Well statistically you have a 1 in 144,000 chance of winning the jackpot so yes :joker:

sooty 27-02-2010 08:32 PM

You'd have to put on every possible combination for that :joker:

Might take you a week to fill all the slips in!

Mrluvaluva 28-02-2010 07:03 PM

I play twice a week. Have got 4 numbers twice and 3 numbers a few times. Nothing bigger than that yet but you can live in hope.

Loukas 28-02-2010 07:37 PM

I'm 16, i have payed the lottery but i'm a 16 year old, i have better things to do with my dosh :P.

However my mum has been playing the same line for 14 years.. So only time can tell..

I learnt something in school about the lottery, did you know 10,000 people a week play the line: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Beastie 28-02-2010 07:39 PM

Occassionally

Princess 28-02-2010 07:40 PM

I play when it's a huge amount.

Crimson Dynamo 01-03-2010 08:43 AM

It is a tax on the poor.

People have no concept of population size or odds and so think they can win. you will not win. save your money.

Enid 01-03-2010 09:11 AM

Yep, save your money. The odds of winning anything at all, even a tenner, are VERY slim.

"There are 20 combinations of 3 from 6, so the chance of a 3 match is 1 in 1133.119/20 or 1 in 56.7."
"6 numbers are drawn at random from the set of integers between 1 and 49, which means there are 49!/(6!*(49-6)!) combinations of numbers - this means that the jackpot chance is 1 in 13,983,816 or approximately 1 in 14 million."

So, you'd have to spend £57 to win £10 and £14mil to win usually half of that. Haha good luck!

Stu 01-03-2010 09:13 AM

The lottery is the most open and prevelant illustration of the fault of human thinking. This is the stuff Derren Brown has made a career of pointing out. You won't win. Save yer cash.

WOMBAI 01-03-2010 10:29 AM

Only ever once! What a waste of a pound!

Shaun 01-03-2010 11:19 AM

eh...I bought a scratchcard when I turned 16 and won a £1. such a pointless win LOL.

Stu 01-03-2010 11:33 AM

People found guilty of giving scratch cards as birthday presents to teens should suffer severe custodial sentences.

You want me to give you a kiss on the cheek and thank you for the meagre chance you have given me to possibly win a meagre amount of money?

Yeah, cheers dude. Could have just bought me Nuts.
