Chewie Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Just spent £99 on Euro lottery tickets. Our US owners are closing us down. So I emailed a notice around that we should do the Euro lotto. Expecting only 10 people max, I've ended with 66 including the big boss, senior managers as well as all the guys on the shop floor and even the sub-contract cleaner lady. One of the senior engineers has even written a XL spreadsheet to which identifies the winning lines and adds up all the prize money. BPU+ yes please! Knowing our luck it'll be £10 divided by 66.

Chewie Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 The news agent went mental when I dumped 99 quids worth of loose change on the counter. It weighed a ton. We spent about 20 mins counting it all out. He read the riot act out to me. Apparently there is a max limit to which you can hand over loose coins. He let me off cos he didn't know it himself! [GRIN][/GRIN]. It weird the other week after the Yanks announced the big shutdown everybody was in a big depression [sAD][/sAD]. This morning guys were already pinning their retirement on the lotto and acting like England had just beaten Australia at cricket!! Asif!!!

Chewie Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 You gotta be 'aving a larf! Sixty-six lines and all we got was two main numbers and one lucky star. Bread and water from now on. I'm going to ask for a recount. I bet some Froggie won the £17million jackpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Peace Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Someone won the £17m+ but not anyone from the UK as per usual. However £7.5m rollover on the main draw tonight and £66m for next Fridays Euro...but you have to live in Newcastle, Hull or France to win it..or somewhere where they want to put some money into the local economy (just my warped theory lol) http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/home/home.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millsy Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Lottery - a strange thing. I found when I've been happy with work and life in general I can happily forget all about it. But when I've had times of hating work and stuff I get addicted to it almost. Do other people go through that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 but you have to live in Newcastle, Hull or France to win it..or somewhere where they want to put some money into the local economy You talking about my deprived local economy again Si?

JamesG Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I bet you didn't put it on and kept the 99 quid for yourself. That would be a better gamble. Riskier, but better odds of making a profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 Running off with the £99 wasn't an option as I had to bring in the actual pink tickets on the Monday as proof of purchase. I wouldn't get far. With a gas guzzling Supe I'd only get 300 miles up the road whereas the two company Fraud Focus diesels would do 600,000 mpg. No contest. [sAD][/sAD]. I'll wait for the redundancy cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
