Darn it, I was depending on that million quid to sort out my Christmas

Mrs Pa will now have to go out driving Taxi's over the festive period and Wee Sandy is heading for the Cat & Dog Home.

Must go and pay my Golf Club fees now.

Dont worry Pa, whats the chances of us all not being millionaires by the end of this? Must be tiny.

I am taking out 50 of those short term payday loans to get the shopping done - it's only until Friday and I am struggling to see any down side in what is effectively just an ironing out of timing differences.

Hopefully no-one's going to be asking the same "Have we won " ? question after every draw,this being a public forum open to every Harry, Dick and Tom ( that's how the Chinese express it, in case you didn't know ).

Instead,just wait for an e-mail notification from AkNel1 asking which of your bank accounts you want your share paid into. If you don't get one,we haven't won.

Otherwise there's no point in us having elected for the "No Publicity" option

Especially should any of you happen to be in the midst of divorce proceedings !

The only address that we all know is Adrians, so all begging letters will be re-directed straight to him

Some laws of probability would suggest that having not won this time we have a greater chance of winning next time.

Of course some other probability laws would suggest that it makes no difference.

yeah but a few people know our real names, so I'd prefer it not mentioned, if the misses finds out I've won a million i'll be gutted

Mrs Spiny would get suspicious as soon as I stopped taking value fish paste sandwiches to work.

Work................................................

As we don't want anyone to know if we win, Spiny should continue taking his cheap sandwiches to work. What he does subsequently, after having given away his sandwiches to some deserving individual, is up to him. None of us will tell Mrs Spiny what he gets up to.

Clever thinking Striker. I also think that Mad Dog should spend another 10 years with his wife and I should let Mrs Pa continue driving Taxi's at night and working in the Laundry through the day so as not to arouse to much suspicion.

However I don't think anyone would become all that suspicious if I bought myself a new BMW, a set of custom made Callaway's and took up membership of Wentworth and Sunningdale Golf Clubs, do you.

This thread is positively buzzing with excitement.

I'm going for a nervous shite and it maybe the last time I ever have to wipe my arse with standard 2ply tissue.

Let the good times roll!

Think about it Hotpot, swaggering into the Supermarket and picking up .... ONE DOZEN ROLLS OF 3 PLY !! The buzz you would get at the till would be fantastic, and as you walk out to the car park everyone's eyes would be on you thinking "jammy bustard must have won the Lottery"

Estimated jackpot for Fri 23 Dec 2011 is:

£25,000,000

I've already rehearsed my speech.

Walks in from the pub

"put yer coat on love, I've won the lottery"

"Oooooh. where are you taking me?"

"Nowhere, put yer coat on and fack off"

Do you have a special speech prepared for wins under thrity quid?

Looks like to win anything significant you need the 5 main numbers with 4+2 giving the only other fair amount.Rollover or not these numbers are significant so targeting a rollover isn't the be all and end all unless you think you're going to get all 7.Looking at past results the odds are slim but I guess an odds reducing system could be deduced though whether it'd reduce the odds enough is the thing.When you consider in just 10 numbers there are 252 combinations of 5.Plus as there are 50 numbers that's 2118760 combinations.I guess that's why they call it a lottery.

You would need to purchase 491 tickets to guarantee a three number match from the first 5 balls drawn in the EuroMillions. That's £982 spent to win back under £10 - you may get more matches if you were lucky but the system only guarantee's one.

For those with an interest in lottery systems that guarantee matches from the lottery draws, this site lists the lowest "coverings" found to date. It'll soon put you off trying to find a system

Three numbers doesn't guarantee a tenner in the Euros, Friday night paid £7.10. Three plus one or two stars should pay more than £10 but then you're relying on lady luck!
