International Climate Change Lottery a Possibility
Lotteries are popular around the world and provide funding for a wide variety of government programs, charities, veterans groups and many other organizations. Despite the ongoing global recession lotteries continue to do well and make a profit. In the US most states operate lotteries and there are two major multi state lotteries, Powerball and Mega Millions. Several countries have national lotteries such as the UK and Canada. In Europe the cross border lottery EuroMillions is popular and offers huge tax free jackpots. So far no one has implemented a global lottery but that may change if participants at the next climate change meeting in Cancun Mexico have their way.
The idea of a global lottery has been around since the 1970s and is has been estimated that the global lottery market is worth about $126 billion dollars a year with gross profits amounting to $62 billion dollars a year. Climate change is a controversial topic in many countries but proponents of the global lottery say that it could fund a wide variety of research projects. Revenue generated by the climate change lottery would be channeled to one or many climate research funds.
There are several hurdles that would have to be overcome. Opposition from established government sanctioned lotteries is almost certain. It has been estimated that the global lottery could siphon profits from other lotteries to the tune of $6.2 billion dollars a year resulting in diminished profits for state and national lotteries. Political opposition from any of the first world countries could easily kill any lottery deal. In some countries religious concerns could prevent participation in a global lottery and ethical concerns would have to be addressed.
A global climate change lottery would attract many people who do not normally participate in state and national lotteries. Climate change is a hot topic and many have strong views in favor of climate research and would probably participate and buy lottery tickets for a climate change lottery. The sale of tickets for the climate change lottery would have to be addressed. In Europe, New Zealand and Australia players can purchase online lottery tickets but in the US recently passed online gaming laws and vague regulations could pose a problem for ticket sales.
Some proponents of the climate change lottery have suggested using the EuroMillions lottery as a model for the global climate change lottery. EuroMillions is a joint multi nation lottery where the bets of participants in nine countries are pooled into a larger jackpot. An International Climate Change Lottery could be a step in the right direction and would not cost taxpayers a dime!
Increase Your Chances of Winning the Lottery (Page 1 of 2)
If someone wants to try out their luck, top lottery games can be the best bet in the world. And for that, you need eLottery Syndicate. By becoming an eLottery Syndicate member you will get an edge over the average person buying a ticket from elsewhere. You raise your chances of winning by a whopping 706 % in the eLottery Syndicate EuroMillions alone.
It is natural for one to doubt the process and system, especially for those who are not familiar with eLottery Syndicate.
But this Syndicate is supported and backed by a top British company known as Virtual World Direct (VWD). This company has been in the lottery business for more than seven years. It boasts of over 200,000 eLottery Syndicate members from 136 nations in its e-lottery membership, and the figure is constantly growing.
On joining a UK lotto syndicate, you get connected with a powerful team that plays with a huge number of entries in Wednesday as well as Saturday draws. Normally, while playing the UK National Lottery, you need to match 6 numbers, which includes 5 main numbers and the bonus ball, to hit the jackpot. However, when you are a member of eLottery Syndicate, you need to match just 5 main numbers, as your bonus ball is guaranteed in each single draw.
The biggest benefit is that the odds of your eLottery Syndicate lotto numbers winning the jackpot are now just 1 in 1.9 million, and not 1 in 14 million.
It was in the early 2002 when VWD released e-lottery syndicates for the first time. Today, in the 7th year, this lottery system has gained huge popularity. It now offers top quality products, with many being launched this year as well. Its first product was the UK National Lottery Syndicate for the e-lottery brand. This provides UK Lottery players a 733 % advantage over the players buying tickets in the traditional fashion.
The second product was the huge EuroMillions Syndicate. It began on account of the formation of Euro Millions in Europe in February 2004. As a member of this syndicate, you get a stunning 3600 % advantage over the other players with normal tickets. This amazing thing happens because both the “lucky star” numbers are surefire in each EuroMillions draw. Hence, your chances of hitting a winner become just 1 in 3, instead of 1 in 103. Mind blowing, isnt it?
On 23 February 2009 e-Lottery added 11 Spanish Superdraws to its eLottery syndicate system; these will sit along side the 1st Superdraw, the El Gordo, which was added at the back end of 2008. These 12 draws boast prize funds ranging from 84 million to a staggering 2.6 billion! You are guaranteed to win at least 1 prize in each of the biggest 3 special draws; however, in the remaining 9 Spanish National Lottery Superdraws, each e-Lottery syndicate member is guaranteed to share no less than 3 prizes.
In May 2009 e-Lottery launched the Golden Ticket promotion. Simply for playing in one of the great eLottery syndicates, players are awarded virtual Golden Tickets which are then entered into monthly prize draws where a variety of quality electrical goods can be won. These Golden Tickets will continue to be awarded to players week after week for as long a they stay subscribed to one or more of the e-Lottery syndicate games.
