Default Lucky Dip or Chosen Numbers?
When you do the lottery do you choose your numbers or do a lucky dip? I do a lucky dip as I'd be horrified if I chose numbers every week for years and then forgot to do them on the one week that they all came up. Sounds a bit far-fetched but it'd probably lead me to suicide or using the rest of my life to try and invent something that resembles a time machine, in sheer desperation

I've entered for the first time tonight and I bought two tickets. Picked numbers on one and had a lucky dip on the other.

That's another problem! Once you start the numbers, you can't stop!

I once found a little sheet that someone had written their numbers on and decided to play them, thinking it was like something out of a movie where fate had given me the numbers. I then spent all evening being worried that I'd win the jackpot and the other winner would obviously be in the same town and then be very suspect of me and kill me for the rest of her money!

Lucky Dip, if you have a chosen set and dont do it 1 time and they come up youd go crazy.

Even worse,a neighbour of my Parents used a set of numbers all the time, one Saturday she couldn't get the lottery on just after 7pm because the terminal had gone down and she had 5 numbers and the bonus,but of course it wasn't on.
