Seven lucky Computer Geeks somehow figured out a way to crack the 176 million to 1 odds to win the monster $319 million Dollar Mega-Millions Lotto Jackpot.

The seven computer nerds, who work in Albany, New York for the Homes & Community Renewal Agency, are each expected to walk away with $19,100,000 in cash after taxes.

The yet unidentified ‘Lucky Seven’ are consulting financial planners, attorneys and are currently holed up at an undisclosed location. Sources report that the winners range in age from mid-twenties to mid-fifties, and include a 54-year old man who earns $75k a year, a 41 year old woman earning $85K a year.

Since lotto tickets are considered a ‘bearer instrument’, same as cash money, the lotto commissioner is advising the lucky winners to sign the winning ticket as quickly as possible. “If the owner lost an unsigned winning lotto ticket, the finder could simply sign it and claim the money,” the lotto commissioner said.

The winning ticket is safely deposited inside the vault of one of Albany’s largest banks, according to sources connected with the winners. The winners have up to 365 days from today’s date to claim the prize, which is the third largest in US History.

“Ninety-nine percent of the people coming in winners do it that way these days. Three-hundred and nineteen million is an unimaginable amount of money. Most want a plan before they get their hands on the money,” said state lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman.

An elderly semi-retired heating engineer won 1.5 m million pounds ($2.4 million dollars) from a 2 pound bet when he chose six horses in six consecutive races that all won.

Mr. Steve Whiteley, 60, went to the racing track with his two buddies and a bottle of whiskey. They took the bus as none had more than 5 quid in their pockets. They got inside for free using a promotional coupon.

The bet he wanted to place would have cost 30 pounds so he instead chose 6 horses in 6 races and put two quid on the Tote Jackpon which has grown substantially. For the past year nobody was able to predict all 6 winners in 6 races so the jackpot kept rolling over week after week.

Mr. Whiteley, who was tanning a beer during the interview, states that he only goes to the track with his friends once or twice a year, and that playing poker is his true passion. Sometimes he uses an Online sports betting service, when he hasn’t got enough money to get to the track.
Out of the 363,000 tickets sold that day during the first race, only 9,076 tickets had the first horse picked correctly.
By the fourth race, Mr. Whitley was the only person still in play. “And then at the last he said, ‘There is only one left and it’s this one’. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t look – I am shaking like a leaf.”
When asked what he plans to do now, he eloquently replied – “Gonna tan some bevies and party!”

One lucky 57 year old woman is beginning her new life as a millionaire after winning a $1.2 million progressive slot jackpot at an Indian Reservation casino in Hogansburg, New York.

The woman, Ms. Matti Breault, decided to enjoy a night out after finalizing her divorce and losing her job a few months earlier. The casino was offering a $2000 prize giveaway, and she was hoping her luck improved and she might win a few hundred dollars to help with the bills.

When the slot machine she was playing began to loudly make noises she never heard before, she thought that she won the $2000 giveaway prize.

A nearby player told her that she hit the big one as Ms. Breault explained herself – “This lady over here is saying, ‘You won the mega million.’ And I’m saying, ‘Nope, not me. There’s something wrong with the machine. I came home and I fell asleep on the couch for about two hours and I woke up thinking oh my God, what a dream, unbelievable, you know? Then I looked over and saw the check and I started crying all over again.”

This win could not have come at a more fortunate time for the lucky winner, as she’s been having a tough patch in life over the past few years. The bank foreclosed on her house, she lost a sister to cancer, a brother and a sister-in-law died in a tragic snowmobile accident and her mother passed away a year earlier. Bad luck seemed to follow her no matter where she went.

The cheating husband and the lost job were the least of her worries.

The $800,000 (after taxes) should completely change her life 180 degrees, and her x-husband has already called, to make sure he will be a part of that change.

In the biggest win in online history for a woman and also for a Swedish citizen, one lucky player hit the ultra bloated NetEnt Slot Machine called Mega Fortune’s online Progressive Jackpot which came out to an amazing 5.3 Million Euros ($7.38M dollars).

The winner, who was practically speechless during the post-win interview, could only say – ‘It is difficult to see how much money it is, but I’ll take one day at a time and digest it all. I will buy a house and ensure that my family and loved ones are well off, and donate some to a good purpose.’

The winner wished to remain anonymous citing privacy concerns but it was revealed that she comes from a small town of Småland, and has been playing online slot machines for close to a year but only at very low limits.

In Sweden, all traditional as well as online gaming, is under the control of Sweden’s gambling monopoly and it is yet unknown whether the lucky jackpot winner was playing at an online casino within the monopoly. EU has slowly been pushing to regulate the Swedish market and allow more competition with little result as of yet.

Mega Fortune, the lucky online slot which made her a millionaire, is a very popular 5-reel, 25-payline game with the Progressive Jackpot attached. The progressive jackpot slots have already been reseeded back to $250,000 and is awaiting the next lucky winner.
