Homer Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I've usually get a tenner every month or so, but won £110 on the dream number last month. Thats my only "big" win since the lottery started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 about 10 years ago I won £120, lost my ticket and pulled the house apart looking for it, but found it in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 A guy in my local had 5 and the bonus ball. He won about £140k. Paid his and his mums mortgage off and that was it all gone! A woman who lives in my mate's road won £10M. She gave her two chav sons 1m each. One of them spent the lot in 6 months and was back begging her for more. Mind you, he had a nice car and stunning looking girlfriend. Strange really because his GFs before he had a million were all munters. Odd that.

Supra_dan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 A bloke in redruth about 40 mins from where I live won £450k twice Here is the article. Derek Ladner £958,284 A bowling fanatic from Redruth has literally doubled his money after winning two £479,142 shares of the jackpot - £958,284 in total - in the Lotto draw on Wednesday 11th July. This makes him the first ever single publicity jackpot winner to have won twice in the same Lotto draw. This fantastic double helping of lottery luck happened as a result of a fortuitous mistake, after delivery driver, Derek Ladner, forgot that he already had bought his ticket that week and bought another one using his regular numbers. By another quirk of fate both tickets were bought at Tesco stores, one in Redruth the other in Penzance. Derek commented: "It has really not sunk in yet. To win the jackpot once is amazing but to win it twice is unbelievable. Especially as I picked up my first prize and had forgotten about the other ticket. It was only a day or two after I remembered I had it." Derek and his wife, Dawn, who are both avid bowlers and play for Bickford Smiths Bowling Club in Tuckingmill, cannot believe the timing of their windfall as Derek is due to retire on Friday. The couple are now making plans for the future - as well as modernising their house in Redruth, they are planning a luxury holiday to Tenerife. They will also be spending some time enjoying their hobbies of bowling and supporting Redruth Rugby Club. Derek said: "The two wins could not have come at a better time! We had already made a lot of plans for our retirement together. This win means we can now really enjoy ourselves a lot more and treat our friends and family."

AndrewOW Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 A syndicate I ran at a previous company I worked at won around £1,500, but that was when the lottery first started. Once I'd shared the win amongst the 12 involved, there was not a lot left to put towards the yacht, mortgage etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 A guy in my local had 5 and the bonus ball. He won about £140k. Paid his and his mums mortgage off and that was it all gone!. Ive always thought whats the point. your morgage aint the a hardship just something everyone pays. he might have well solded up and used the 140K as a deposist of a new amazing house. One of them spent the lot in 6 months and was back begging her for more.[/QOUTE] Idiot! really pisses me off that, £1million is enough to sort you out for life. set up your own business of get onto that high ends of the housing market debt free. buy a really nice car and still have money left..

I think you need around £3million nowadays to live the life of a millionaire so I've heard. So £1million is small change really, especially if you're inherently an idiot as you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I don't win on the lottery but win around £300 a month on the premium bonds You lucky git! We have a yet another 11 member syndicate going at work here for Premium Bonds, and in the 19 months we've invested (£10 each per month), we've won absolutely bugger all! At least our investment is still there, unlike wasting money on the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Never entered it myself. A friend's parents have won the big one - £6mil or so, I think. Bought her a house and car, but that's it for now. Her parents have, of course, retired, but she still works at the office with my missus.

(3x people investing the 30k maximum) I don't suppose your work syndicate has anywhere near that much in it, d they? My in-laws both have the max amount of PBs but they don't do as well as Col does.

I should add this is my first 3 months of investment so there is plenty of time for it to not pay out. but at the moment it is giving a 10% return which is very good. Fingers crossed it remains as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I've never won a bean cos I don't play it except for the odd scratch card. A fella I from a different depot in my company who used to show his face in our office every now and again won £100k about six months ago though. Think he's still working as well even though he's 60-odd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually no we don't anywhere near that amount, more like £2,000! We haven't even won a £50 bonus in that time, and supposedly its comparable to Building Society interest. Pah! My fellow syndicate members think I bought the Supra with the money, and haven't owned up to any wins! Gits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 My best mate got 5 numbers and the bonus ball - he was in a 3 way syndicate with his Mom and Dad so didn't get it all. Not quite £140k for him though! Loads of winners that week so it was £55k - split 3 ways. So he had about £18k at 21 years old! As you can imagine it didn't last long. Paid off his exsiting debts then went out and bought an Impreza (not so chavy at the time - about 7 years ago), a Raptor quad, KX250, huge TV, DVD, stereo etc etc Blew the lot! I should put a roll eyes smiley after that but as his best mate it felt like I'd won too! I did tell him to save some but couldn't help but want him to buy the Raptor!! I was sooo excited!
