3m (i think was projected) ÷ 6 = half a million.

Personally, if I found (find) out I've won. Raging will definitely not be one emotion I experience in the morning.

Ya greedy shiite :pac:

Well I'd probably be delighted, but the difference is 600k or 3.5million. Still I would really really like 600k.

6 winning tickets is mental. I smell a rat.

Instead of €3.5m, you're getting 600k. Not to be sniffed at. But probably not the life of luxury you'd expect for winning the lotto.

First world problems eh ? Won 3.5m jackpot. Have to share it.

murrayp4

Just to clarify, I would fu€king love 600k.

But thats the point. You havent won it, if the €3.5m jackpot, has to be shared with 6 other people.

Sure you have. You've won it as well as 5 other people. So it has to be shared.

Not really. It's an odds based game. So this is probably the one out of whatever case happening of potentially 6 people winning it.

How??? It can happen, unlikely, but it can...

For example many people pick numbers that are birthdays(day and month), which is why when a survey(think it was uk, but unsure) was done of the relative frequencies of numbers chosen by 100,000 people the numbers 1 through 12 were in the top 16 numbers chosen. The top two were 9 and 7, sept and july, maybe?



Also, 14th january 1995, uk lottery, had 133 winners of a jackpot of 16m.
Winning numbers were 7,17,23,32,38,42. Obviously a popular sequence.


And a probability expert said that 1,2,3,4,5,6 is a foolish sequence. If the numbers do come up, you will have to share the jackpot with many people.

No you have not won the jackpot, you will only receive one sixth of the €3.5m, which is why some people may be a bit annoyed.

You said "first world problem".
But I know if I checked my ticket tomorrow, and was celebrating, then only to find out, Ive lost about 83%, I would be kinda upset. But I would still be happy with nearly 600,000. But still upset missing nearly 3ish million

Greedy bastard. If I won half a million quid I'd be ****ing comatose with excitement. I found a fiver last week and I nearly cried.

From the Lotto website and the title of this thread "There were 6 winners of the Lotto Jackpot". The jackpot was 3.5 million and 6 people won it. If one was me I'd have won the jackpot along with 5 other people.

You said "first world problem".

I'd see it as first world problem to only get 1/6th of a 3.5 million jackpot. I'd be upset too probably but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over some poor old soul who's going to bed 600k richer this tonight. Its hardly the worst problem to ever have is it ?

Exactly!a 600 k win and you'd be gutted?Jaysus your a hard man concrete!

Cee-Jay-Cee

I'm totally delighted with my share of the jackpot. Yes, it would have been nicer if I won the whole lot on my win but hey ho, I'll get over it as I count my six hundred thousand euros.

linvoysblues

I'd definitely be a little peeved if I had to share the jackpot with 5 others. This isn't exactly a 'something for nothing' deal, these people have paid for their tickets (a euro or two, whatever it is), probably most of them would have bought multiple, maybe spent €10-€20 to increase their chances of winning. If it was for free, a raffle or something then it'd be different.

I know you always run the risk of sharing the prize, but to hit a 8,000,000/1 shot only to find out 5 others have as well would be a bit deflating.

Nothing to do with greed, more to do with expecting one thing and getting another. Put it this way, if you were expecting to win 600k and you did, you'd be ecstatic.

RayM

I'd be thrilled, but at some point I'd probably find myself thinking "well, that's just fucking typical."

Jeez, about 10k would do all that for me! (my standards are low...!)

600k? That's enough to quit working forever. I'd be over the moon.

Well apart from 4-5 the rest of the numbers are all 8 apart from each other, maybe that has something to do with it?

Delighted 6 different people won it rather than same old people who dont need the money who seem to win it a lot of the time,hopefully it was a few working class among the 6 spread the wealth and all that.

deco nate

Until the next day and found out their was 27 other winners too!! I think he got 68 grand in the end. Now that's a sickener . But I fcuking laughed my arse off cos he is a dick

600k enough to quit working forever?! Even on an modest/average wage of say €30k a year, that's only 20years. Before you buy a house or a car or take a holiday. You must plan on dying young?

The first thing a Lotto winner does I suspect is check how many other winners there are.

Not back in the early 90s.you had to wait until the next day. The dark days of technology/information for those that remember it:)

Lotto last night was over €3.5 million and there was 6 winners..I'd be bawling if I had the 6 numbers last night and then find out it had to be shared 6 times

racso1975

Worse still if one of those 6 was a syndicate of 20!!!!! Sure you'd hardly dent the credit card.

WilyCoyote

There are a lot of people bawling about it in another thread as well

I was happy when I found out I won €25 on a scratchcard last week, if anyone's disappointed with their winnings, I'll take them off your hands

Soarer

Does anyone know where you can find out what sequence the numbers were drawn in?

RTE Player isn't updated.

I be delighted if I won anything over 500 euro on the lotto, I only ever win scratch cards ??? And I don't have an itch.

dan1895

I was delighted yesterday morning when I remembered I had bought a euro millions ticket for the first time in years on Friday. Checked it and won €13!

Wasted it all on more lotto tickets.

I would imagine the government is well pleased with my generous contribution to the tax of the stupid every week ;-)

I would be delighted to be waking up with 600k extra in my pocket, however if any to all the other tickets were quick picks Id be miffed
