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.

In this post you’ll hear why a fuel stop has never been more profitable anywhere in the world...

The empty fuel gauge has been an enemy of many a driver worldwide, but for one lucky gas guzzler, an empty tank is all it would take to change their life forever.

An anonymous player from Genesee County was so excited at having won $1million from a scratch-off lotto ticket, that he exited the gas station with the pump still inside the car!

According to an interview with the Michigan Lottery media team, the man has played the Winning Millions game ever since it started and started yelling, "Are you kidding me?" over and over again!

Landing such a significant win sounds amazing - but $1million doesn't make you infallible in today's world - you just have to look at previous winners to see that!

Take the unfortunate tale of William Post, for example! Back in 1988, he won $16.2million in the Pennsylvania lottery. Shortly after he had won, he was forced to declare bankruptcy. The reason? Blame was attributed to the winner's gluttonous family and friends. But ultimately, Mr Post did not look after his funds properly.

What about Michael Carroll? The UK player won an unbelievable £9.7million from the National Lottery of the UK! Merely a decade later, after years of hard partying and unscrupulous activities, Mr Carroll was desolate - and now moves logs for £10 an hour.

That's all to say, if you find yourself in a position of extreme fortune, it could be worth employing outside help. Find good accountants. Make good investments. Surround yourself with the right people. Do the right things to make your money go further.

Our key advice is to always play lotto online responsibly and never spend what you can’t afford to lose.
