    I won two euro today through the bookies haha.

    The bookies would of gave you 475/1, 300/1 or 250/1 if you matched three numbers depending on which way you wanted to play.

    £10 on the English lottery... whoop-te-doo.
    But then I don't really play the lotto or buy scratch cards... maybe once a year or something out of boredom.

    I won 20 euro on the Lotto once. Well not exactly on the Lotto. I bet a friend of mine €20 that he would not match one number on the Lotto and if he actually won something, I would double it.

    On a set of five scratchcards I won 2 euro, 10 euro, 40 euro and a free ticket, on which I won 8 euro.

    Thats a total of 60 euro, not too shabby.

    It's always nice to get more of course. The way it is with these things is that if they are to attract people, the jackpot has to be much bigger than the next prize. Also, if they start paying higher for the lower prizes, then that reduces the jackpot. It would have been nice to have got the 6 numbers, but I still won €1020 for the 5 numbers, so that was good. Had I only got 4 numbers I'd have won less than 50, so looking at it that way, it was a big jump up having that extra number. I was glad of the €1020, even if I had one number wrong for the jackpot. Looking at the amounts other people are posting here, I did quite well.

    I won a scratchcard tonight by the way. :)

    WUHOO GO ON THE SCRATCH CARDS MAYBE I'LL WIN MY FORTUNE ON THAT? FINGERS CROSSED;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    Yeah i got the 5 numbers too about 6 yrs ago, won about a grand....was disgusted cos i thought i was after winnin 20,000 or something like that! I spent it all on my car insurance which was a small fortune at the time....when i collected my winnings it was all in 20euro notes, I got a few funny comments from the folks in the dole queue in the post office! :D

    its funny cos before that i was on a bit of a pattern, i got 3 numbers, then 3 plus the bonus no., then 4 numbers, then 4 and the bonus, and then 5....but the luck stopped there :( If i ever do make it to 6 numbers im finally buying that pet tiger :D

    what is the odds on that?
    am I right in saying

    (36/42) x (35/41) ..... x (31/37) = 37%?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,171 ✭✭✭Neamhshuntasach


    Never won on the lotto. However i won 65 grand in Vegas. But the IRS took a huge chunk of that. And the rest went straight off college debts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,432 ✭✭✭Steve_o


    €40 on the Euro Millions, I spent it on more Euro Millions tickets...I was happy with my investment!
