But still, four numbers up on the national lottery equal sixty two pounds...

Yes, but did you come out ahead this time or have you been playing for the last 63 weeks?

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you what the ods are for predicting 4 out of 6 numbers from 47 ?
Oh - welcome back - great to hear you again - Season 20 has only just started in Fantasy Football - pop round to Grey Desk's place.

Oh, I know the odds are terrible - I win the odd tenner here and there, and I'm almost certainly still behind. But I quite like the combination of good causes and the admittedly miniscule chance of winning the thing.
But the thing is, when they first brought it out, I was enough of a mug to follow the advice and pick 'my numbers'.
So when I stopped doing it, whenever I saw the draw and 'my numbers' didn't come up I'd think "well, I've won another quid there".
Until I thought, what would happen if 'my numbers' did come up and I hadn't bought a ticket?
The consequences would be unbearable. So I've got a direct debit and I don't really notice nine quid vanish from my bank account every month...
