The stupid tax.

Bleeding lottery numbers! How much closer can you get?
I picked 2 - 3 came out.
I picked 7 - 9 came out.
I picked 12 - 13 came out.
I picked 33 - 35 came out.
I picked 42 - 43 came out.
I picked 45 - I got that one. 
The stupid tax.

At least you got one. I flunked out completely. My flatmate did win a tenner last week though, at a financially convenient moment (we were both very, very skint).

on your behalf. We could have had a lovely booze up on a lottery win.

It's the fact that each ball was, at most, two numbers higher than the corresponding number on my ticket.

50% for the booze up, 50% for the recovery and rehab.
The stupid tax.

I think 70-30 would be a fair split.

I've not lost a penny on the national lottery since about three monhts after it started; since then I've won at least 52 quid a year, probably more like 104 since it went to twice a week.... and a failsafe method; I don't ever buy a ticket

I've won about £75 on the bonus ball thingy-scheme. But I think I'd be better off if I put the money I spent each week aside instead

"Had my ticket upside down."
So you've won 9 million quid?

Did anyone else wacth that programme on ITV last night, after the lottery?
Someone "at home" got lottery tickets instead of the lump sum the chump in the studio took. (although, I would have took the cash).
One of them was 5 numbers and the bonus ball.
She won lots of other prizes as well. The total estimated that she won was £177,000.
A system of numbers had been chosen by a professor - he did explain the system he chose dashed if I can recall the details 
not that I ever have £20,000 to spend on lottery tickets you understand

I got a bit squeamish about buying lottery tickets after I heard that you were more likely to die in the period between buying the lottery ticket and the lottery being drawn than you were of winning the lottery.
I think it's safer not to buy the tickets!
Lots of people keep their numbers well separated but I find there are often connected number in the draw (like 7 and 8 or whatever).

Bear in mind that everyone's going to die, not everyone's going to win the lottery, and it stands to reason that some of us will go during that window. It'd be a nuisance if it turned out to be the winning ticket though!
The stupid tax.
Vestboy Posted Jul 31, 2005
Yes, but if you buy a ticket you stand MORE chance of dying than winning! The waiting to find out which would kill me!
