To mark the 20th anniversary of the USA Powerball in 2012, the lottery announced that they will be makes some changes to the ticket price as well as the draw structure.
The price per ticket will increase from $1 to $2, but it’s not all doom and gloom, as the minimum jackpot will be increase from the current $20 Million to $40 Million which will put even bigger smiles on winners. The higher jackpots should mean that we will begin to see new records when it comes to rollover jackpots and perhaps a new level of the super rich being created.
If you were to match 5 numbers and not the Powerball currently you would get $200,000 but from January 2012 you would get a nice surprise when they pay you $1 Million for your efforts.
To make things more enticing the game format will also be changed, they will be reducing the pool of numbers from 39 to 35 which will result in the odds of winning the main prize coming down from 195 million:1 to 175 million in 1.
These changes will come into effect 18 January 2012.

This mega luxury yacht is currently (16 Oct 2011) listed as the biggest motor powered yacht based on it’s length, the Eclipse measures 164m / 538 ft long.
Owned by Russian businessmen Roman Abramovich, the Eclipse is a state of the art yacht and no expense was spared when building and kitting out the yacht. The vessel has two helipads, a number of Jacuzzi’s / hot tubs, two swimming pools which is rumored one can be drained and converted in to an additional dance floor. There is also a disco hall, 30 cabins (8 of which are guest sleeping quarters) and the the 5,000 sq foot master bedroom has an electric opening roof so you can sleep under the stars.
The vessel requires a crew of 70 people in order to run it at full capacity.
The Eclipse also has its own submarine which is capable of diving to 50 meters and allows for Mr Abramovich and is girlfriend Ms Zhukova to board with privacy.
In terms of security the Eclipse is said to be fitted with anti missile systems, there are at least five exits that can be used should the ship come under attack. The master bedroom is fitted with bulletproof glass and there is also a high end alarm system fitted.
The yacht was built in Germany by famous yacht builders Blohm + Voss, it originally estimated to cost $300 Million, but this quickly grew to $1 Billion.
Parking this size vessel came sometimes be a bit of a problem, like in August 2011, the Eclipse was refused from docking in the the southern french town of Antibes because the only dock large enough to moor this size vessel was occupied by another luxury yacht called Kingdom KR5 who is owned by Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Alsaud. This forced Mr Abramovich to get to shire via speedboat.

The latest M5 from BMW has taken a step in a different direction from previous models. Before the M5 had a high reviving low displacement V10 that was of course naturally aspirated, however due to increasingly stricter CO2 restrictions and the need for lower fuel consumption BMW decided that the latest 2012 model should no longer be that fuel hungry beast of a car, so they opted to find another way of power their 5 series M model.
In the end they settled on a 4.4l V8 engine and then they added the twin scroll turbo system that’s found in other BMW models such as the X6 M and the result is that this is this is the most powerful M model ever produced by BMW. The car pushes out 412kW and 680Nm, and propells the car from 0-100 in just 4.4 seconds and it will carry on accelerating until it reaches 305 km/h with the limiter disabled of course. If you decided to hold back the raging beast you could expect a fuel consumption of roughly 11 liters per 100km’s.
All this power is transferred from the engine to the drive shaft via a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox, that is said to be blistering fast and super smooth.

This watch doesn’t just look good but it said to be the fastest chronograph watch every built. The Tag Heuer Mikrotimer Flying 1000 is capable of measuring 1/1000ths of a second which means that the internal mechanisms are moving back and forth 3.6 million times an hour. The chronograph hand rotates 10 times per second.
The watch has two Chronograph hands. The first green hand measures the 1/100th and 1/1000th of a second on the external scale. The second hand indicates elapsed minutes and 1/12s of a minute (i.e. 5 seconds).
The Mikrotimer movement is made up of 354 components and has a 43 hour-power reserve for the watch and 150 seconds for the chronograph.
With just 10 units being made initially, this watch is for those who thrive for exclusivity.
Price: $88,580
