Tonight's Euromillions jackpot is £121,000,000. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE MILLION POUNDS! That is a seriously obscene amount of money.

Yes, of course I've had a go!

I know, I know. The lottery is just a stupid tax. I don't care. It's worth £2 for the fun I'll have dreaming of what to do with all that money, between now and the time I find out I've won £1.30 or whatever.

My mum could retire. After the year she's had, having to go back to the daily grind is quite wearing and if I could take that away, well, how fab would that be?

The rest of my family would never have to worry about money ever again (some of them do struggle).

I could spend more time with the dog. That matters a lot to me.

I'd quite like to do the At Home With The Braithewaite's thing where Amanda Redman's character won £30 million and set up a charity trust. It would be to give money to small worthy causes like a life-saving operation abroad or helping a donkey sanctuary rather than giving to the big, already well-funded charities. One of my ex-colleagues helps run a charity called Camp Quality which runs holiday camps for sick children. Her own son had a brain tumour as a child and when he was ill he went on one of the camps, so now they both volunteer. The camps allow the kids to be kids first rather than sick and the parents get a break.

Best of all, of course - I could slowly forget there are TWO 5.30's every day!

But really, it IS an obscene amount of money. I hope someone else wins, too

Sadly, 120 odd million wouldn't even put us close to rich in Russia. Would be nice though.

Sadly, I never win anything. 1.30? That's impressive and I am jealous.

deb? deb? You still here? Oh my.

I haven't checked yet - I'm prolonging the fun. I don't expect to win, so the actual checking of the numbers is really irrelevant. I pay my money for the fun of the dream. Anyway, I did it on-line so they'll send me an email eventually.

Winning would be a nice bonus though

Deb

WHy don't you just send me some numbers in an e-mail. After three days I will send you a reply telling you if you have won and I won't charge you a penny.

Ha! I won £8.30. It's more than I spent so I'm happy

Deb

Yay!
