National Clottery

Post by chas » 28 Feb 2015, 23:30

For the third time in it's history I have just got 4 numbers and ended up with the grand total of £35.00. :lolno:
Will it change my life ?
4 out of 6, I think they should at least pay me a million to give me some faith in the bloody thing if nothing else, I know just what will happen if I stop doing it, the problem with choosing set lines at the onset and memorising them.
Talk about living in hope, I know there are some lottery winners on here and I hope they realise just how lucky they are/were, best of luck to them.
Would they please tell me the secret to winning a life changing sum.

About 18 years ago my numbers came up. I didn't have a ticket in. A half share in 2.7 million South Pacific Pesos would have been nice. Allowing for inflation since then, the share that got away was roughly 1.5 million pounds. I do have a winning ticket for roughly 55 pounds I need to find and cash.

Ooooh !!!!!!!
I've heard rumours of that happening but never a first hand account and never such a sum, swearing is frowned upon here so will say no more except that is the very reason I won't stop doing my set and memorised numbers, would I feel sick or what, as you must have done at the time. :)

15 years back, 4 numbers got me £100. 17 years back 5 numbers got me £4500.
Nothing major since, it must be rigged :D

When it first started a family friend of the EX wife was part owner (one of 10-12 in the office)
His share was about £300,000
Paid 200 grand for a new house and 20 grand on a BMW.
He landed a fit wife and she spent money like it was going out of fashion.
Within 12 months he was already remorgaging the house, sold the BMW
Just over 2 years she left when the money started to run thin.
Within 3 years he was broke after the devorce and living in a box room at his mums house.

Have you ever noticed how there is always at least one double and triple roll over before christmas and the same before newyears :roll:

A mate won, didn't state it, but it was obvious. I don't know how much, but he was a fitter and turner, working the night shift, living in a run down old fibro cement clad house with his mother with dementia. In a two week period he put his mother in a nursing home, sold the old house at land value, bought a waterfront brick and tile house, replaced his car with a top of the line Land Cruiser and his girlfriend moved in with him. He still worked the night shift, so I think he spent it all.

I've tried hard to win it but only won the odd tenner here or there and fifty odd quid once. Know a couple of chaps who had a very decent win. There were three brothers but one stopped doing it because of the cost involved. Yip the numbers came in after he dropped out.

Won about 40 quid. A syndicate at work won twice, first time 15k each. Second time 3 k each.
Lucky we are not allowed to swear on here. :evil:

The best description I've heard of the National Lottery - A tax on stupidity :D
