We all, live in some sort of hope

Will not hope for a win on the lotto ;-)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't do the lottery or Euro millions so it doesn't bother me that the price has gone up :-S

Jules x

Won £25.00 this week on the lottery

In the last 6 weeks have won around 50+

Just wish OH's lottery syndicate would win the big euromillions!!!!

The lucky raffle number for my lottery ticket last night was 1,001 of the 1,000 numbers chosen to win :-D

Have cut down by one line. But, was going to switch to the health lottery. Cant find anywhere selling tickets tho

Hmm...I notice that they're guaranteeing a 10 million pounds jackpot this week plus 1,000 winners of £20,000 each. Goes without saying that I'd love the 10 mil but even the £20,000 would come in very useful right now :-D

Thank you OFITG :-)

I was trying to work out what could get deleted on a thread as innocuous as one about the lottery.

Thinking about it, if I have time I might just buy a ticket for tonight (I play online, saves losing the ticket ;-) )

Amokavid - want to tell us where you bu your tickets :-D

Joan

Send some of that luck this way>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> :-D

As they say if you don't try you don't win, had quite a few £10 wins plus £98 once on EuroMillions, and in 1979 won £3,300 on Rangers Pools plus £1,975 on Littlewwods in 1987, anyone else been lucky :-)

Hi AnnC, just a thought, could it be that the one who spent £290.
was buying for a syndicate, if not, there must be a lot of rich
people in Welshland. !!!!!!!! :-D

We make a point of not doing the same numbers every week so have a lucky dip, that is to guard against missing out if the numbers come up when we don't do it.

We do the lottery too as a bit of fun cos not able to get out now socially so not spending money on nights out ,

We do like a glass or two or wine at the weekend but that's the extent of of our luxuries

As I gave up alcohol over 10 years ago, also that I have substantially reduced my cigarettes, and that due to mobility problems can no longer get to my weekly night out at the bingo, and that where I will be going I cannot take my money with me :-D my £6 a week on the lottery is my little bit of fun, but that's all it is, a bit of fun, if I win I win if, I don't I don't, I won't lose any sleep over it, all the increase means to me is I will buy one ticket less each week :-)

I just have a lucky dip for Wed and Sat - this morning in the queue - a very long queue - in Sainsbury's we were all held up by a woman buyng lottery tickets - her total bill just for the lottery was £290!!!!!

O.F.I.T.G. I do exactly the same .All Lucky Dips.(Don,t think they have any numbers that I have) but from now instead of the new £2 ticket I will get the Hospital one at £1. I think they are trying to rip people off even more.:o((>

no it wll not make any difference to me I have one line on Wednesday and one on saterday plus one on the health lottery

I would love to know what you said in your last two posts OFITG :-S

I very rarely play the lottery and if I do it's usually the Euromillions so I doubt it'll have much of an impact on me. The only real difference is that I'll probably choose the Euro one over our own more often.

It won't change the number of tickets/lines we buy as we only occassionally have a 'punt' perhaps 4 lines a month between the two of us, 2 of those on the Euro Lottery.

Long term frequent players who have used the same lines week after week must be in a quandary. If they halve the number of lines purchased, in the back of their minds will be that the dropped ones will come up for a major prize.

It’s a mugs game really, and should only be played if you can afford the cost. One of the offspring runs a syndicate at work – 14 participants paying for entry into the Wednesday and Saturday draw. They’ve never recouped the cost over the 4 week period in the two years it’s been running.

Retailers have said that if the number of line is halved, they will still get the same amount in commission. The Inland Revenue will also still receive their 12%. That’s from your taxed income, don’t forget!

i wont be putting the national lottery on no more,

will kep the thunderball on tho, but rarely win lololol
