    yea, regular lotto machine.. just ask for raffle ticket. they will sell out tho since there's only 300,000 tickets. 20quid but by far the best chance you ever have of making money.

    think it's 1 in 600 of hittin prize money and 1 in 150,000 of bein a millionaire.. still stupid odds but miles better than actual lotto

    Agreed - we have entered the last 3 millionaire raffles €20 a go ....no luck .

    The first 10 prizes are live on air and after that you have to wait till next day to check if you are a winner .

    Believe me , its not worth entering this raffle .

    Better to try your luck on 5-4-3-2-1 ..............

    I have put € 5 weekly on one number and have collected €30 many times .

    Its all down to luck !

    what's 5-4-3-2-1?


    and i don't think anyone can say millionaire raffle is a fix? higher odds for a higher payout.. no one is gonna write home about 30quid.

    what's 5-4-3-2-1?
    .

    Anyone that knows what the millionaire raffle is , should surely know what 5-4-3-2-1- is .

    Anyway its like this for € 1 stake :

    Match 1/6 = win € 6
    Match 2/6 = win €40
    Match 3/6 = win € 540
    Match 4/6 = win € 5,000

    and so on...........

    If you put your € 4 stake on 3 numbers , you could win a nice sum of over €2,000 .

    Nothing to write home about eh ?

    the lotto and all derivatives are a tax on the mathematically challenged.

    in fairness, the lotto is 50/50.. either you win or you don't.

    I've come to the conclusion that people who say "it's the best way to make money" or "I always play the same numbers they're bound to come up" really don't understand the basics of how a lottery works.

    but hey, whatever floats your boat.

    What really grinds my gears is that at least some (possibly most) of these people are the same ones giving out about how tough the recession is but still happily handing over money for the lotto every week.

    So what are we suppose to do? Give up the very thing that is sustaining us, hope.
