    Seriously? Are your legs broken?

    No I can walk perfectly fine. A huge amount of the republics population will get in their vehicle to go shopping even if it is just a 5 minute walk down the road.
    Or do you never leave the house except to get a lotto ticket

    Are you asking me personally or just being very bad at trying to implement sarcasism.

    which equivalates to around to 208 a year which in my case would be one month of rent. Also not taking into account the cost of petrol to get to the shop it would amount to a lot more


    so you're broke and can't afford to do the lotto or the petrol to go to the shop to do the lotto in the first place

    what lesson have we learn't here??

    conclusion 1: if you have no money you can't do the lotto
    conclusion 2: if you don't do the lotto you can't win (if you're not in you can't win)
    conclusion 3: if you can't win you will have no money
    conclusion 4: = conclusion 1

    so its a never ending circle


    how to fix this problem do the lotto every chance you get (conclusion 3)

    is this making sense to anyone?
    lol:D

    I can agree with some of your points. If it was spread out so that more people would have a chance of winning less than a million it would make more sense to have a higher number of people well off.

    Yeah that's the idea, probably did not express myself very well ;)
    A fairer system, that's it.

    No Im financially sound for the short to medium term at the very least
    conclusion 3: if you can't win you will have no money
    conclusion 4: = conclusion 1

    Money is there it is up to you to find it. In our current capitalist world it is up to the individual to gain his own success. Lotto is one way of getting credit but in reality its a chancers world and its never going to be a certainty.

    no

    You can spend but my opinion is different. Im not a miser more like a person that feels spending money on air such as the lotto is a waste of cash.

    The government take enough money off me through income tax I would make sure I spend in the north for personal gain not in the interests of the country. The recession would not have been as severe as in excess tax only for our incompetent govenment.

    go onto www.lotto.ie and you can enter your numbers and they'll check the last 8 draws for you. Wouldn't waste your time though, the winning ticket is over the other side of my sitting room ;)

    so how did it go with the guy in spain i hope you didn't get afraid and not send your details cos some mate of yours down the pub said it was a scam. ask him did he ever send his bank details to reputable contact in spain and recieve 300k i bet he will say no. see he will never have any money unlike a smart guy like you who see's an oppurtunity and jumps right in

    so go ahead e-mail that guy
    let us know what happens
    and good luck mate
    i can allways say i knew that guy when he had nothin:D

    I won a €1 scratchcard from €10 spent :( I'm expecting €10k from the scratchcard though!

    Some winnings, I would have liked to have seen it spread between 4 or 5 winners though for such a big amount. I'd love if it was a syndicate or something who won.

    Imagine the guy who won it tomorrow.
    Crashing his porsche into his work place to get out and soak everyone with champagne at 9 in the morning. No-one needs that kind of distraction in a recession.

    The lotto was won last night? I thought it was going to roll over again until wednesday, so i didn't play it. Save my money and put it towards the price of the ticket on wednesday. Ah well, they'll be another time.

    just checked these for my family from the last 2 weeks.. nothing.

    just thinking you have the same chance of winning as doing 2 lines of a quickpick and getting the same numbers on both lines.. will still do it next time it breaks 10 million tho.
