Millionaire Raffle

My mate Paul's mother in law won this i think it was ten thousand she got if I'm not mistaken

It's the luck of the draw, I guess... Though at a quick glance, and I mean a quick glance at this hour, I can see 3 winners in the space of 8 numbers, but I can also see 0 winners in the space of ~300 numbers. That's for the €500 winners. Though, I do question if this electronic draw is truly random.

finnharpsboy

It's not a test. You don't fail the lotto lol

Zero for me again. Closest was nine tickets away from €500 on a ticket split five ways.

You can always come up and see my ticket sometime 🤪

So how about you??? Not sure that “didn’t win anything” sounds plausible

costacorta

I came across your post a year ago where you were asking if "we" were sure that anyone actually won a million. Now you "question" if the draw is random. Conspiracy theorist always have "questions".

apache

Thought there would be more winners. Not bothered now that I forgot to get one.

phormium

Nothing here either, glad I didn't buy a second one! I should know better at this stage than to buy one in first place!

beertons

50 off 500. Till the next one.

Not as close as you might think. 8,500 winning tickets from 600,000 so in theory if you’re more than 35 out you’re a mile off.

How many did you buy?

Oscar_Madison

So there’s a few posters here, some purchased more than one ticket- and not one of us won anything - just shows ya how much the odds are staked against us all.

I was joking about the €1 million winner. But the randomness is a little more serious. It's an electronic programme inputted by humans, that could be interfered with. Be it programmers or hackers. I'm guessing there are certain outputs as an instruction that wouldn't be allowed, like it wouldn't be allowed have say 20 winners in chronological sequence, let alone all winners be from ticket 1-8,499. I'm just saying you wouldn't know what's in the programme.

It's not like watching a drum where you can see the numbers come out before your very eyes. Though even that could be potentially rigged and I am suspicious of. *cough*No winner of the current Lotto jackpot for almost 3 months.*cough* And who can forget when it rolled on for over 6 month without a winner a couple of years ago and was won around early/mid January?

For a 1000 euro prize I was out by exactly one hundred tickets before me.

The rest of my 14 tickets were absolutely cat. Gaps of about 700 were as good as it got but not for the serious money.

I couldn't be arsed cross referencing how close I came to 500 tbh.

Still, good to see I didn't lose out by one or two, I'd be racking my brains thinking of what eejit in the shop held me up, why I had to have that last drink the night before and be a minute more hungover, and other sliding doors moments I could blame for it.

Unless I'm reading it wrong NOT ONE SINGLE TICKET FROM THE FINAL 100K won a penny.

Not one winner from 500k and above of the tickets.

FFS did the system register these sales at all?

As the saying goes "follow the money". Who is doing the rigging, and who is getting money from it?

You also made a false claim about the odds. "The National Lottery with their BS about more prizes. Omitting that your chances of winning any prize are even more remote."

And you introduced a story about people who bought 100 tickets and never won. Was that a joke as well, or can you show evidence?

You're reading it wrong.
