8 - Apologies by National Lottery after publishing wrong bonus numbers

Officials of the National lottery have offered their apologies after the wrong Lucky Star numbers were published as the winning numbers. Where both the Lucky Star numbers 5 and 8 were drawn, the results reported 5 and 6. Of course, this led to a torrent of responses and questions.

The Lucky Star numbers were part of a draw of the EuroMillions with a Jackpot of a staggering £ 19 million.

60 - Lotto winner from Canada goes on another trip to his favourite country of France

The Canadian website of CBC News reports that the winner of the Lotto Max Jackpot is going on another trip. Maurice De Gennaro succeeded in winning the massive Jackpot of $ 60 million and stated that he wanted to spend a part of the money on travelling. Two years ago, Maurice – who loves to travel – had to cut short his trip to France due to an unfortunate fall when he broke an arm and a leg.

Thanks to the dollars won in the Jackpot, France can soon look forward to a visit by the Canadian millionaire. Hopefully, he won’t have to cut his trip short this time...
