Lottery –
11/17/06
It begins with a series of numbers. In many cases it is somebody’s anniversary, birthday, the date of their child’s birth, or the time they first discovered that snuggling with the opposite sex was more fun than watching Star Wars or Oprah. In any event, whatever the numbers are, they are, once they have been chosen fate takes over. If by the end of the drawing your choices match the numbers that have been drawn, your life becomes the sort of rags (or if your in the middle class…Gap Jeans) to riches story that would make a wonderful made for TV movie on the Lifetime Network.
Lotteries are perhaps the fairest of all forms of gambling. Your odds of winning do not change regardless of how many people play, and to get into the game is cheap and easy. Websites like www.thelotter.com and www.mylotto.com give players access to lotteries from across the world. The more lotteries that are available the more chances players have to get lucky. All it takes is one moment of luck to change a life forever.

Lottery – Is lotto to random?
11/17/06
To a lot of people lotto winners and those who find themselves face to face with Bigfoot have a few things in common. First of all both are completely random events. The formula for finding Sasquatch is not unlike the way one wins a lottery. First, stake out an arbitrary piece of ground (in lotto terms your "ground" will be the numbers you pick instead of some out of the way section of the Pacific Northwest). Once you have chosen your territory, wait for the monster to lumber across your path and hope he doesn’t eat you.
Many people consider this is a bit to unpredictable and instead of investing their pocket change in potentially massive lottery winnings, they do something more valuable with it…like buy a Slurpee from 7-11. Everyday, though, somebody stumbles across Bigfoot, so to speak. New lotto millionaires are created on a daily basis. For example, Loretta Brown of Detroit, MI bought her ticket as an afterthought. The next day Bigfoot walked right up to her and yelled "Boo". Thanks to her random numbers she now has the problem of what to do with an extra 75 million dollars.
Loretta is not alone, she is just one of a community of people who become rich everyday thanks to the lottery. Today, one doesn’t even need to travel to the corner store to purchase their lottery tickets. Websites like www.thelotter.com and its affiliate www.mylotto.com give people access to lotteries all over the world right from their home computer.
Those who think they have no chance need look no further than their local papers to see that winning is not only possible, but a daily occurrence. Of course, folks who think they cannot win are welcome to invest their spare change in a candy bar or snack cake. This will probably result in Bigfoot simply passing them by.

lOTTERY – The Lottery
11/15/06
There was once a short story written by an author named Shirley Jackson called the lottery. In most of our lives lotteries are wonderful things that can make us filthy rich with the investment of a couple of dollars and some luck. Even when we don’t win there is the fun of imagining what to do if fortune smiles on us and suddenly we find ourselves in a situation where investment bankers are sending us muffin baskets and kissing our pinky rings. In the world of Ms. Jackson, lotteries are a far less enjoyable experience that can result in a large number of heavy rocks being chucked at the person who has the winning ticket. I don’t know exactly where Shirley was buying her lottery tickets, but a more reasonable person would do their shopping elsewhere.
Outside of the little lottery hiccup that occurs in the macabre world that Shirley Jackson calls home, lotteries have been around as long as human beings have had the desire to buy stuff they couldn’t afford without a little help. In Europe, lotteries can be traced back to the days of Caesar and Rome; a time when a good knife and a few friends was an acceptable way to deal with a government divided along partisan lines. In fact the most recognizable ancient monument that stands as a testament to the power of the lottery is the Great Wall of China. Much of this wonder of the ancient world was funded by lottery money.
Today the lottery is as integrated with our lives as the internet or chocolate. Although in this modern, fast paced world where we simply don’t have time to mess around, we have chopped a full syllable off of the word, and just refer to it as lotto. Despite this questionable phonetic practice, lotto is part of the daily life in a large chunk of the world.
Choosing numbers that might make one rich became easier when the internet came along. No longer was a person confined to their state lotto, sites like the www.thelotter.com give people access to lotteries across the globe. People now have the opportunities to become millionaires in currencies that range from the Euro, to the American dollar, to the Israeli sheqel. Just remember the old marketing slogan "You cant win if you don’t play."
