Perhaps the most appealing thing about the lottery in its current form is the fact that there are so many different games you can get involved in. Once upon a time, the main Lotto draw was the only one you could play, but now there are instant win games and the Euromillions.

You should also keep in mind that both the Euromillions draw and the main Lotto draw happen twice a week, so you effectively have four chances to win big money in just seven days. The Euromillions draw has proved really successful in recent times because it has dished out huge jackpots – some clocking in at over £100m!

Access is another area in which the lottery has improved significantly. There was a time when the only way you could play the lottery was to get down to the shop and buy a paper ticket. However, most people nowadays play the lottery using the internet.

There are a number of benefits to using the internet to play the lottery. Firstly, it is more convenient. You can buy your lottery ticket whenever it occurs to you. Secondly, backing up your lottery ticket online means that it is stored nice and securely in case you win.

Online lottery is really exciting because there are loads of other games you can get involved in along the way – including instant jackpots. If you fancy giving yourself a shot at winning some really impressive jackpots then how is the time to learn the rules and start getting involved in the lottery.

Lots of factors appeal to lottery players, but perhaps the most important of the current form is the fantastic range of games there are available to play. The Lotto draw used to be the only lottery games that fans could enjoy, but since then more games have been devised, including the Euromillions.

The Euromillions and the main Lotto draw actually happen twice a week, which means that you’ve got four chances to win some fantastic cash prizes over the course of each week. Some recent jackpots on the Euromillions have added up to over £100m so there is ample incentive to get involved in this game in particular!

It also helps that the lottery is so much more accessible nowadays than in the past. It was once the case that you could only enjoy the lottery if you bought a paper ticket from a local shop or supermarket. Of course, nowadays people play the lottery online as well.

The advantages of playing the lottery on the internet are particularly positive. Logging on to buy your ticket without having to visit the shops makes it very convenient to play. Moreover, an online ticket is recorded on your account which represents a safer way to play than with paper tickets.

Part of the excitement of playing the lottery online comes from the extra games there are available. If you like the sound of winning big money on the main draws, or you enjoy the chance to win instantly on smaller applications online, then it makes sense to explore some of the opportunities currently available.

Resident DJ Clint Boon of the Inspiral Carpets, and Dave Haslam of Hacienda fame are the live-in DJs while Jeff Hordley who plays Cain Dingle in Emmerdale has also featured throughout the last 5-10 years as a regular spinner of the decks.

South in located at 40a South King Street, Manchester, close to Deansgate. Be prepared to drink Red Stripe from a can, and wine from a plastic glass if you are a lady.

Its a 3 floor place, with a range of singers who flurry up and down the stairs singing live music, classics that everyone knows. There is also a table magician, but bring some change to tip.

It’s not cheap, but is well worth the money if you have a special occasion to celebrate. Sometimes it’s a set menu, other times there’s more variety. You may even be able to do a bit of celebrity spotting. Last time I went Emmanuel Adebayor and Boris Becker were in there.

A party of us went the other month, and had a really nice meal at the Chinese restaurant in the same building. The location is 2 Watson Street, Manchester, M3 4LP.

I played roulette, mainly because I’m not good enough at poker to risk my money against other people. Roulette is simply a game of chance, and although I mainly stick to red or black or odd or even, this time I began to play the numbers (mainly because after a few too many beers I felt like I had a chance).

Remarkably, the number 16 turned into my lucky number. It just came into my head when I was doing rather badly (possibly because Roy Keane is one of my favourite all time United players and used to wear the number). Incidentally, Man Utd were reportedly having their Christmas party there the same night, but we never saw any of the players, just Z listers from Hollyoaks.

Anyway, the number 16 came up twice in about half an hour and I decided to quit the table £260 better off.

Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes is in the basement of the Tavistock Hotel in London, close to Tavistock Square.

The night is really fun. You can get drunk, where smart casual attire (many people join in with the 1950s theme that usually goes down at weekends) and dance the night away to ’50s and ’60s classics. I’ve seen quiffs bigger than Elvis’, checked shirts, and amazing prom style dresses. The club has an American Diner and also has booths where you can join your mates for a spot of karaoke well into the early hours. And it’s in a great location to finish the night after seeing a show in the west end. Live bands often play at weekends.

The postcode is WC1H 9EU. Have fun!!!

If you haven’t been before, the Met is a spacious restaurant/bar which is heaving at the weekend. It has a relaxed atmosphere and some people may describe it one of the classier places to go in Didsbury. It gets busier in the summer months when people take advantage of the large patio area and outside bar, and is a very popular hangout for the student types!

Food is available and the menu will suit all tastes, just make sure you don’t each much in the day as the portion sizes are huge! If you just go for the drink and fancy a quick curry on your way home, make sure you try the Gurkha Grill, a Nepalese restaurant just down the road, best curry I have had in a long time!!

Booths are available if you are looking for something a bit more private and can be booked out for a bit of personal table service! You can also order food and get that Champagne flowing.

Panacea can also be booked out for corporate events and would be a great place to entertain guests.

All in all, a great night out!
