    Sure, I might have missed out on €26,500,000 but I made my ticket money back plus a €3 profit to boot, so all's good!

    I might splash out and go crazy in the Oxfam shop tomorrow...


    Anyone else strike it lucky tonight...

    Is this the first ticket you've ever bought for Euromillions?

    If not, then you're not €3 up, you're way down!

    Lottery = Idiot tax!

    Only thing better than that is when you get more steak than kidney in a Denny S&K pie!

    My sister works for O2 and won 4 tickets to the Scotland match tomorrow for selling the most new connections or something. Only problem is she has to go for all the tickets to be valid and she has other plans. What sort of stupid company gives out match tickets the day before the match??? Talk about being given a dream and having it smashed all in one fell swoop. To quote John Bishop 'It's like being told you can shag the Corrs but you have to start with the brother'.

    Such wealth, I would advise you put it in the bank, retire and live of the interest for the rest of your life.

    €9, what a paltry amount for a prize, I was considering taking up the euro lottery and winning regularly but if their paying out amounts that are 00000000. something lower than 1% of the grand prize I won't bother.

    I won €10 last night too! Only problem is, it is a work syndicate split 9 ways, so I won the princely sum of €1.11. Still, a win's a win! How about a pint to celebrate Dark Crystal? (You may have to sub me the cost of a pint minus €1.11)
