Mega Money lottery player becomes mega rich!

Some celebrity used to say that nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. And this is definitely a wide though behind lotteries, dating, and religion. I just like to think Homer Simpson-like and say that if you really want something in this life you have to work hard for it! But now you just have to shut up as we’re about to announce the lottery numbers that changed one’s life.
The Florida Lottery reported that one ticket matched the four winning numbers! Not only that! The winner also got his/ her hands on the Mega Ball number to collect $500,000 in the Mega Money game. Although they gave no info on the identity, lottery officials said the winning ticket was bought in Palmetto.
The news comes after Florida Lottery announced the $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off game winner, Mrs. Linda McLaughlin, age 50, of Jacksonville.
Besides the huge sack of money she won, the retailer said she will receive a bonus of $20,000 for selling the winning Florida Lottery ticket. McLaughlin said she carefully scratched the ticket while still on the to discover the it was not a winner, then she said: "Something told me to go buy one more of those $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Florida lotto tickets and sure enough it was a $1 million winner," And when she was asked if she plans on returning to the deli where she works, Mrs. McLaughlin said she was unsure: "I think, for now, my boss is just happy to be the retailer who sold the winning Florida lotto ticket because Publix has a $20,000 bonus check coming their way," she added.
However, going back to the Mega Money lottery game, which gave away 500.000 bucks, we also found out that nine tickets won $918.50 each, for picking 4-of-4, while 57 tickets won $317.50 each for picking 3-of-4 and the extra Mega Ball number! Also, 1,188 tickets won $45.50 each for picking 3-of-4 and 1,542 tickets won $24 each for picking 2-of-4 plus the Mega Ball. The official press release mentioned 12,400 won $3 each for matching one number plus the Mega Ball; 36,558 tickets won $2 each for picking 2-of-4; and 27,522 won a free Quick Pick ticket for matching the Mega Ball.
Since I am sure you all want to know the magic number sequence, that was drawn Tuesday night, we’re gladly to say they were 4-5-21-31 and the Mega Ball was 2!
So, what does everybody do after winning at lottery? First they give up they daily job, and then of course, they buy new fancy cars and gifts for all relatives, friends. Most of them go in cruise holiday or maybe moving to a bigger house… and that's where the extravagance often ends.
And here’s what others, including me, would do if winning the top prize at lottery. First, email a photo with me and the pile of money to all the enemies, then buying a dog for security issues, the a trip to Tokio with the complemented shopping spree, then the latest PlayStation games and a Harley- Davidson Sportster bike, afterwards one tiny apartment in Faro and then going to Harvard. Of course, there will also be some extra money for all the WowWee cute robot collection and a Porsche Cayman S Edition… and maybe if I am really lucky… I could even start a business to get even more bucks out of it! But, hey that’s just my humble list…

Trump Plaza reveals secret poker room

You never know what to expect from Trump, the casino “Godfather”. Now he’s selling one Marina casino and the next second he opens a luxurious poker room, right inside the already famous Plaza giant.
According to a recent press release, the Plaza opened its doors, on its latest improved areas for casino games. After significant improvements, the new space was named “The East Tower Poker Room”. The same media source announced the room will make its debut with twelve PokerPro tables, later this month, as it’s currently waiting for an official approval from the NJ State Casino Control Commission.
There is no doubt poker has gained its reputation as being the new gaming addition. This also happens inside Trump Plaza Casino, so the adding of PokerPro feature is only going to attract even more players. And what’s really important, especially for a business of such magnitude, is that the new poker room will gather both the traditional poker players, as well as those who have been curious about the game, but didn't have the chance to get into some serious action.
Regarding the matter, the General Manager for Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Mr. Jim Rigot explained: "The Poker Room at Trump Plaza will be the latest location for poker buffs to play in Atlantic City, just steps off the Boardwalk. Our state-of-the-art poker room will have competitive game offerings, flat screen televisions, a comfortable lounge, with convenient food and beverage offerings and low-limit blackjack tables. When you consider the increased hands per hour and a $3.00 rake, it becomes an obvious choice for even the most seasoned players."
Now, for those who aren’t poker savvy, you should know PokerPro is the latest in casino games technology. It consists of an automated poker game, where all hands are being dealt electronically to players seated at a traditional-style poker table that can accommodate up to ten people. Besides its improved functionality, there is also a clear view of the pot size and chip count during this interactive game.
In addition to this good high-techy news, it has been also reported that the giant PokerTek, a worldwide leader in automated poker tables and related software, has also announced huge interest in this matter. So huge was the interest, that they have even signed a contract with Trump Plaza to offer PokerPro field trial.
Here’s what PokerTek CEO, Mr. Chris Halligan said: "Trump Plaza has done an amazing job transforming this new room and crafting the perfect combination of amenities that are sure to make it a premier poker destination. We are proud to enter our New Jersey field trial with Trump Plaza, and look forward to introducing the speed, accuracy and cool new features of automated poker to the poker players of Atlantic City."
So, giving the entire story line, by implementing the latest stuff in the casino gadgetry, Trump Plaza is going to make another serious statement in the casino industry. Hopefully, we’ll provide even more news about this in the future. Meanwhile, if you want more info on the system, go on Trump Plaza’s official website, which, by the way, looks chic and clever…you know, so…Trump style!

