The Lottery

[Josy]

Do you play the lottery?

[Niamh.]

Every now and again, usually when it's a big roll over

[Vicky.]

no. I have a few numbers on bonus ball sheets in pubs though. Its £2 per week and if your number comes out you get £100. Odds are like 50/1 so much better than lottery IMO :laugh:

It's a mugs game :idc:

[Josy]

I used to do that too Vicky but not anymore, no one around here or anyone I know runs them anymore.

I do the lottery though, just 1 lucky dip on a Wednesday and a Saturday I do 2 lucky dips and 2 hotpicks.

a couple of million is a bit better than 100 quid though :idc:

However I am more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than to win a couple of million so forgive me if i see the real lottery as a waste :idc:

(Watch me die by a cococnut falling on my head on my next holiday or something now :laugh: )

I play it and convince myself every week that I am going to win. I have picked the house I am going to buy and know what car I will buy etc etc....A little piece of me dies every time I realise I haven't won a penny!!:joker:

[Ramsay]

God no..what a waste of money
If you ever win the lottery you've probably sent more on the tickets over the years than the jackpot :laugh:

me too, the deciding what to spend it on is good while it lasts though!

[Marcus.]

no i do not

[Harry!]

Once a while, only when I have a pound coin I can spare. I have bought a ticket for tonight lol.

[Vicky.]

I remember when I bought my first ever lottery ticket when I was 16...I spent the whole day so sure I was going to win the jackpot. My heart nearly came through my chest when the draw came on. Then 3 of my numbers came up in a row, first 3 out...I swear I nearly died. Didnt get any more though, will never forget the crushing feeling when the 4th number wasnt mine, then the others. I should have been happy about getting a tenner for a quid, but I was depressed for weeks and weeks :laugh:

Sometimes

This thread has made me play it tonight.. Josy you're making people gamble!

[Mystic Mock]

Never as it's one in a billion chance you will win the jackpot, also I don't want to end up like my parents who can't stop gambling on this sort of stuff.
