Default Do you play the lottery

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

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

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

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

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

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..)
