So is there anyone fortunte enough to have been told <B>"IT'S YOU"</B>

I've done the lottery since day one and had :

3 numbers = approx 20 times
4 numbers = 2 times (£94 & £73)
5 numbers = 1 time (£1,423) nearly **** myself checking numbers

I'm just waiting for the big one and I'll throw a big Scooby party.

O.M.

Several tenners and one four number with a 100 odd quid payout. Maybe soon the big one.

A friend of mine used to say that the Lottery was like a Tax on the Stupid

I won a fair amount. Not boasting or anything but it enabled me to pay off my mortgage (with hardly any cash left over ) but I wanted shot of the debt & the peace of mind that comes from knowing that whatever happens - my children will always have a roof over their heads which cant be taken away.

Kudos to RoShamBo.

Octane Man,

Can you let me know what numbers you do each week. I've done the lottery virtually every Saturday since it started and won a tenner once. The very first lottery draw I did 5 lines with all different numbers (30 out of 49) and none of them came out!

As for a tax one the stupid, the best description for the lottery I heard so far - a fool and his money are soon parted...

Jerome,
I mostly used to get Lucky dips and since I've reverted to picking the same numbers for the last 8 months I've only won a tenner.

Something to be said for lucky dips eh ??

It'd be good to have a Scooby Syndicate but a nightmare to organise.

Mutant Matt,
Well I'm used to paying tax for the stupid as I'm a UK resident with a crap goverment and a thirsty car that likes SUL.

When I got 5 numbers I must have had a silly streak as I gave £1200 to my parents to renew their cental heating system. I had enough left over for a good weekend out with beer & curry.

O.M.

I know a chap (friend of a friend) that won £9.5 million.

He now has a whopping farm house next to my pal, but also says he is lonely and bored. Seems to spend his life yachting - hmmm, very boring

I've not won a penny on the blasted thing! Although someone gave me a tip on how to win, but the draw-back was that I had to buy a ticket first.

I'll get my coat.

I love the Moron Tax - i'm an estate agent!
And the first thing they do when they've got back from the carribean is buy a big, new house!

So far, we've had three BIG winners buy thru us and earned well each time.

So, ferrari dealers, estate agents and travel agents are the regular winners then!
