Yet for all the noise Brazil makes in economic and sporting matters, where the country truly excels is in throwing colossal parties, the most famous being Rio de Janeiro's annual Carnival.

The post 8 Ways the Number 13 Was Lucky for Mega Millions in 2013 appeared first on | theLotter Blog - Online Lottery Tickets, Numbers and Results

Mega Millions has awarded a total of $711 million in total jackpot prizes in 2013, and the absence of a tier 1 winner in tonight's draw could create a prize worth more than all the jackpots paid out this year together! Mega Millions' record-breaking $656 million prize in 2012 may have been the lottery's induction into the big league, but 2013 is on the  brink of becoming the luckiest year the American lottery has seen yet—and the number 13 has been Mega Millions’ constant companion from January through December!

• The France National Lotto schedules super draws whenever lottery officials spot a Friday the 13^th on the horizon, and Mega Millions recently learned from its lotto colleague across the Atlantic that Friday the 13^th can be lucky in America, too! Mega Millions’ $400 million jackpot went unclaimed in the most recent draw held last Friday, the 13^th and proceeded to jump to $586 million in preparation for tonight's Mega Millions draw!

Friday's Mega Millions Breaks Into Top 5 Lottery Jackpots Ever Won

They say you can't buy happiness but it is not often that you can buy a dream for a dollar! When you buy lottery tickets online or offline, that is exactly what you look for – hope, fun and the potential to win riches beyond your wildest dreams, all for a couple of bucks. theLotter maintains a list of the top 20 lottery jackpots ever won; a list that Mega Millions and its predecessor The Big Game are entirely familiar with.

But more importantly, it also pushes October 2005′s Oregon USA Powerball winners – families Chaney and West – to number 11, and after a year of being on the sidelines, NEW Mega Millions has leveled the Top 10 scorecard, with the US lottery giants tied at five apiece.
