Do you play the lottery

[Cherry Christmas]

or do you think its an extra tax!

Personally I think its worth a punt even though the odds are so hugh, but then on the other hand someone always wins :shrug:

[Liam-]

Every Tuesday and Friday!

[ChristmasNeeve]

The odd time, I think Gav has a ticket for the Euromillions this week actually :fc:

[Liam-]

126mil tonight, I’ve already spent it in my head

[Cherry Christmas]

I should have made the poll visible ...doh, is that possible Niamh

[Withano]

I don’t.. but not for that reason

[Cherry Christmas]

126mil tonight, I’ve already spent it in my head

same :laugh: and I am CONVINCED I will win

[thesheriff443]

When I can remember.

No, because if people vote under the impression that votes are private you can't really change that afterwards

[arista]

Yes

[The Slim Reaper]

I don't play it but if I'm in a petrol station on the right day, and I see a crazy rollover amount, then I always pick up a couple of lines. It's actually bizarre when you think of it; Oh yeah, £20m won't change my life, but if it's £50m then I'll go for it!

If I won half a million I'd stretch that out to change my life :laugh:

[michael21]

It call lotto now adays :smug:

[The Slim Reaper]

I've heard M21 actually provides the prize money.

[michael21]

This is true :cheer2:

[JerseyWins]

Just a random stab at it every once in a while (rare) :laugh:

[In the Drunk Tank]

I don't play the lotto but I do buy the odd scratchcard, prefer those as you actually have a reasonable chance of winning something

[ChristmasNeeve]

yeah about €2, has anyone ever actually won a decent amount on a scratchcard? I won €50 one time and it was like I'd won a few grand it was so unusual to win anything even halfway decent :laugh:

[bots]

i've heard the lottery described as gambling for the poor, but I don't see it like that at all. I watch out for large jackpots and buy 1 ticket for them. I'm not going to win 100+ million anywhere else, so why not.

£40 is my biggest lol, you do normally just get your money back but then pretty much all lottery 'wins' are just free lucky dips or a few quid

I do know of an old guy locally who won 100k on a £1 scratchcard. (apparently..)

haha Urban Legend? :laugh:

and if people win €1 or €2 they usually just get 1 or two more cards

[Tom4784]

Only if I'm feeling lucky. It's not something I do regularly.

[Parmy]

Just euro millions .which we better not lose post brexit.

20m wouldn't change your life? Do you have caviar for breakfast?

[ChristmasNeeve]

I think he was being sarcastic there :laugh:

[smudgie]

Yes, every Wednesday and Saturday.
Worth it for the dreams.

[Cal.]

No but I pray you do for that lovely flat you’re going to buy me

[Josy]

National Lottery and the irish lottery plus some extra games for the irish lottery every Saturday

[Tinsel Toes]

No cos i'm a born bloody loser !

[Kazanne]

I do if I remember ,but I usually forget to buy a ticket, so more often than not,I dont.

[Candy Annie Cane]

I only buy a ticket if its a massive jackpot.

My dad has had the same 4 lines since the day it started, he is too scared to ever miss in case they cone up. He reckons that if he added up what he has spent on the lottery since it started in the 90s, he'd be a lit wealthier than he is now :laugh: he won £500 on Hot Picks once...but other than a few rtenners that's been the sum total of 4 lines twice a week for pushing 25 years :laugh:

[Braden]

Have never bought a scratch card or played the lottery in my life. Just never had the urge to, tbh.

[Daniel-X]

I think I’ve bought a lottery ticket once and a scratchcard once, only when I’ve seen a **** load of magpies! (mind you I won nowt!)

My mum did have a dream she won the lottery a few months ago tho, put a Lucky Dip on and got £30!

[Rustic bauble]

or do you think its an extra tax!

Only when it’s a big prize like tonight..:laugh:

[Cherry Christmas]

I don’t play every week but tonight yes ....

[Marsh.]

I won the lottery the day I first met Cal. :love:

:oh: get your filthy bookies hands off my boy

Heres a weird story....

My sister got a new house not long after the lottery had first started, whilst cleaning the house before moving in she found this tiny strip of paper in the bath with numbers printed on it and decided to use them as her lottery numbers, she won that week quite a big win and then again the 2 following weeks but not as much, probably just a weird coincidence but she still puts those same numbers on every week, she's won the lottery lots since then.
