With the crazy jackpot has anyone got a ticket?

[Blondie]

I went and got 4 lucky dip today. I very rarely play - oy when I get sucked in by the marketing and hype of a massive jackpot.....

If I win a little farm with will certainly be on the top of the list.

It's just a very clever tax on (mosty) the poorest in society.

Why not save up each week until you have enough to buy a block of  Premium Bonds? At least you don't lose your stake.

They do a lottery here over the summer where tickets are £100 (or there abouts) and most of the winners have been people able to afford the tickets outright, rather than as syndicates. .

I'm betting it won't.

In their lifetime, or at 10pm on a Saturday?

Never have, never will.

They were laughing t me in the shop when I asked for instructions on how to do it, I sometimes get a lucky dip but went for my own numbers this time.  I had one. And several close ones. Nevermind, the brand new lorry will have to wait lol.

[Blondie]

Matched two number so have a free lucky dip for next week....... Maybe next week I'll win!

[john and helen]

i guess i'm wealthy enough, no money, but two lovely fields gradually building up with livestock, fences being erected, animal houses being built, and all with our own hands….who wants millions…i think you would start to worry about loosing it, then start to question all those friends who come out the wood work…

nope..i will stay poor and happy

[Castle Farm]

I won £25 on it last Wednesday and re-invested it on last nights draw.


If I win the jackpot I'll still carry on farming till it's all gone.

[WestBerkshire]

Didn't win anything - no farm for me

[Rupert the bear]

I'm cold, wet , grumpy and tired , bits of me no longer work. I look around at the flooded parks,lakes of mud and next doors wind blown rubbish ! but  like everyone else We all have won the lottery ! the prize is of living the dream ,immeasurable wealth regardless of how many share the winning numbers and no ticket required.

Didn't need the money anyway 

[pgkevet]

I generally consider it a tax on stupidity but did invest a small sum this (rare) time.
I did win but the £25 doesn't quite cover the cost of the new house  to be built into the side of middle field hill, the whole new drainage system and relevelling of the flat fields, the new extensive hobby shed and machine tools or the citation jet on standby with my personal R24 heli to get to the airfield and I've had to cancel the order for my new maclaren car. Sadly 60mill wouldn't have been enough for my prospective designs for far field hill glasshouse and hillside terracing for Welsh grown bananas, sapodillos rambutans and breadfruit and orchids. But then i guess I was dreaming a bit high.....
Of course if  was the last but one socialist prime minister I'd have accumulated more than that...
