After working in the gambling industry for over a decade, Oliver spotted an opportunity to setup a resource for lottery bettors. CompareTheLotto.com was founded in 2014 and launched a UK site firstly with a South African following shortly after and USA being launched in 2020.

Thirty years is a long time to persevere with your lucky numbers - heck, are they even lucky after that long?

For one patient Michigan man, though, the persistence paid off! After three decades of loyally standing by the numbers 3, 5, 10, 20, 28, and 31, an anonymous man from Roscommon County had his faith repaid in the most extraordinary, life-changing way!

The lucky numbers landed him a swooning $18.41 million sum on the Lotto 47 game.

He told the Michigan Lottery: "I have been playing this set of numbers since 1991 and have rarely missed a drawing. I've thought several times about trying a new set of numbers but decided to keep playing this one."

Thank goodness he didn't deviate from his numbers strategy when he bought the winning ticket from the Family E-Z Mart on East Houghton Lake Drive in Prudenville.

What will he do with all that money? Our anonymous friend is keeping it simple: "Share it with family, donate to charities, and then save the rest," he said.

Lotto 47 is a less expensive option for lotto players to take a shot at life-changing sums. Players simply need to pick six numbers between 1 and 47 at $1 per ticket. There is also the option to participate in a Double Play draw for an additional $1, which takes place after the Lotto 47.
