The dream of many gamblers is to win in lotto. Each time they buy a ticket, they pray that it has the lucky numbers. Unfortunately, it might not happen to you in your lifetime. The statistics show that the odds to win in lotto are 1 in 41,416,353.

It makes total sense that if a person wins, s/he will rush to take the money as soon as possible. However, there is always an exception to the rules.

In February, 2025 a Melbourne man bought a lotto ticket. Soon he found out that he won the Tattslotto. The prize pool was more than $700.000. What did he do? He just put his ticket away and forgot about it, as simple as that. Only six months later he realized that he was almost a millionaire, when he heard about unclaimed money prize on TV.

"When I checked my ticket in February and realized I’d won, I thought I’d be excited, but it turns out I was just overwhelmed."

It's a strange story. Usually people spend on tickets more than they can actually win. The only thing they have is a blind hope that "one day I get this lucky ticket". Then you hear the story of a man, who just forgot about his thousands of dollars. Indeed, maybe it was the amnesia?

My advice would be – keep on trying because you never know where your luck is waiting for you. There are many reliable online providers, for instance William Hill. Stick to them and make your best wishes come true.

Even though many people would say it is Las Vegas where you can find the highest concentration of bookies per square meter, statistics would debate on that and bring up a counter-proof. It is actually the High Street North, in east London – the place that hosts 18 bookies.

Funny fact is the bookmakers there offer their punters grayish machines, with such games as "Dragon’s Flame" and "Star Wars". Yet the most popular section seems to be the Video Roulette. The councilors say, it is the fact that the ball loops around the wheel so much faster than in real life which makes it much more appealing than ever before.

Pretty specific for this east London street is the fact that unlike tradition has it, there are no neon lights, nor signals to announce the jackpot, and one will never hear the rewarding sound of the falling coins. It is because of the efficiency on which the bookies focused their attention to. Everything happens fast & silently, so that the gamblers don't get distracted. Also, the winners will cash out their reward on printing paper slips, which are later traded by the shop attendant.

Certain gambling activities to be banned in the city of Liverpool

Looks like casino games enthusiasts in Liverpool will not be able to try their luck on games like slots and roulette in local betting shops as fixed-odds betting machines are going to be banned in the city.

Liverpool call for government to ban fixed-odds betting terminals or give councils powers to limit stakes and restrict betting shop numbers because people lose money that barely afford. Liverpool City Council states that it supports a motion to ban these machines due to the speed as well as the amount at which money can be bet. People claim that these machines allow people to bet at four times the rate than normal casinos allow.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, pledges to take an appropriate look at the issue after an inquiry was raised in the Commons. The Association of British Bookmakers says no evidence has been produced to show the machines cause problems with gambling.

The city council is the first in the UK to initiate such a move and has called upon other local authorities to follow them in this particular issue. It says that it would like to see these machines removed from betting shops and would like to see limits placed on the amount that people can bet. Liverpool City Council does not have the power to utter ban such machines.
