The year 2010 has come to an end, and we celebrate the New Year with elation and animation. yes 2011 is here, and it’s hotting up to be another crazy year for lottery players around the world.
2010 was abig period of time in terms of considerable lotto prize pools and some astronomical lotto rollovers. In fact it was a record smashing calendar year for the uk lottery in the England, Camelot (the operator of the uk national lottery) released year end data which highlighted that over one hundred and fifty eight new lottery millionaires were created, and a monster ?775 million was paid out to lucky winners
setting a new record was the payout,which beat an existing record for the camelot and was up an huge ?285 million on the previous 12 months. This seems to help prove the theory that more lotto tickets are purchased in times of an economic recession than in the so called good times.
The UK National lotto has now formed over 2,500 millionaires. However during the same period sadly 85 lottery prizes that wereunclaimed in 2010, and will pass to charity causes if not claimed within the time limit.
Moreso the year of 2010 was also a record Writting year for the euromillions lottery in which the record Jackpot paid out amount was broken On a few occasions during the year. The most publicity surrounded the ?113million Unclaimed jackpot on Friday the 8th of October 2010.
The news reported heavily on an Old lady who Said her Spouse had binned the Lucky ticket, in fact something like 1,000 Hopeful claims were put into Camelot, before the rightful owners of the Lottery ticket were found. at the end a syndicate was announced of being the lucky of the monster prizepayout; however they declined all publicity..So we will never actually know who they are.
Looking into the future and the flambatious year 2011 is already looking like an interesting lotto player’s year also. Just a few tiny weeks into the New Year and this week we have 2 lottery rollovers, the first being the UK National lottery double rollover at an estimated ? ten million and the second being the euromillions at ?24 million.
The Euro-millions results on Friday 14 January were 02, 14, 24, 39 and 44, with 06 and 07 falling as the Lucky star numbers for the 2nd friday in a row. Because the Euro-millions jackpot of ?12.6 million wasn’t won, the jackpotrolls over and now we have the above mentioned lottery prize pool. The Lotto game on Saturday 15 January 2010 had aRollover jackpot of ?6.7 million, with the winning numbers being 07, 08, 21, 24, 33, 34, and the bonus ball was 02. As with the euromillions this UK jackpot Failed to be won, and Thus creates the nice ten million prize pool for The next lottery draw.
What else will Occur lotto wise in 2011, the future is Unwritten. It is sure though Lotto players will see more Big payouts, and some very happy lottery winners. Also the United kingdom only Dreamnumber will have its final ever game on the 9th of February 2011.