The fellowship of the Full Tilt, starring Patrik Antonius!

We saw it coming, though not that soon, as the ‘apprentice’ might not be ready yet! According to a recent press release, Full Tilt Poker's Team Full Tilt has announced a rare addition to its global network, welcoming an international poker pro and online giant, namely the sexy skillful player Patrik Antonius.
Since, from now on, he will be representing Full Tilt Poker, which is the second largest online poker site in the world, Mr. Patrik Antonius will now join the professional club of Team Full Tilt which includes fellow poker stars such as: Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon, John Juanda, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, and Allen Cunningham who have collectively won 32 WSOP bracelets. As you can see this gang is perhaps the best around.
It’s really cool that, at 27 years old, Antonius is the youngest poker pro to be invited to join the Team Full Tilt. However, the EPT winner and poker icon already boasts career tournament earnings of nearly $2.7 million and is widely considered to be one of the best all-around players, whether it be large tournaments, live cash games, or online. Besides that, he also worked as a model in Finland, so it embodies both beauty and brains.
When being asked about the accomplishment, Patrik Antonius responded: "As everyone knows, Team Full Tilt has all the top pros in the world and I'm honored to now be a member of such a legendary team.”
A Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer added: "Patrik Antonius is a young rising star in the poker world that has shown he will be a force for decades to come. We are thrilled he has joined the team."
As for the Team Full Tilt, the team has been pretty much unstoppable on the tournament circuit this year and the addition of Brad Pitt look-a-like will only add to this threat.
Nevertheless, the Team's 2008 best times began in January with Howard Lederer winning the $100K No-Limit Hold ‘em event at the Aussie Millions for a first place prize of AU$ 1.25 million, followed by Erik Seidel's second place finish at the main event where in took home AU$ 1 million.
Afterwards, in February, Phil Ivey added a World Poker Tour title to his already impressive resume by winning the $10,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship Event at the Los Angeles Poker Classic, taking home $1.59 million. In March, fellow Team Full Tilt member Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, the man who- “can cut a carrot in half with a playing card from 10 feet away” established himself as the world's premier heads-up poker player by winning the $20,000 buy-in National Heads Up Poker Championship at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, claiming the title and $500,000 in prize money.
Beware fellas, the gang is complete!

Bingo Day gives away Las Vegas experience prize!

I have checked out some statistics which shown that three out of four people carry good-luck charms, whether they admit it or not. So, now, would be a good time to bring in your lucky socks, karma jewelry, or some other lucky shit you have.
Attention all bingo players! According to a recent press release, it seems that one damn lucky player at the online Bingo hall, Bingo Day, will be given the chance to win the holiday of a lifetime to… Las Vegas.
You should also know that the Bingo competition is running throughout June at Bingoday.com and its partner site Bingo Day UK. In addition, they said the first runner up will receive $1,000 and more cash prizes will be awarded to runners up placed 3-25, which means you, have up to 25 chances to win something memorable.
Furthermore, another reason to be thrilled with this event is the fact that during a Bingo game, each time a player wins, whether it is on a 1 line, 2 line or Full House round, as they automatically get 1 point added to their Las Vegas ‘goodie bag’. Not to mention players using the 'in chat' option will also receive an additional Chat Game Bonus point, just because they choose to use the voice feature.
Moreover, at Bingo Day, in order to play for the big holiday prize, players need to visit the 75 Ball-Halls and players at Bingo Day UK can visit the 90 Ball-Halls and all players must watch for the Las Vegas Pattern to play.
Thrilled by the entire deal, Bingo Day's hall manager, Mr. Ted Cunningham exclaimed: "We are delighted with all the attention this big prize giveaway has received. It's currently one of the biggest online Bingo competitions on the net and is bringing a lot of entertainment to our members --as well as the opportunity to win big."
To make sure everyone sees who the ‘Bingo daddy’ is, they have came up with an idea of using a weekly leader board, being posted on Bingoday.com and Bingo Day UK. In that way, members can check up on their tournament position and total point count.
So, before you pack your bags and head to Las Vegas, now would be an excellent time to improve your bingo playing strategy. On the other hand, there is always the "dumb luck” you can count on. Either way, I suggest you stay in your comfortable seat, concentrate and enjoy the game, better than squirming around, worrying about bad karma. Las Vegas could be a magic number away!

Wow: Greektown to lose $15.9million?

