A lot of people love playing lottery games but most of the players do not really know that each year will bring different fortunes. Some Chinese fortune tellers explain that different years will bring different kinds of fortunes. Some years are good for business, some others are good for farming and many other years are good for different fields and this year of 2012 seems to be a perfect year for those who love betting games. Lottery players, with their different kinds of lotto predictions and methods are able to win so much money that they almost blow the whole lottery systems. This is true as there have been many huge jackpots won from January until the most recent month, August.
At the beginning of 2012, some lottery predictors said that this year can be the best year for lottery players and they could forecast that there would be many big jackpots and prizes won in many kinds of lotteries and other games.
