UK National Lottery
Played every Wednesday and Saturday, The UK National Lottery is the largest lottery in the United Kingdom. With jackpots of up to £42,000,000 the UK Lottery has already created over 2,700 millionaires to date.
To play the UK Lottery, choose 6 numbers from the playboard ranging from 1–49. Prizes are awarded to players who match at least 3 of the 6 drawn numbers with increasing prize value for matching more of the drawn numbers.
In addition to 6 drawn numbers, an additional number is drawn as the Bonus Ball. The bonus ball is only relevant to those players who match 5 of the 6 drawn numbers, whereby those players matching exactly five of the drawn numbers who also match the bonus ball receive a larger prize than those matching just 5 of the drawn numbers. Anyone matching all 6 drawn numbers wins the jackpot.
All prizes (including the jackpot) won playing the UK Lottery are paid as a lump sum and are tax-free. Did you know that of every pound (£) spent on playing the UK Lottery, 50 pence (p) goes to the prize fund, 28p to 'good causes' as set out by Government (part of the Big Lottery Fund), 12p to the British Government as tax and 5p to retailers as commission, while Camelot receives 4.5p to cover operating costs and 0.5p profit. The National Lottery also returns a higher percentage of revenue back to society than any other Lottery.
The EuroMillions lottery is a pan-European lottery held every Tuesday and Friday evening at 9.35 pm CET in Paris, France.

Powerball via Fortune Cookie!
In a Powerball draw in 2005, there was a suspicion of foul play after no less than 110 people came to claim second prize winnings of $227,000. It was only after an investigation that MUSL lottery officials found the lucky winners had all played numbers from fortune cookies made by a New York confectionary factory. The factory had printed the numbers 22, 28, 32, 33, 39, 40 on thousands of fortunes. The "40" in the fortune did not match the Powerball (42) and since the winners had been the result of a coincidence rather than foul play, the lotto payouts were made!
