    Yeah so I've just learnt that i won the lotto jackpot last night!

    Received a lovely phone call this morning to inform me lol!

    Not the Spanish/Nigerian one etc etc, not the UK or Irish one either, and while my jackpot win isn't in million's, the princely sum of £6,250 will definitely come in handy!

    I matched all four numbers in the GAA club lotto in my home town up north.

    Half a loaf, better than no bread! Kerching :pac:

    Interestingly enough, only last week i was considering canceling my monthly direct debits to but my tickets btw.

    I got three numbers on the national lotto during the week and won €5 - getting three numbers is hard, should it not be more than that?!

    Congratulations!

    I won 40 quid in a GAA lottery in my wife's home town before but I only found out about a year later because they never contacted me.

    Obviously didn't want to divert mullah shekels from The Parish to Dublin.

    Yaay! The recession is over!

    Dear Ghandee

    I am contacting you to congratulate you on your win.
    At the moment I am in West Africa working with blind,one armed orphans who have super aids.
    I am hoping you could send some money to our organization to help these poor poor kids.

    Blessings on you and your first world life.
    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Cuchulainn1.

    You're lucky you didnt say that in the HHC thread or we would be debating for a month the fact you had E10 to spare on wasteful tickets...

    The money for the lotto is shít unless you win it, compared to doing it in the bookies - only thing is you have to pick the numbers & can't pick more than 5

    3 numbers in the bookies is 301/1 from 7 balls & 576/1 from 6 balls

    In the main draw on saturday night 5 numbers would've won you €1482, same 5 numbers in the bookies 30001/1

    Does your Dad have the same name as you? If he does he might lodge the cheque and head for Mexico. You should go collect it IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

    GAA draws differ in winnings everywhere I did it just once and got 3 of the 4 numbers had I done 20 instead of 21 I'd have won 8,400 in euro but I got 75 euro instead seeing as I only got 3 numbers wasn't bad for 2 euro once off never done it since I'm not usually lucky so I don't test faith too much
