National Lottery is 15 years Old . How much have you won ?

15 Nov 2009

I used to buy a ticket without fail for the first few years , but when the jackpots declined & we never won , we lost interest. But we did always do the `rollovers` lol

The most we won was Â£72 with 4 numbers & had 3 lots of Â£10. Cant remember what we spent the Â£72 on , probably alchol :cheers:
But now the Euromillions is here we do that instead , not won yet banghead

Oh i won Â£8 on a scratch card 3 months ago

You have to be in it to win it, so they say!
So never doing it at a Â£1 a week I have saved Â£780 lol

15 Nov 2009

One Â£10... but i don't put it in all the time.
In the early days i didn't put one saturday as the queue was out the door of the shop and lost Â£72!! lol

the odd here and there in the past , dont do it now a days :shock:
would rather put on a horse or scratch card .
to be honest have lost interest in the irish lottery is a better bet as you decide how much to put on and I beleive the max prize is with the lesser wins getting more money.

Â£40 in four years.
Should have saved it. Â£1 Saturday and Â£1 Wednesday i'd probably be about Â£1300 up.
That's a winter holiday in a posh hotel for a week or two in the sun, for two people.

Think the lottery is a bit tired now :shock:
It could do with a shake up initially it was exciting with " It could be you " thrown at you :shock:
In reality it wasnt you ????????
my ex wife won and hit it with 5 numbers so you are allmost there but isnt much to be so close is it ?

Dont think I ever won a thing sad

I gave up playing years ago after about a 5 week run of getting either two numbers or two numbers and the bonus ball mad

If you enter the lottery every week, with genuine expectations of winning it then you are going to be sadly disappointed. At odds of 14million to one, the odds are very slim indeed but still greater than if you don't actually enter.
I put a couple of lines on each week, less than the cost of a pint of beer and treat it as a bit of fun and maybe just maybe..........
Most I have ever won is Â£84 for 4 numbers.

15 Nov 2009

Â£20 in 15 years, not a very good return on my investment lol

15 Nov 2009

Â£3,050,475 in total.
How do you like me now?

we have had quite a few small wins biggest single win was , like you always did it every week but now sometimes forget or dont bother to walk up the shop, got a friend who won Â£73,000 for 5 numbers+ bonus ball.

i won Â£10,000 all in the space of 2 weeks then nothing since.
and that was on the thunderball not the actual main lottery draw.
bought a new bike with it and took a lady on holiday with me as she was sick.
i felt the money didnt matter just making her happy was what counted.

A few tenners and Â£5000 on a scratchcard! biggrin

, a week later my brother died and I used the money for his funeral. Fate.

I think the whole lottery system would be much better if Richard Branson had got to run it, instead of someone getting a back hander for the camelot shambles to keep hold of it rolleyes
