Have you seen the new Walkers crisps promotion?
"Is There A "20 NOTE Inside?"
The answer is probably not. Around 11 Million packets of walkers "snacks" are sold every day. While of cause this promotion is not included on every packet sold It would be fair to say that 5 million of these packets are those "promotional packets"
So 7x5=35 say the promotion runs for 2 months so 35x6=280. 280 Million promotional packets of crisps and look at the prize's 3,250 x £20 notes, 187,000 x £5 Notes and 25 Million Free (27p) packets of crisp.
Using the above we can see that less than 9% of the packets contain a Free crisp voucher, Less than 0.1% contain a free £5 note and as for a £20 well anybody done a degree in maths?
So, I would guess that you would have probably more chance of wining a small prize on the Lottery, than actually finding a £20 note in your packet of crisps.
PS If you didn't know the chance of winning the Jackpot on the National Lottery is around 14Million to 1.

There was fears about large consortiums doing such a "dreadful" thing as buying 14 million lottery tickets and so Camelot have introduced some form of legislation in their terms and conditions outlawing such mass purchases of lottery tickets.
Even if there was no such preventions as above how on earth could anybody purchases 14 million lottery tickets in one week? Even at a 24X7 retailer placing 6 lines at a time taking approximately 1 Minute each, this would only generate 60480 tickets. So you would need over 280 people buying 6 tickets every minute of the day for 7 days and when was the last time you bought 1 lottery ticket in 6 minutes!

Ahh, but if you're clever (like me), you'd wait until the next superdraw (they happen every few months or so). The jackpot would be 20mil, but then with your 14 million it goes up to, say 25mill. Share that with one other person, you got yourself 12.5mil, and if you win all the other prizes as well (3nos, 4nos, etc), then you'll easily get more than 1.5mill from that lot.
Thus, making a profit PLUS all the interest you gained on the full 20 mil while wiating for the next superdraw.
See?
:-)

Aah, but then to take a worst case scenario, you win 20 mil, so the next week isnt a rollover, the jackpot falls to about 8 or 9 mil. Your 14 mil you put in raises the jackpot to 15 mil.
You share the win with 1 other, taking it to 7.5 mil, meaning to be in profit you would have to win 6.5 mil in sub-prizes.
There is more chance of making a loss than a profit out of that one, YH. Sorry to pee on your cornflakes there.

So in conclusion your telling me I should spend all my money buying crisps and I'll make a fortune. ;)
I got a fiver in a packet. And a free bag of crisps.
No chance of winning if they didn't put any in the bas at all, so stop whining. :D
* Your Honour to himself after seeing that post *
Yeah my plan is great :-D
Yeah my plan is great :-D
Yeah but if more than one person wins then you will lose money out of it.

Indeed it is, because there is around 14 million different combinataions of numbers you can make up.
So, if you win the £20 million superdraw, the following week, you buy a ticked with every single different combinations of number, meaning you've got £6million sitting in the bank, and you'll win every combination of prize the following week.
See, I'm a genius!
