Lottery Tickets
18 Answers
do many of you buy lottery tickets even if you are short of money, I have been talking to someone who I know is not very well off but they spend at least £10 a week on tickets or those cards without much success and I have been trying to persuade them that it would be better to just save the money that they would be spending until they have £100.00 and then buy a premium bond ,I know it is not possible to win such huge amounts but at least you have not lost the money you can get it back again if you need it.

The stats person also knows that buying one 2 tickets per week should get back around a couple of tenners per year. It was therefore frustrating when I realised that I'd gone over three and a half years (where I should have expected around 7 tenners) without a single win. Then I missed buying just one ticket last October and ....guess what?
(At least it was only a tenner I missed out on. It would have been far worse if it had been the jackpot!)

Not as annoying as one of the few times I did buy a ticket a few years back and got 5 numbers!..... annoying because one of the 5 numbers was the bonus ball so isn't counted unless you get 6 numbers!... if it had been 5 "normal" numbers that week It would have been about 200K.... 4 numbers plus the bonus ball got me £70

On the very first National Lottery draw my friend watched and saw that the first number drawn was on her ticket. So was the second. And the third. And the fourth. Regrettably the last two numbers didn't match but I bet her heart was racing that night. (Ever since then she seems to assume that she's being cheated if she doesn't get a least a tenner once per month, based upon a stake of just £1 per week!).
Another friend's mother got 5 numbers plus the bonus ball, which enabled her to give her car to her teenage grandson, together with a course of driving lessons. That saved me a lot of hassle because I'd promised to teach him to drive!

>>>We've also got a Celebrity Death Club
I couldn't resist googling 'Celebrity Death Club' and I came up with this:
http://www.deathlist.net/
I wonder if people listed there know about it and, if so, what they think about it!
