LOL Bingo Southport sponsored feature
The team at the new LOL Bingo lounge on Lord Street are looking forward to Christmas in Southport. 
They have been busy putting up their festive decorations, as well as what they believe may be “the best Christmas tree on Lord Street!” 
Colleagues at LOL Bingo are very excited about a packed day of festive family entertainment this Saturday in the Town Hall Gardens opposite their window, as the Southport Christmas Spectacular takes place. 
LOL Bingo Director Mike Smith said: 
“It’s definitely looking festive in here now! All our decorations are up, including our magnificent tree, which we think is the best looking one on Lord Street.
“This is our first Christmas in Southport since we opened our doors at the start of October and we’re very excited to experience it. 
“We’re all really looking forward to seeing everything going on for the Southport Christmas Spectacular – the town centre should be busy! 
“We’d love to welcome people to call in for a game of bingo or two, either during the day, or in the evening after the event has taken place, or at the start of their night out. 
“LOL Bingo is open seven days a week from 10am until midnight, so we’re looking forward to a busy few weeks over the festive period. 
“We’ve had a fantastic response since we opened, and we’ve loved meeting everyone. 
“We’re still keen to let people know that we open late, until midnight. 
“This is the perfect place to start your night out, with a fun game of bingo, with a free bottle of Prosecco for any party of six or more. 
“We also have interactive dart boards; an American style pool table; a free jukebox and more. 
We also have a licensed bar too with a variety of drinks on sale. 
“This is our third LOL Bingo venue, adding to our other sites in Manchester and Newcastle, and we love being in Southport. 
“The community spirit and togetherness in this town is unbelievable, and we’re so pleased to be a part of it.
“We’re looking forward to a superb Saturday and a great Christmas period.” 
LOL Bingo was officially opened on 3rd October 2025 by former Southport bingo managers Derick Moss (general manager at Ladbrokes Lucky Seven / The Garrick 1974-1979) and John Waby (general manager at Ladbrokes Lucky Seven / The Garrick 1980-1981). 
The new venture opened at 229-233 Lord Street, in the former Lavish Homes unit on the corner of Lord Street and Scarisbrick Avenue, near The Scarisbrick Hotel. 
The new local independent business has been opened thanks to a £350,000 investment in the site, with the creation of eight new jobs. 
LOL Bingo Lounge Manager Jenny Phillips and her team have been on hand to welcome the first customers to Southport’s newest attraction. 
This is the third LOL Bingo in the UK, adding to other sites already operational in Harpurhey in Manchester and Wallsend in Newcastle. The firm has big ambitions to keep growing and to open more lounges in the coming years.

Will the Friday, Nov. 14, Mega Millions lottery drawing result in another billion-dollar lottery drawing? Let’s just say the jackpot is very close.
According to the Florida Lottery, the Mega Millions jackpot rose to $980 million this holiday season.
The lotteries have rolled over since the last jackpot was struck June 27, growing steadily throughout the summer and fall to nearly $1 billion. The last time someone in Florida claimed a Mega Millions jackpot was Aug. 8, 2023, for $1.58 billion, taking home $794.2 million after their ticket matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball. That ticket was purchased at a Publix in Neptune Beach, Florida.
“The holidays are the perfect time to give back,” Florida Lottery Secretary John Davis said in a news release. “Each Mega Millions ticket bought in Florida gives back to education through contributions to the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. That’s a true gift that keeps on giving.”
For those who remember the 2024 holiday season lottery rush, this record-setting jackpot surpasses the Dec. 20, 2024, drawing of $862 million. The Powerball at the time had reached $1 billion (see below) by Christmas and Hannukah and was eventually won by Rosemary Casarotti of California.
If the $980 million Mega Millions drawing for Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, rolls over, it would be the 14th time in history a lottery jackpot reached $1 billion. In addition, according to the California Lottery, a single ticket that matches five numbers, missing only the Mega Ball, in the Friday night drawing would be worth more than $4 million. Lottery organizations are reminding players to check their tickets for second-tier and third-tier prizes in the event of a rollover.
Who won the biggest prizes ever? Keep scrolling for more information and a list.
After no one matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball in the Tuesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day Mega Millions drawing, the jackpot jumped from $900 million to $965 million overnight, eventually reaching $980 million for Friday, Nov. 14. If the drawing rolls over, it’ll certainly become another billion-dollar jackpot.
For the last billion-dollar lottery streak, which eventually resulted in a $1.787 billion Powerball prize for a pair of winners from St. Louis, Missouri, and Fredericksburg, Texas, the jackpot was at a whopping $950 million for Wednesday, Aug. 27. A day before the Saturday, Aug. 30, drawing, Florida Lottery announced the game reached the coveted $1 billion jackpot.
That series rolled over for another week before the $1.8 billion Powerball win.
Another rollover would mark the 14th time in history that a Mega Millions or Powerball lottery jackpot reached or surpassed $1 billion. Only once did a grand prize reach $2 billion (see below).
For those wondering, the current Powerball lottery jackpot sits at $546 million for Saturday, Nov. 15.

The Mega Millions jackpot was last won on Friday, June 27, 2025, when a ticket in Virginia matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball to win a $348 million prize.
Below is a recap of lottery drawings for the latest streak.
As of Nov. 14, 2025, there have been 13 lottery jackpots that have reached or surpassed $1 billion. Only once has a jackpot surpassed $2 billion. These are the biggest lottery jackpots in U.S. history.

Four main numbers plus two lucky stars matched will win you £844.70. The EuroMillions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday, where players can be in a chance to scoop millions from just £2.50.

Four main numbers plus two lucky stars matched will win you £844.70.
If you’re lucky enough to win the Euromillions jackpot, there are a number of things you are advised to do. They include:
The luckiest Euromillions number is reportedly 20. It has been drawn 111 times since September 2016.
Number 21 is close behind in frequency, having been drawn 108 times. However, 22 astoundingly ranks as one of the least drawn numbers at just 66 occurrences.
There are a number of unclaimed National Lottery and Euromillions winnings across the UK. These include one £100,000 winner, three £1 million winners, and one £3.6 million winner.
Winners have 180 days (about six months) from the date of the draw to claim their prize. After that, the money is transferred to National Lottery-funded community projects around the UK.
All you have to do is pay £2.50 and pick five numbers and two Lucky Stars. Alternatively, you can select the Lucky Dip option which randomly selects the numbers for you. This can be done online or in participating stores until 7.30pm tonight.
