I just typed out the word LOTTERY in another form which has inspired me to write this thread!


I Done the lottery for 10 years only won a tenner here and there! :(

Has anyone ever won any money on the lottery or on betting in general?
This will be interesting!
 
Only bought a scratchcard a handful of times, but won more than I lost! I usually think they are a waste of money, but I don't mind having the odd £1 flutter every few months ;) (that makes me sound very frugal! :D)
 
I've never been a gambler, ever, just doesn't appeal to me.

However, I do sometimes buy a couple of Lucky Dip Lotto tickets if I'm feeling flush.

Have two tickets for this Wednesday actually but I've never, ever, won a thing.

Long time ago, won £240.00 on the Football Pools, that's about it :(
 
I gave 'em 50p once ... they looked at me funny so I thought bugger you then.

:p

Gave who 50p, the football pool or the lottery?

My dad won about £100 in the lottery...
 
Don't believe in Lottery, and agree with most here it is a waste of money. For some the law of averages works out but for some it does not. :D
 
You have a 1 in 1,906,884 chance of winning the lottery.

Here are some other odds for the sake of comparison:
  • You have about a 1 in 2,000,000 chance of being struck by lightning.
  • A pregnant woman has a 1 in 705,000 chance of giving birth to quadruplets.
  • Someone eating an oyster has a 1 in 12,000 chance of finding a pearl inside of it.
Good luck! And sorry to say that the only way to increase your chances of winning is to buy more tickets! Choosing birthdays, your age, addresses, years, phone numbers, etc. does not help at all!

:D

Well if someone does post saying he/she has won, that would also be one in several million so that should not really encourage you to go out and buy a lottery ticket. :D

We have over 7000 members and so far it looks like nobody here has won anything substantial :(
 
well i won something once not money though

i won the official programme of the 1999 Champions League Final! One of my teachers at school is a good mate of the former Director General of the BBC, Sir Greg Dyke. who was a former Director of Man Utd.

There was a compettion where I had to write an essay about Football and the prize was this wonderful programme! Its one of my treasured possesions.
 
yer about money I once found a wallet with a score in it!

that was when i was v young but it was enough to make me happy!
 
i would try and return a whole wallet, as it would be known missing.

i am WELL unlucky when it comes to winning things, nomatter how many comps i enter, i never win anything. ever.
 
PSD, i too would return a found wallet,

But, i did find a tenner in the middle of the sea!

this was when i was a kid and a bit immature! i remember i found it in a shopping centre and it was only 20quid!

where i work ppl carry around 100's or 1000's of pounds! i once found a walllet with like 500 quid in it, i retained it untill the guy came back and asked me for it!

not very nice losing that much money!

sorry to hear this but i think u could be lucky one day!
dont give up yet Chris!!!


maybe just maybe!
 
The other day it occured to me that I had never put money on the lottery... so, feeling audacious, I put £5 on, and won £10! Not bad :) I think I'll quit while I'm ahead so I can make the claim that my winnings exceed my costs :D
 
How much do you get payed? (don't answer this) if people carry around that much, you must be rich!
