There's an important message in this chart which will tell you whether you should play the big jackpots or not.
In 2013 the US Powerball rolled over to $133 Million, and got many millions of players imagining what they can spend the winnings on.
Newspaper and internet media photos showed a composed, slightly smiling older woman being shepherded from the lottery office.
She looked fairly relaxed for someone who decided to receive her winnings in a lump-sum payment... an astounding $370.8 million before taxes.
The woman behind this week's second largest USA Powerball jackpot did a few things right when claiming her prize.
But a few things wrong too. The 84 year-old Florida woman will have a few problems over her win, and here's one of them:
Every win could be the jackpot, like the New Jersey Lottery Powerball $338 million win shown here.
MISSED $1 MILLION JACKPOT
OK Ken, I keep on winning small prizes, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time up to $35, but the last big one was a $1 million jackpot which I missed playing. Am I going to win big again? Or do I need to rip up my Profiles and do some new ones?
Great news on your regular wins. That means the system is steadily working for you.
Jim Carrey goes off to Fiji? No lottery there!
If you live in Fiji (Jim Carrey knows where that is, from his film The Truman Show), then your chances of winning the world's biggest jackpot are very slim.

Sometimes it's just plain interesting to see how someone else uses the Silver Lotto System to win.
So here's an email from Michael and his results playing Powerball:
Enjoy your lottery winnings today, but prepare for the future too!
A big lottery win seems to be unspendable. The vast amount in a jackpot seems limitless, like the big wins over the years... Mega Millions: $640 million, Powerball: $587.5 million, Euromillions: $260 million, SuperEnalotto: $205 million.
You could buy everything you wanted in life and still have hundreds of millions left.

There are some huge multi-million jackpots in lottery games these days. Just look near the top of the Lotto Life blog in the right hand column to see the enormous and increasing totals in the world's games.
But many people will think twice about playing if the jackpot is below a certain figure.
So if a week is less than their goal, they may decide not to play at all.
The good news is that most people think this way, which opens up the potential to Silver Lotto players. Here's why...

Last month's USA Powerball winner is hoping his money will finally bring him love.
The 44 year-old self-confessed hillbilly wants to "please a woman any way she wants," but she may have to share his hobbies. They include video games, bowling, camping, fishing and hunting.
Will the retired railway engineer from Michigan get the woman of his dreams... one who wants to dine out with him at McDoanald's and share the simple life? He sure hopes so.

The Euromillions £105 million jackpot is bigger than Nigel Page's $56 million record set in 2010.
Twice a day I settle down into my Aeron executive chair and tap away at the Mac keyboard.
I'm updating jackpot figures for the biggest lotteries in the world.
And quite honestly, some of those amounts just don't get me revved up at all.
It has got to the point that anything under $10 million seems hardly worth it.
Winning the lottery is more than the jackpot. There are thousands of secondary prizes too.
I opened this email this morning:
"Hey Ken, I bought your Silver Lotto System, but now I see there's some other bits to it. So I'm wondering, do I really need to buy them too? Will your system work without them?"
Sure, it'll work as good as ever.
The odds of winning are pretty much the same whether you buy just the Silver Lotto System or the PRO Custom Profiles.
This is the nitty gritty on how the Silver Lotto System works:
The biggest jackpots get the most ticket sales, according to the organizers of the large lotteries.
That's fine for them, but it means you may have to share your prize with others. I recommend...

Some lotteries require their winners to appear in publicity photos as part of the contract. But this couple still wanted to retain their privacy after winning Israel Lotto's biggest draw of $20 million in 2010. It worked.
