It’s every lottery player’s worst nightmare – seeing the winning numbers then realising your ticket’s been lost or damaged. Usually, a quick root around the back of the sofa or in your coat pocket produces it reasonably quickly, but what if the family dog’s digested your ticket or you’ve accidentally put it through the wash?

Everyone who plays lotteries dreams of seeing their numbers coming in and being able to buy everything from a brand-new car or a millionaire’s mansion to a designer wardrobe or a luxury holiday. Some lottery winners continue to work while others take early retirement and live off the interest created by their winnings.

In our previous article we talked about Lottery Betting. The betting system allows you to place bets on the outcome of lotto draws from around the world.

Lottery betting companies pay a premium to an insurance company for every bet placed. The insurance company then pay out the big prize if the punter chooses the correct numbers in the draw.
