Green Island’s new $250,000 spray park at the Paine Street Park, New York was built with a donation from State Lottery winners John and Linda Kutey in honor of their parents. The Kuteys donated $200,000 to construct the spray park. John Kutey was one of seven employees who cashed in a $319 million winning Mega Millions ticket in 2011. His share was $28.7 million.
There's an important message in this chart which will tell you whether you should play the big jackpots or not.
In 2013 the US Powerball rolled over to $133 Million, and got many millions of players imagining what they can spend the winnings on.
Newspaper and internet media photos showed a composed, slightly smiling older woman being shepherded from the lottery office.
She looked fairly relaxed for someone who decided to receive her winnings in a lump-sum payment... an astounding $370.8 million before taxes.
The woman behind this week's second largest USA Powerball jackpot did a few things right when claiming her prize.
But a few things wrong too. The 84 year-old Florida woman will have a few problems over her win, and here's one of them:

It's fun to test. You put your numbers in some spreadsheet program and it tells you how close you were to winning the lottery.
You compare the results with your actual Silver Lotto System numbers and get a huge fright.
"I can't even balance my checkbook," he said. "So how am I gonna figure out these lottery figures!"
Chris was a 47 year-old neighbor who loved working with his hands.
He had expanded his hobby, and built exquisite grandfather clocks that sold for thousands of dollars each. But he hated figures.
He desperately wanted to win the lottery to make his family's future more secure.
"This is your problem," said Clint, holding up a plastic part from the bottom of my shower.
He pointed to the holes drilled in it, and looked perplexed.
"First time I've seen that," he scratched his head. "It's been adapted, and not correctly either."
It started a few months back, when our hall started smelling.

I received this email from Jason T:
Ken, as you probably know the Powerball has changed its numbers. I just bought your PRO profiles for powerball a few weeks ago, so now they're useless.
What do I do now? Do I get a new profile when the game numbers change like this? Jason.
Unfortunately it's not only Powerball that change their numbers. Occasionally other lottery games will change their numbers, balls or draw times.

A while back I ran a test. Because it was so interesting and relevant right now, I thought I'd highlight it again for you.
You'll see how effective this test was in revealing the truth about lottery picks when you read it.
Here's what I did.
For the test I bought $60 worth of quick picks - tickets picked by the store's lottery computer.
The assistant looked at me with surprise.
Stones are useful for many things - as this massage patient is discovering.
I take a daily walk down our private road and out to the suburb around it.
And I take a different way every day, and go at a different time. Takes about 30-40 minutes.
And along the way I start kicking at stones on the road.
So why do I do that?

Sometimes it's just plain interesting to see how someone else uses the Silver Lotto System to win.
So here's an email from Michael and his results playing Powerball:

There's more to winning than just putting a few tickets into a draw.
That's why the serious players search for more information to help them speed up their win rate.
One of the best ways is to join the Lotto-80 Membership.
I've just finished the predictions for this week, and you can also see a free selection today.
I put them at the bottom of this post, so take a look.
It was hard learning the guitar all those years ago. Cramps in my hands, sore fingers, raw fingertips.
And the sounds that came from that junk shop instrument... muffled notes, songs that sounded like no music ever played, chords with 6 wrong notes - that's one more than the number of fingers I had.

The Miele showroom in Beverly Hills, USA.
I sauntered into the kitchen appliance store and caught the attention of one of the salesmen.
He and another guy came over.
"I've got Smeg appliances throughout our kitchen," I said, "A dishwasher, oven, gas hob and microwave, but I only need to replace the dishwasher right now."
They nodded, and I continued.

There are some huge multi-million jackpots in lottery games these days. Just look near the top of the Lotto Life blog in the right hand column to see the enormous and increasing totals in the world's games.
But many people will think twice about playing if the jackpot is below a certain figure.
So if a week is less than their goal, they may decide not to play at all.
The good news is that most people think this way, which opens up the potential to Silver Lotto players. Here's why...

Last month's USA Powerball winner is hoping his money will finally bring him love.
The 44 year-old self-confessed hillbilly wants to "please a woman any way she wants," but she may have to share his hobbies. They include video games, bowling, camping, fishing and hunting.
Will the retired railway engineer from Michigan get the woman of his dreams... one who wants to dine out with him at McDoanald's and share the simple life? He sure hopes so.
