Mrs H Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We used to play when it was first set up! Now we play lottery roulette, we never buy a ticket and count up how much money we've saved when the numbers that we used to have don't come up:d Based on that we are quids in:p Vicki x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 we all dream about winning the lottory, how do you think you would all handle it, what would you do with the money and would you still work? I would prob's go crazy when i realised i had the numbers i would be like a kid at christmas, not able to sleep lol, however i would keep it on the downlow only telling close family, i personelly would and wouldnt go to wild with the money i would handel it sensibly however i would get a nice home wouldnt know what other car to buy probs a Aston or a lambo because if you win the lotto you have to have a dream car, either that or completely fine tune and rebuild your supra then i would take a long break abroad, share it out to family then invest the rest then live off the interest, i wouldnt know if to still work.. i mean i feel i would be bored without work, possibly work for a charity or with animals.

Jake Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 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 Ah. Well you're already way above the average payout % for a year then. NS&I reckon you'll average about 15 wins per year with a 30k investment. If you've had more than 1.5 wins from your 3k stake you're well ahead of the game. Apparently there are 400million new PBs sold every month so the chance of winning must be getting worse all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I started with a set of six numbers at the very beginning. Each week I sat and watched the show with my sisters and old dear (not through choice but they were addicted to the hype). Each and every week I didn't get a single number. After week seven there was only 6 numbers left that had never come up, guess which exact numbers they were?? YUP mine. Similar happened with my horse gambling. I bet for the first time ever on a grand national. You can probably guess which one it was YUP the only one that ever got canceled. For this reason I never gamble period. I buy raffle tickets but I actually see this completely as donating to charity as I have yet to ever win anything and I buy practically any sob story raffle ticket going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 My ex wife nearly won the jackpot with the work syndicate with only 5 of them in it. But the person buying the ticket split the regular numbers across two lines to make it more of a chance..... and guess what? Yup, the regular numbers came up!! They nearly killed her.

RedM Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I once won just over 1400 quid. Which was made even nicer by having the same numbers in the works syndicate. Mind you, I kept silent about having won on my own. I dined well that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMiFFAD Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 My dad won £1500. He worked out thats about the same as hed spent on it since it started though, so may as well not bothered My Aunt won £75K on an old ticket she was about to bin though, checked it on the off chance! Prooved nice things can happen to people as shed just got over cancer as well Then at the other end of the spectrum, my sister had the misfortune to have the "king of the chavs" (cant remember his name - tit who won the lottery) move in next door to her for a few months, completely trash the place and move out again, leaving drug stashes buried all over the place I however, have never won even a tenner, and dont bother playing it anymore. Even if i did win id forget to check the numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 My cousin won £3.2m as part of a four man syndicate, i.e. they EACH got £3.2m. There were 4 jackpot tickets that week and as they had a big spread system, they scooped 2 full 6 numbers, several 5 and 4 numbers across the whole spread. He didn't really go mad at all, had a few holidays, bought one of Schumy's helmets, followed the GPs for a year, bought a house out of town then sold it for £400,000 profit and moved back into town to be with his mates. He gave each family member £5k each, which was very welcome. No kids, no flash cars, he's got more now, through interest, than when he started.

Thorin Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 My dad won just over a grand split between him and his mate once, he's won ~£700 on the irish lottery too. Think my mum has won a couple of hundred in a work syndicate or something. I've won a few tenners but that's it. I still remember when the lottery hadn't been running that long and a mate of mine's girlfriend was buying her first ticket and couldn't think what numbers to pick. I told her to pick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.... She didn't, but she'd have won a tenner if she did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
