chilli Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Anyone tried buying Lotto tickets online? How about the scratchcards? It all seems a bit... I don't know - I would always feel like it would be difficult claiming without a piece of paper in my hand! Anyone won online? Oo has anyone won big on scratch cards or anything?

Homer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've been using it for years, saves having to go to the shops to get a ticket. A mate of mine won 15k on the online scratch cards last year, lucky B*stard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I signed up to use it for buying weekly lotto tickets & updated £10 into my account just for that. Within 5 minutes I had blown the lot on the scratchies & haven't used it since for fear of becoming hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Wow, lucky git. Is it hard to register? Might give it a go. Don't think so, just takes a few minutes. Once set up you can add/remove funds from your current account to the lottery account in a couple of seconds. It's probably not a good idea for those who like to gamble!!

toyotasuprauk Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Its really easy to gamble as it doesnt feel like real money more like a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Anyone catch the numbers tonight? It takes them forever to update on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 It's pretty good, I've been using it for a while - enters my numbers twice a week and lets me know when I've won (as far as I know!) - so far I've had about £20 back on about £40 worth of entries.

terribleturner Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Been thinking about this actually, anyone know of a site which has every single set of draws ever made?? I did search but couldn't find them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I have just found some old lottery tickets i forgot to check!!!!..and realised one of them had won £87, but i was 2 weeks out of date, imagine if I'd won a few million... Thats why I think the online lottery might be a good idea!! Also I hate going to the shop to get them checked just in case the Assistant (on £4 per hour) says 'oh you have won a tenner' when Infact its a couple of Million he he....Im sure someone has worked out a scam....I mean ya earning shit money and you suddenly find yourself holding a £Million ticket what would you do?????? The most I ever won on the Lottery was three years ago...I claimed the money in a small village post office near Porthcawl in Wales, whilst working down there! The old lady was checking the tickets, then there was the unfamilier winning bleep from the machine, her eyes lit up and said 'Wow you have won a very big prize' I immediatley started thinking about what to say to her next which was going to be 'Thanks Love, wheres the nearest Ferrari Garage?' but then I realised I was in Wales...(oh god Im in trouble now..sorry only jokin) There was a moment I thought she was going to keel over...(and I thought how would I prove the money/ticket was mine?) but she started to mutter the figures very slowly.......'Seven................................................ hundred......... She adjusted her bifocals..... pounds.... Ok that would buy me a genuine Ferrari dust valve cap for a rear tyre of an F430...bit disapointed but hey £700 smackers (some of it was a National Lottery Cheque and the rest in cash)..I used the money towards a holiday...and had a great time... Anyone else won anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well what you do is fill in your name on the back of the ticket - and that means that absolutely no one else can claim it under no circumstances. So when you hand it over, they have nothing to gain from saying it's not worth what it's worth. No, never won anything. Once I was watching it and i just picked some numbers and wrote them on a scrap of paper - got 4 numbers, lol. Get the odd £2 on a scratch card.

whitesupratt Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I always buy my Lotto tickets online...it doesnt make any easier to win though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you hand it over, they have nothing to gain from saying it's not worth what it's worth. . Good point but I buy quite a few...Im a Lotto Junkie..I always keep the same numbers though... I might try doing it online this week...it does sound easier..and that way ya cant miss it...if you do the same lines and you miss one..its terrible coz ya always think your numbers may of come up..and that would be suicidal:help: The other thing I do is to occasionally check the unclaimed section coz it tells you roughly what area unclaimed tickets were bought...I know i wont win the jackpot...but I love doing it and occasionally winning a small amount. If I did win it wouldn't change me......... much...(sorry of course it fcuking would) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