There is this piece of news you may find intriguing! Detroit News media source has reported on: Greektown Casino’s ‘not- so- great’ situation.
Apparently, a financial adviser for the gambling facility told a state panel that the casino company is expected to lose about $15.9 million this year. How come? Well, although there has been no official position regarding the current situation, it seems that its bottom line absorbs $13.5 million due to major bankruptcy restructuring costs and another $51 million in loan interest payments. Wow!
The same media source said that a financial consulting firm working on Greektown's reorganization, namely Mr. Charles Moore of Conway MacKenzie & Dunleavy has told members of the Michigan Gaming Control Board: "'Most of this loss is related to the bankruptcy restructuring costs. Significant debt payments are also a factor."
In addition, as Greektown's financials board meeting was called specifically to discuss emergency financing for the casino, the crisis might be quite severe. Moreover, it has been rumored that Greektown is seeking a total of $150 million in financing and that a remainder in this regard will come before the bankruptcy court at a later date.
Detroit News has also said that Greektown also revealed its specific terms for a bankruptcy exit, which, Moore explained it would happen 'sometime in 2009.' He has also said that by Feb. 29, Greektown will have to seek bids for a sale of the completed casino-hotel complex or financing sufficient to exit bankruptcy and final offers would be due by June 1. Shocking news you may say, although analysts have predicted lots of situations of this kind, due to US’s economical malfunctions.
Overall, things seems to be going six feet under for Greektown, as according to bankruptcy court records, the company has projected 2008 loss comes after a $2 million profit on revenues of $314.6 million in 2007. However, they say the expected loss won't affect wagering taxes paid to the state of Michigan and city of Detroit, because those are based on revenues, not profits.
What’s even surprising is the speed of the bankruptcy procedures. Imagine! Moore said a deal with Entertainment Interests Group to buy a 40 percent interest in Greektown may fall through." Gee, I wonder why!

Casino extra stuff: Trump Marina hosts 'Thunder from Down Under'

So, tell me, do you what happens if you get into a swimming pool full of piranha? Because, I have a feeling that what these ‘shanky- panky’ boys are going to experience is pretty much the same thing.
As you might have notices, in recent years, the Trump Marina Hotel Casino has been wasting away in Atlantic City's super-competitive casino market, searching for its lost shaker of salt. And this time, it waists its main purpose on small show biz stuff like this.
What’s the story? Well, apparently, Australia's Thunder From Down Under, the ‘sizzling’ male revue named "Best Male Strip Show" by the Las Vegas Review Journal for three consecutive years in Las Vegas and "Best Adult Attraction" by AOL's City Guide, will be performing at ‘The Shell’ in Trump Marina from Saturday, June 14 through Sunday, August 31. Ladies, let me finish, first!
According to a recent press release, the internationally acclaimed show that has appeared on the famed Las Vegas Strip for the past 10 years, takes male revues to a new level of excitement, although they haven’t said anything about any super terrific casino playing, just some stripping, which is said to be is "eye candy" for women of all ages who can transform into a pack of hungry wolves near the muscle bags. I bet if they get to gamble and put one of these deliciously naughty meat packs as a stake, the ladies are going to go wild and the cash is going to flow in rivers.
So, the same media sources say that Trump Marina casino is going to host a dynamic dance routines, gymnastics, break dancing, colorful costumes, state-of-the-art lighting, humor and hard bodies all add up to Thunder being a unique experience. Still, without any deck of cards and Patrik Antonius around, it won’t be that fun!
Besides chic and sophisticated hotel rooms or suites, Trump Marina features a great casino lounge where guests are given the opportunity to win big with non-stop giveaways of cash, cars and trips. Thunder has performed in more than a dozen foreign countries including Russia, Mexico, Ireland, England, Canada and South Africa.
Plus, Thunder has appeared on numerous national television shows including some popular ones like: "The View" , “The Tyra Banks Show," E! Entertainment's "12 Sexiest Jobs in Las Vegas," and was even on NBC's "Las Vegas" series where Thunder was featured in a major plot line.
Keep in mind that the whole peep show, I mean terrific show is set to begin around 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 9 p.m. on Sundays, as well as in Dark Mondays and Tuesdays, and on Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12.
The Vice President of Entertainment at Trump Entertainment Resorts, Mr. Steve Gietka said: "More and more, women are planning 'girlfriend getaways' to destinations where they can let their hair down and enjoy live entertainment, dancing, great dining and accommodations all in one location. Thunder from Down Under is a great way to get the ladies together for bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations or any other reason to gather for a night or weekend with the girls."
Overall, let’s not forget what’s in the menu! Thunder's charismatic characters include pirate "Jack Sparrow" from "Pirates of the Caribbean," to a "Desperado" from the Wild West and a sexy, muscled fireman.
Just be careful ladies, what happens in Vegas, must stay in Vegas!
