One winner UK Lottery.

15 16 23 39 48 59

Euro Lottery one UK winner. £24.7 million

3 20 28 31 49 2* 5*

We got the 23 on both of our lines - not even a coconut :-( :-D

I got a free lucky dip from it. :-D

Have used the same numbers since day one .
My tickets ran out on Wedneday and I forgot to renew my online acct this week.

4 numbers came up last night. :-| :-| :-|
15, 16, 23 & 48

Even more annoying is that my online acct is in credit, there was enough in it to renew all the lines for another 4weeks.. Grrr

I now subscribe by direct debit - it was after a longish stay in hospital when the last thing I thought about was lottery tickets! used to buy them four weeks at a time, same numbers and I couldn't bring myself later to check even if I had remembered where my slips were! but now I do, just very occasionally get an email saying I've won something, I rush to the site in case it's life changing, but £3 credit from the Euro lottery is still welcome!

I took some tickets to be checked last week as I thought I gad £6.30 to come and had eithet00 forgottenor missed that there was £25 to come too, so that was n7ce, total of £31.30 plus a free go (not lucky with that) 00ipp
I have had a total of around £600 over the padt two years.

Also got a cheque from Take a Break competitions for £50.

Every little helps

GlasgowLass you can take comfort in the fact that, according to Chaos Theory, if you had remembered to buy that ticket, then a different set of numbers would (priobably) have been drawn.

If a regular player is willing, it would be really interesting to know....
.....Did you cover the outlay in the last 12 months?

Although a few might be fortunate and make a profit, its likely that the majority don't.
Between us we might buy 2 lines a month & certainly haven't recouped the cost. A family member organises a work syndicate with more lines. The same applies there.

Under the old system there was a one in 56.7 chance of winning £10.

If you enter one ticket for all the draws that works out at just under two £10 wins per year. That seems to be roughly the frequency of my wins.

When it was £1 per go that returned £20 for an outlay of £104 per year.

Premium Bonds sound a better investment - at least you'd get the capital back ;-)

when I worked at our local hospital, one of the ward syndicates had a kitty of just over £160 - they spent the lot on lucky dips and didn't win a penny
