Title: Lottery wins?
Post by: JDM82 on 02 July 2011, 09:44
OK last nights euromillions was lets say...... Disappointing  :cry:  I won £4.75  :laugh: but I put on £30 so...................

Anyway I thought it would be a interesting thread, so who's ever won and how much is the most you've ever won?

I'll start:-

The most Ive ever won is £100 on a scratchy  :shocked:

A lad local to me won £2.4 million about 11 years ago or so. He had the big house, fleet of flash cars etc etc........

He blew the lot and now he lives in a council house and drives a old nissan primara........... The best thing is though it has his private plate on it which always makes me laugh when I see him drive buy  :grin:



Disclaimer:

There is nothing wrong with living in a council house. I only ment it as how he went from a massive posh house to a council house  :smiley:

About £110 with four numbers. I've had four numbers a few times, with various prize money of £70 odd, lowest was £38, but that's as close as I've been, which to be fair, is still pretty far away. :grin: I haven't won anything for a while.

I won £10 on last nights draw  :sad:

Why sad you say?

Sad because no one puts the lottery on to win a tenner do they?

It pisses me off to that you can "win" a pound on a scratchy, wow I bought a scratchy with a pound and I've won a pound  :rolleyes:

A mate was round my house once, he asked me to check the lottery to see if he'd won anything.
I said to him if he wins he can give me a tenner, I checked the numbers and he'd won a tenner!
He just handed the ticket over to me  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Not won anything big, I had a few 'good' weeks where I'd win £10-£30 with just £1, f@cked it up by being greedy on the 5th week and put £2 on and killed my 'winning' streak :cry:

I suppose if you expect to win anything, you need to be keeping the same numbers and doing it on a regular basis.

I think that my problem is I do it irregularly, and that probably has something to do with the reason I have never even won a tenner!

Once won £2 on a scratchcard, but think they are a waste of money anyway.

Post by: Mr_F on 10 July 2011, 18:34
Statistically, your better off putting say your whole years worth of lottery ticket fund in one hit, away from Christmas draws, that way you have more numbers to hit cover just one possibility rather than say one possible number for one outcome and are less likely to have to share, because no one really likes to share.

But in the Words of Han Solo, "Never tell me the odds".

Keeping the same numbers doesnt really increase your odds if anything I'd say it reduces ur chance of winning.

I always do lucky dips can't be bothered to pick numbers, best I've had is 4 numbers.
