Have you ever won big on the lotto?

mark085

There was a big win around my way lately but did you ever win big? Most I ever won was a tenner 2 weeks in a row for 4 numbers pfffft

Surreptitious

My father and sister did. I've never won anything.

Armchair Andy

Won a couple of million there a year ago. Blew it on coke and hookers, the rest I just squandered.

most ive ever won was 500 3 or 4 times on scratchcards... but ive kinda given them up because i dont want to end up down money overall... its a pity really because when you win a nice amount a few times winning a tenner here and there doesnt seem as great... not that id turn it down at all

Got 5 numbers in the 90's and got 175 punts. Rip off, should have got a couple of thousand for five numbers. Six would have bagged a million.

Most I ever won was €2,000 on the euromillions plus draw, one number off €500,000.


Sister won the lotto plus draw a few years ago 250k.

mad muffin

€10 was the most I've ever won.

Won over a grand twice but generally only small wins. I keep those for weeks until I have a few so it's worth collecting - usually anywhere from €40 to €80 at a time. I will win big though !!! I feel it in my water. !

Personally I know at least 3 Lotto Millionaires, just my turn hasn't come yet.

10 posts in and the 'Lottery is a tax on fools' brigade haven't turned up yet..... very disappointing thread OP

diomed

£236 for five numbers in October 1993.
The same day I won a car in a draw.

I won €17500 on the lotto many moons ago, bought a car the following week and paid off an existing car loan and that was it gone.

Raytown Rocks

Yep, won over £100,000.00 ( hundred thousand punts) back in the early 90's.
Won it in a different country, and that's what it was worth when I sent it home
True story

My largest win was around €170 for 4 plus the bonus about 4 years ago. Came in very handy too as when I got around to checking the ticket I think I had about twenty euro in my bank account!

Personally I won €25 once. I was in a work syndicate that won about £800 twice. There were loads of us in it so it didn't amount to much.

I have an on-line account these days. If you win even €3, you get an email telling you that you have won but they don't mention the amount and tell you to check your account. I was coming to work one morning when an Irish player shared a Euro Millions jackpot of around €170M. I heard the numbers on the radio but could only remember the Lucky Stars.

When I got to work, I checked my email and, sure enough, I had the 'you have just won..." email. I had a printout of my ticket. One of the lines had the two Lucky Stars numbers..... my heart was racing as I opened my lotto account....I won €3 for matching one number and two Lucky Stars.:(:(:(

For one fleeting moment I was a multi-millionaire. Fortunately my boss didn't piss me off before I discovered the truth!

I won 20 pounds in 1994 - bought a painting from Rocky the street artist with it - he did very cool spray can paintings of ships and planets and pyramids and wrote "Peace in Ireland, 1994" as the inscription

it must be worth a fortune by now...

Biggest win I ever had was around €45.

I watched the draw live and I had the first four numbers drawn and it was horrible watching as the next two numbers dropped.

hinault

I've never won anything on any lottery.

My best friends sister won the UK lottery jackpot during 1990's. She was part of a work syndicate and pocketed several million Sterling.
