EuroMillions is Changing in May 2011

Beginning in the second week of May, the EuroMillions lottery will conduct two drawings per week, one on Tuesday and one on Friday nights. 

Concurrently, two slight format changes will be introduced:

• the two Lucky Stars will be numbered 1 to 11 (previously 1 to 9), and
• a lower tier prize of €3 will be paid to those matching 2 white balls only.

The cost of the tickets will remain at €2 each and the minimum jackpot will still be €15 million.

The first drawing with these adjustments will be held on Tuesday, May 10, 2011.

During the upcoming weeks, we will modify all of our analytical pages to reflect these changes.

Cheers!

Introducing Our New Navigation Menu

During the past weekend, we began to install our new Navigation Menu at the top of many of our pages. The menu initially consists of a "Home" link, two pull down menus, a "Goto Page" button, and the page name that will be visited.

The first pull down menu identifies the game that you wish to see. The second pull down indicates the type of information you want to see, such as History, Analytic, Multiplier, Odds pages, etc. Depending on the choice here, another pull down menu may or may not be displayed.

If we have a page that satisfies your selection criteria, the page name will be shown on the right. If we do not have a page yet, an error message will be shown.

We hope that the addition of this new navigation menu will assist you in locating and visiting all of the pages that we provide for you. Additionally, as new lotteries and pages are added to our site, this new Navigation Menu will be automatically updated for your use.

Crazy Combo Trivia to ponder while waiting for the $218M Powerball Drawing

Two of our favorite lotteries drew unique crazy combinations the past few days that which we thought might interest you.

The first was Hot Lotto, whose numbers on Saturday, April 2, 2011 were:

16 20 25 28 34 and Hot Ball 14.

Looking at the deltas between these numbers, we find 04 - 05 - 03 - 06. When we move the Hot Ball to the beginning, we obtain a delta of 02 to the first number. Re-arranging these, we get a sequential delta series of :

02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06.

The second game was Texas Two Step which selected the 4 white ball series on Thursday March 31, 2011:

03 04 09 16

Looking at these numbers we find that the 3rd ball (09) is the square of the first number (03), and that the 4rd ball (16) is the square of the second number (04).

These are simply two more pieces lottery trivia that will keep you amused while you are waiting for the big $218 million Powerball drawing this Wednesday night.
