Last February 22, 2009 6/49 the Philippine government’s lottery, which is run by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes office or PCSO, had its biggest pot in Philippine history that was estimated to be more than P 320,000,000.00. Around 25 million Filipinos were attracted to bet for this pot hoping that they would be the lucky enough to win it just like a construction worker from Novaliches, Quezon City, who won the April 2008 lottery which was estimated to be P249 million.
If we use statistics to find out ones chances winning the 6/49 Philippine Lotto the numbers will show how slim those chances are. There are six numbers which will be randomly chosen from a group of 49 digits and the odds of getting the right digit is 10,068,347,520. This is computed as follows, 49×48x47×46x45×44 = 10,068,347,520. This means that ones chances of winning the Philippine 6/49 lotto is one in 10 billion.
Even though I am not a fan of gambling, it has prompted me to blog about it because of all the interest and statistics it has generated. With the odds stacked against choosing the right possible combination how can one correctly choose the right combination? I have thought of two ways which I think will help you. Read more...

A radical change had occurred, allowing bikini swimwear to become more popular. Little was left to the imagination with these designs. But at the same time, the appropriate womens swimsuit choice could emphasize the best parts of a woman’s body.
Take, for example, the one piece swimsuit. There are some women who would not want to show their bellies if it was scarred. In such a situation they would want to wear a one piece to cover their midriff. When a woman wants to cover more of her body, a one piece is the preferred option. But at the same time these can also be revealing, if the neckline is low and it shows the back and thighs. These designs are excellent for women with full figures. Read more...
