According to the survey conducted by Ipsos Reid in November the majority of people said that they would keep their jobs. 35% would quit their jobs (the most likely ones to quit their job are women at the age of 45 to 65 years old). 17% admitted that they would start their own business. 13% of the surveyed people would change their careers. 8% admitted they would go back to school, and only 3% would use a portion of their winning to start a charitable foundation.

The survey has shown “the notion of jackpot winners sailing off into the sunset never to be seen punching a time clock again is more myth than reality”.

The North Carolina Education Lottery is known to have transferred $98 million to public schools. The sum is the largest in the history of the lottery. So far this year, $114 million more has been raised that the previous year.

The launch of a UK lottery site has been recently announced by Tipp24, German lottery company. Lotto24.co.uk, the new site with a license secured from UK authorities, will provide access to a variety of European lotteries.

The launch of lotto24.co.uk followed last week’s launch of Jaxx.com, a sports betting subsidiary of Fluxx.com, Germany.

The interest of the German company in the British market is the result of “uncertainties surrounding the nation’s legislative situation and the possibility that restrictive laws could come into effect early next year”.

Despite uncertainties in German legislation, Tipp24 managed to post record third quarter earnings – almost $4.4 million, yearly revenues p 17% to $41.7 million and earnings before interest and tax up 2.4% to $7.6 million.

The company plans to stabilize its market share in the online lottery market and expects billings and revenues to grow.
