Lottery
 

Well, just been online to put my lottery on cos it's a rollover tomorrow. Tells me the lottery is closed till tomorrow, did I want to play an instant game. In for a penny, in for a pound, takes my chance and loses £1. Oh well, I'll have one more go, games is lucky sevens. You get two numbers and scratch, if they match you win or if you get a 7 you win

1st scratch matched number 15 win £1 :eek:
2nd scratch got a 7 win £7 :eek:
3rd scratch got a 7 win £7 :eek:
4th scratch got a 7 win £7 :eek:
5th scratch matched number 15 win £2 :eek:

Yay yay yay won £24, some :beer: :drunk: money for tomorrow.......

So whats the most you ever won on the lottery ?????

Re: Lottery
 

Nothing. I don't buy lottery tickets.

Re: Lottery
 

£90 once (4 numbers), had 4 numbers a few times after but got less.

don't like to think about it really!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Lottery
 

Same here. You could use my numbers to decide what not to pick. I usually don't get any of my numbers come up :(
(not that I play much at all....mugs game)

Re: Lottery
 

£131 for 4 numbers, and £67 on Littlewoods pools a few years back as well. :)

Re: Lottery
 

Got 4 numbers twice approx £90 each, several £10 wins. £66 on a scratchcard and £250 also on a scratchcard. I haven't bought one of those for years, must be due another one.

PS. Shared all winnings 3 ways with wife and daughter.:angel:

Re: Lottery
 

Put on each week £20 (not all mine - I'm just the mug who goes down the shop).

so, every other week (or nearly), I should win £10 (1 in 52 chance). But I have won 6 times last year. who good odds!!

Re: Lottery
 

I'd not won in yonks with the going to the shop routine, now play online and my lucks changed completely :tu:

Re: Lottery
 

£350 but than Rachel took it and spent it all in the sales :(

Re: Lottery
 

£3000 but had to split it 6 ways :(

not a sausage since :(

Re: Lottery
 

same here rammy, play it once in a blue moon and never win anything......nevermind, would rather give my couple of quid to charity anyway :D

Re: Lottery
 

got £450 on the hot picks game with the kids birthdays 2 weeks ago, and it was only the 2nd time we had a go on it! 1st, 21st and 24th

Re: Lottery
 

We once had a function at work, and for a laugh we purchased a scatch card for every staff member. I believe we bought about 150 scratch cards and the total 'winnings' was about 40% of what we paid for the cards.

Now I know this is how it works, and as you buy larger quantities, the percentage of winnings is more likely to approximate the payout percentage, but it still was a bit of an eye opener. I stopped buying scratch cards after that...

Re: Lottery
 

It's bad enough not winning the lottery... but " not a sausage since " that is bad news. :eek:

Re: Lottery
 

gutter award time methinks :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


i very rarely bother the most i have won was £40 , the most the works syndicate has won is £130 , there is eleven of us in it and we have 22 lines a week , was of time but you know what will happen if i drop out , i think i will keep on putting my £2 in a week :D :D :D

Re: Lottery
 

Exactly what happened to my wife when she left her works lottery ..... 3 weeks later they won £78000 between 7 people. :cry:

Re: Lottery
 

Use to run a big syndicate (90 people - was a pontoon group, that spent some money on the lottery).

We built up a substantial balance, so brought £600 odd worth of scratch cards (you should have seen the ldies face at the counter, and the moaning about to much money from the old lady behind me).

The most anyone won was 2 x £40.

Re: Lottery
 

awwwwww thats awful , thats just confirmed i will stay in mine :)

Re: Lottery
 

My dad won £90,000 on the pools back in 1988. I was so popular in school for a while.....

The lottery? Nah, it sucks.

Re: Lottery
 

we have a syndicate of 32 of us at work and we all pay £1 a week for saturday draws , we only have a go on wednesday if its a roll-over......
52 saturday draws plus about 8 rollovers = roughly 60 quid a year each....
32 x 60 = 1920 quid total
we pay out at christmas and the biggest amount ive ever had back is £15.... .
i would hate to pull out in case the rest of the lads won........
diabolical.....

Re: Lottery
 

Well, I don't do the lottery anymore, but when I did it at home (played with my mum and sister), every few months, we won £10 on my line.

Last year, we had a syndicate at work, which I was also in. We kept winning £10 on my line as well (different numbers). Never won a bean on my own though.

My boss (not part of the work syndicate) won £2500 last year though. I think it went towards his new HiFi..
