second prize worth P56,000 each after they picked five digits of the six-digit winning number combination.


The two lucky winners of  6/55 have already claimed their prizes.

The two winners split the total prize pot of P299,897,496.00, or P149,948,748.00 each

The first to claim was a tricycle driver from Bataan.

The driver bought his lotto ticket in Bataan, using a combination of his age, his wife’s age and their children’s birthdays.

The second winner, a 76-year-old female retiree from Southern Leyte paid  P120 for 6 combinations.

The winner also used her family's birthdays as the number combination for the winning bet.


Three in a row for 6/55

After the big jackpot of almost  P300 million with two winners, two more draws of 6/55 were won again by lone bettors.

Believe it or not ....... only in the Philippines.

The Grand Lotto jackpot, which had reverted back to the minimum guaranteed amount of P30 million, was won again at the following draw on Sept. 15. The solo winner a 58-year-old housewife was once again from Bataan.


The winning combination  4-11-15-17-43-45  had been her “pet” combination since she started betting in 2008.

No sooner had the dust settled when the Grand Lotto jackpot prize, still at the P30-million minimum, was won again in the next draw on September 17.

The 62-year-old solo winner was again a retiree, this time from Batangas. He had been betting since 1995, but he drew up the winning combination of 8-14-24-26-28-47  randomly.

While surfing the net, I found a interesting sad story about a lotto winner who was murdered by their Accountant friend because of  being wasteful with money.  As the saying goes, money kills.


Accountant jailed for murdering lotto winner.

 A central coast accountant who murdered his lottery winning friend because she was being "wasteful" with the money has been sentenced to a maximum of 18 years in jail.

Peter Joseph Kelly, 56, had known Maria Lou Devrell and her husband David for nearly 20 years before murdering her on March 28 last year.

When Mr Devrell won $5 million in Oz Lotto in 1999, he entrusted his friend with managing the money.

But tension soon developed between Kelly and Mrs Devrell over her spending habits, with the former repeatedly warning her that her spending was unsustainable.
This tension came to a head in March last year when, during an argument at Mrs Devrell's Tamworth home, she allegedly pushed him when he refused to give her more money.

Kelly, who later told police he "saw crimson", got a heavy rubber mallet from his car, wrapped it in plastic wrapping and beat Mrs Devrell over the head.

He then used his hand to cover the woman's mouth, strangling her to death.

Mrs Devrell's young daughter found her some hours later lying in a pool of blood.

Kelly pleaded guilty five months later.

In the NSW Supreme Court today, Justice Robert Hulme said he rejected Kelly's argument that he had not intended to kill and had been provoked.

"The offender took the deceased's purse to make it look like a robbery gone wrong," he said.

"That is in keeping with a logical train of thinking, not a loss of control."

However, he accepted that Kelly's actions were an "uncharacteristic aberration in an otherwise blameless life of a good man".

Kelly stood motionless as he was sentenced to a maximum of 18 years jail with a minimum of 13 years.

He will be eligible for parole in October 2024.

Two bettors split P300 million lotto jackpot

Two lucky bettors from Leyte and Bataan won the 6/55 lotto draw (9/12/12) they will share the jackpot prize of almost P300 milion.

They will equally receive  P149,948,748.00 each.

The biggest jackpot prize in the history of the PCSO online lotto draw was more than P741 million that a balikbayan from New York won after he bought the winning ticket at a lotto outlet in Olongapo City in November 2010.


Do you want to be a millionaire?

Many people do. They dream about mansions,expensive SUV,  android cellphones,  laptops, iPhone, tablets etc. 
The sad truth is that winning the lottery isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
One day someone is an average Juan de la cruz, and the next morning they are a millionaire.
The pressure and potential are just too much for some people.
Stories in other Countries of lotto winners going to jail, going bankrupt,broken families, drugs, etc. and regretting that they have won.


I found a very interesting story about a husband and wife lotto winners who are a unwillingly or  a reluctant lotto winners or maybe this couple just wanted to make sure about their lives that nothing bad will happen to them.


Have you ever heard of a “reluctant” millionaire? Neither have I! But while some people strive to be rich, or will die tryin’, there are two lottery winners who weren’t in such a hurry.
They actually held off collecting their millions because they were “reluctant” about being rich.

The Mega Millions numbers were drawn on Aug. 20, 2010, and there was a winning ticket sold in North Carolina. Raleigh Hill discovered he was blessed with being the owner of that winning ticket but he delayed claiming the proceeds from the million-dollar win.

He didn’t even tell his wife about it until several weeks after realizing his ticket was a winner!
So why the delayed gratification you ask?

Well, it certainly wasn’t because they were already rich. Raleigh, who bought the ticket, is a baggage handler, and his wife Erin works for the federal government.  Average everyday middle-class Americans.
Raleigh was so fearful of all “the hoopla,” that he sat on that information and kept it all to himself. And then one day, when Erin was fretting about having an awful day, he let her in on his secret.

And yet they still both decided to wait… for 6 whole months before claiming the dough. Stashing the lucrative ticket away in safe places like inside a Bible, a shoebox, an envelope and a work locker.

The Hills finally came forward , ONE DAY before the prize was to expire. They split the prize money and each received a lump sum of $340,000 (P14 million each) after taxes.

Apparently the couple was haunted by a sense of unease over the many stories they’d heard about lottery winnings destroying lives and relationships. And can you blame them?

I know you remember that story about Abraham Shakespeare….the lottery winner who was found buried in concrete?

There have been story after story about “the lottery curse” and several previous winners have wished they could give it all back.

I think the Hills were smart in waiting and investigating their options. Considering Biggie’s “More Money More Problems” theory.

It would be wise to consider all the factors prior to claiming any big win.
