	Oh that's frustrating and annoying Scozz,, I am sorry you didn't get a bean back. I had a lucky run last year, got around £250+ over several weeks, if I can do that again I will be happy but if I get a few more noughts on the end I would be ecstatic and could help some of my pals. Good luck folks, Lizxx

	It was in the local paper this week that a distant member of the family has won half a million on a lucky dip lottery ticket. I have met them, though not through family things and I am very, very pleased for them. It is evident they are family because they have no plans for big spends and are going to invest it for their old age. You would not believe how quiet I would be about it should I have a big windfall like that.

	As him in One foot in the grave says 'I don't believe it! Just checked my numbers and got another £25! Just as well as all my big bills are coming at once so every penny of my winnings is already accounted for but will ease the pressure on my bank account. Maybe this lucky streak will hold a bit longer and rub off to you all as well. Lizxx

	Well, here I am again, counting my blessings. On Wednesday's lottery draw I won another £124!!! Recently I have had several wins of £2.80 or £2.90 but this was a nice amount. I think I am nearly up to the total I got last year but any more is always welcome, would love to be able to help my lad and his fiancee and others who could do with a hand. Lizx

	Can you believe I was lucky enough to win another £25 on the lottery last evening? That's £199+ this year so far. Someone is looking out for me, maybe Dutch has been sending good vibes. Lizxx

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 1,832 Send Message	Liz well done. Can you share your chosen numbers with us please. Actually I have won £15 on thunderball last night and this is only the second time I have done it. :-D
Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 32,477 Send Message	Purple *^Sparkly^* Diamond	Report	5 Apr 2015 23:02
	Well done, Robert and Sylvia, every little helps. I've had several of the small amounts from Euromillions. The thing is, my numbers are all very similar and one row is my late Mum's which I have been doing for nearly 20 yrs. She died a few weeks after she first asked me to get her a ticket with her chosen numbers, out of her pension that I collected for her. Coincidentally she had chosen several numbers the same as mine, as in house numbers and ages at the time, but I've never dared stop doing them in case they come up in total! Lizxx

	£3.40 tonight on euromillions! Must make sure I get tickets for tomorrow and weekend while this lucky streak is happening! Lizx
