Yes, good idea. Everyone interested set up a twice weekly standing order to my bank account. I'll let you know whether we win or not.

I am so glad that I'm not working this Wednesday. Last time I was working a lotto night, with a prize of 6 million, it was absolute mayhem. It'll be even worse on Wednesday.

The cheapest Quickpick you can get is 2 lines at 3 euro, and an extra 1 euro for the plus. I think 2 lines is the absolute minimum.

you're correct

A syndicate is a very good idea...until there are syndicates left right and centre and it ends up like in Bruce ALmighty where everyone wins the lotto and get's less than $1 each

eirebhoy · 22-07-2007 12:19AM

According to the lotto site here's the balls that were last drawn the longest time ago (if that makes sense):

38 has been drawn 213 times which represents 15.7% of total draws, the last date it was drawn was Saturday May 5, 2007 - 22 draws ago

---
12 has been drawn 220 times which represents 16.2% of total draws, the last date it was drawn was Wednesday May 9, 2007 - 21 draws ago

---

40 has been drawn 214 times which represents 15.8% of total draws, the last date it was drawn was Wednesday May 23, 2007 - 17 draws ago

...

I know there's as much chance of any numbers coming out on Saturday but I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. For example, if I'm in a casino and the last 4 balls in roullette have landed on a black, I'll be doing the red.

I'm gonna stick 2 singles and a double on 38 and 12 in the bookies for Wednesday's draw and see how I get on.

The lotto might be a stupidity tax, but you can't deny one simple fact:

Somebody wins that fuc.king money.

And it's always some gormless gob****e who hasn't a clue what to do with it.

"Ah sure, I'm 83 now, so Ah sure I'll take the family on holiday anyway. Sure I won't be movin house it's graaand here in the village"

Binomate · 22-07-2007 12:43AM

There are people running syndicates where I work who come in and spend about €500 a week on lotto tickets. They usually win about €100 - €200 worth of small prizes from us, and they claim their bigger prizes from the post office. If they don't get their money back, they usually come close, and probably win more through all of the scratch cards they win.

I'll never forget one of the earliest big winners. It was some widow in her 70s who lived on a farm in Galway, and she won something like £3 million. When she was asked what she was going to do she said she'd probably buy a few more sheep and a second hand car. FFS, you have a responsibility to all the losers when you're given wad of cash like that, and buying a few poxy sheep is a surefire way to p*ss them off when they start thinking about what they would have done with the money.

If it makes you feel better, I will get fcuked up with drugs and hookers.

Edit: And wrap various supercars around various trees.

Slutmonkey57b · 22-07-2007 01:25AM

I will apply for lots of jobs and put "hookers and blow" down on the applications under "weaknesses"

Slutmonkey57b · 22-07-2007 01:28AM

Thw worst is that scumbag from Limerick who won the 118m. She still lives in limerick, and is building a farm.. in clare! WHO THE **** stays in limerick after winning that much money. Not only would I be on the first plane out of here, I'd charter a whole plane full of pig**** to rain down on the country behind me as I left.

Imagine you sent your teenage child into the shop to get the lotto tickets and the shop assistents served them.

Then you win the Lotto, but the National Lottery view the CCTV and refuse to pay as they're underage.:eek:

If it hasn't happened yet, it could happen one day. Shops aren't too strict on selling tickets to minors

bit harsh? What makes her a scumbag? Perhaps there were news stories that I ignored (like all of them regarding lotto winners)?

Or is the only reason to call her a scumbag that she lived/lives in an undesirable part of Limerick?

If it is, then, she could conciveably be a nice person who happens to live in a not so great area?

Your wrong on so many things there. She did move away from Limerick (not that there is anything wrong with the place) and she now lives in a very large house in Clare on about 7 acres of land. And she is not a scumbag. And I know all this because she's living a few miles away from me.

As for the woman winning 118 million. I remember her being asked what she would spend it on and she said "I'll get a new handbag".

intheknow · 22-07-2007 12:42PM

If I won 12 mil I would probably be dead before christmas. I dont understand the word/term Moderation you see. So I wont be doing it.

Well I won thousands on blackjack by using the double up technique so I couldn't care less.

Very risky of course. I'd love to know the longest amount of draws a certain ball has gone without been drawn.

Nothing wrong with Limerick!!

Where to start with that one. The only progression towards the future Limerick has ever seen is its promotion from Stab City to Shotgun City in the past few years.

1) When you win 118 MILLION, you don't live on a farm in Clare. You live in the Cayman Islands. Or the Maldives. Or New York ****ing City. These are places you can only live if you've got the 118 million. Any poor fool can live in Clare. Living in Clare is a punishment, not a reward. You certainly don't "upgrade" to a bigger house in Limerick while you're building your house in Clare. The only interaction a massive lottery winner should be having with Limerick is paying for a huge banner to fly over the city that says "Hello Scum".

2) Isn't she closely related to a lot of very dangerous gangsters, who are locked up for murder? Clearly a pillar of society then.

3) Anyone who wastes 118m living in the dreary rain-sodden west of Ireland is a total and utter scumbag, for wasting the greatest opportunity you could be given. If she wants to live like a dreary farmer, then make her give the money to starving kids in africa, or someone who has a clue what to do with it (ie me), because it's an insult to the rest of us. Waster.
