Lottery/Lotto or whatever you wanna call it!

How many of you play it?

Have you ever won anything on it?

Do you believe, your chance will come?

Do you play the same numbers, or how do you choose them?

big grin

Answers please!

That's exactly it. nod

I feel like such a dope playing it but i know my numbers too well now.
Since luck poops on my doorstep every other day of the week, i'm sure the moment i didn't play, my numbers would come up.

Ah the Lotto - a tax for people who are bad at math!

The very first time I did it I won £25, and have had about 5 small wins so far, biggest was €500.

I play one line of same numbers all the time, and another line of quickpick.

I believe I have a better chance of selling more records than Prince has than I do of winning the Lotto jackpot. The jackpot here is a measly €1.3 million.

No illusions, but I still do it anyway because I want to win.

It could be you, but it won't be! lol

was it a 10 quid for three numbers confuse. It is ages since I played.


That F'king Euro thing now OMG, I swear!! Camelot have nearly a third of all the cash for charity sat in a bank account "waiting" for distribution. They just prey on poor disillusioned people (Like RED lol ) who think they can win. You might as well give the money direct to charity and cut out the middle middle man.

I only do the Lottery and Lottery Extra, one line each, on a Weds and Sat. Thats it.

But fuck, I have been playing the same numbers since it started, err now I am petrified that if I dont play, my numbers will come up.

I am a slave to the lottery sad

I was in the car the other week with my Mum and she was telling me how she has stopped doing the lottery now, cos she doesnt agree that the funds go towards asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, anyway, lets not get political lol

She says she only plays if it is a Rollover!

I couldnt stop laughing, telling her that she is such a snob. That a 2 million win, to her isnt big enough, but she will only play for at least 10 million! falloff

Her chances are prolly much much slimmer that way cos more people play on the Rollover games!

What a coincidence. My boyfriend JUST called me to find out if I wanted in on the lotto pool at his job. I told him to put me down for $10.

If the Powerball jackpot gets up above $200 million or so, I might buy a single ticket.

Have you ever won anything on it?

The most was $40, I think.

Do you believe, your chance will come?

No. I don't expect to win. It's simply for fun... and at least in my state, much of the lottery revenue goes toward things like education and reducing the auto excise tax.

Do you play the same numbers, or how do you choose them?

I let the system select random numbers for me.
