Just had to buy my mum's work syndicates lottery tickets. They've been doing it since it started but they still havent won the jackpot yet. My parents use to do a few lines each week but I think either before or after my father passed away they soon stopped it. God know how much money they wasted on it all those years. Well not really wasted because some of it goes to a good cause. Well actually no it doesn't I heard in the newspaper awhile ago about how they have billions just sitting in a bank account. Apparently they're being too picky with who they give the money to.

My brother use to do the scratch cards and one a few times, I think my parents and my mums work won a few tenners. Their work won with 4 numbers once and I think that was shared between them all but really wasnt much.

Another article I read not long ago was about these university professors who tried to figure a way how to win it and just stuck with the numbers all these years and finally hit the jackpot.

I remember awhile ago doing a thread about someone changing his numbers to the numbers in Lost (the TV series) only to have his previous numbers come up, perhaps not with the jackpot but the next one up so making him miss out on a huge sum.

Thats 18 billion right? I doubt it's that much, something around 200,000,000-1 would be about right.

(50P5)(9P2) = 18,306,086,400
(50P5) + (9P2) = 254,251,272

Gotta be one of the two... I think.

perhaps ... I'd look into it more logically and scientifically, but I'm just not in the mood :)

It's got to be more than that, maybe if they lived anywhere in the world...

I think I read somewhere they're the same odds of approaching a stranger in the street and guessing their phone number ... (assuming they were local (6 digits)) ... kinda puts it into perspective ...

What, is that the jackpot? Strange how more people play when the winnings are higher, when you have no higher chances ...

120 mmmmillion ... what on earth would you do with that?
