"I won the lottery"

I heard the jackpot was £15 million or something so I thought I might as well try my luck - and I got 5 numbers!

This means I'll get a meaty share of the treasure, right?



I'm going to buy the first person to reply a fur coat and a car.

Ha, you make it sound so easy!

You do realise that you've just got really, really lucky. There's gonna be loads of people who haven't won anything!

It's impossible to guarantee a profit off of a lottery, unless you fix it...

That'd cover me for the deposit for a wheelchair I've got my eye on ...

Mind you don't fall over that hint I just dropped.

Match 6 of 6 main numbers - 1 : 13,983,816

Match 5 of 6 numbers plus the bonus number - 1 : 2,330,636

Match 5 of 6 main numbers - 1 : 55,492

Match 4 of 6 main numbers - 1 : 1,033

Match 3 of 6 main numbers - 1 : 57

Considering you've gotta invest £55,492 for every one win of £750, it is quite a rip off!

These odds don't look right either...

In fact, yes they do! Going by one draw a week you'll only win £10 once every year and five weeks!

Ha, that's great.

£34 for 4 balls.

The lottery is a complete farce now, the jackpots are crap. Hence why I've never done it.

I won £2 on an instant the other day however, takes my year profits to 100% over my investments...
