Mobile Lottery Options
Playing the lottery can involve a trip to the lottery terminal, standing in long lines to purchase lottery tickets when the jackpots are big and dealing with traffic. Now some lotteries are giving lottery players the chance to purchase lottery tickets with mobile devices and cell phones. Many lotteries also allow internet access and the ability to create a lottery account online. Social networking websites such as Twitter allow lottery players to check lottery results instantly using cell phones and other mobile devices.

In the UK lottery players can create an account with the UK National Lottery and players can enter and purchase lottery tickets using text messages. Users of this service report that it is quick and efficient. In South Africa ATM access and SMS banking have been combined to allow lottery players the opportunity to use cell phones to play the South African lottery. There are now mobile applications available in the UK that allows players to receive lottery results via text message. The service is available on all phone networks in the UK and the charge is 25p per message.

There are mobile phone applications that allow lottery players access to services that will help the player pick lottery numbers. Statistics have shown that most big lottery winners have had their ‘lucky’ numbers picked by some sort of random number generator. There are many services available that provide access to lottery number generators and these can easily be found online. Many of these services offer free accounts and also provide lottery results.

Lottery players who find themselves in another city or town can use mobile maps to find the nearest lottery retailer. Simply go to the mobile web and scan the maps to find the nearest lottery retailer. Mobile banking is becoming popular in many parts of the world and those who have this service can purchase lottery tickets at the terminal using a cell phone. This service is expected to be widely available in the very near future.

In the US some states have now established websites and some allow players to make an online lottery purchase. Although there have been some problems with online ticket sales due to anti online gambling legislation in the US the problems are swiftly being resolved. States that allow players to purchase lottery tickets online hope to boost lottery related revenue to help with rising budget deficits. It is only a matter of time before US lotteries catch up with their European counterparts.

What is so special about the XBOX 360? (Page 1 of 2)

March 6, 2018   Game type   No comments

Do you know what is so special about the Xbox 360?

Here are a few of the cool features you can expect from it:

Ring of Light and Xbox Guide Button.

The ring of light is the power button and it is divided into four quadrants that can display a number of different colors depending on what is going on.

The Xbox 360 Guide button is prominently featured on the controller as well as the Xbox 360 remote. This will enable you to instantly access information on the individual who just challenged you on Xbox Live. Or you can even jump right to where you can find downloadable content for the game you are currently playing. The Xbox Guide button will also enable you to turn the Xbox 360 system on and off from the comfort of your sofa. That is one great idea that has long been overdue.

Xbox Live – There will be two types of Xbox Live for the Xbox 360.

The Silver version is free. It allows you to access the Xbox Live Marketplace as well as communicate with your peers using voice chat. However, you can’t play games online.

With the Xbox 360 console in Gold version of Xbox Live, you get all of the possible features. Most importantly, you can play games online. Your results and statistics will be stored so you can check them whenever you want. You will also be able to use video chat and video messaging.

Microsoft has announced all new Xbox 360 owners will get Gold Service feature for the 1st 30 days. Right after that, the pricing will be similar to Xbox Live on the current Xbox.

Xbox Live Marketplace.

Another great feature of Xbox 360. The marketplace is an area where you will be able to download game demos and trailers as well as new content for games such as new levels, characters, vehicles, weapons, and many others. Some things are free of charge but you will have to pay for some premium content.

Digital Entertainment.

The Xbox 360 makes it possible for you to rip your music to the hard drive to be used during games. It will also stream music off of any MP3 player that you plug in to the USB 2.0 ports. This is including Sony PSP.

You can also upload photographs to the hard drive and share them with your friends on Xbox Live. The Xbox 360 also features DVD movies. Unlike the original Xbox, the Xbox 360 can display them in progressive scan. It seems like DVD playback will be available out of the box and will not require the purchase of an extra remote or anything. Definitely an improvement.

Personalizing your console.

With the interchangeable faces of the system itself, you can change the color of your system whenever you want by simply snapping on a new face.

You don’t even have to buy new faces because you could basically paint the stock face yourself. It is guaranteed that Microsoft will roll out a line of limited edition and collectible faces to lure people in, though.

You will also have the ability to customize the look and feel of the Xbox Guide browser on the system. Suspiciously similar to changing themes in Windows on your computer. Customization is always a good thing and while these features do not really mean anything in the long run, they definitely provide a nice change every once in awhile.
