What's the most you've won.never more than a tenner for me

Scratch card £100 Monopoly one.

Absolutely **** all but then again I've only done it about 5 times!

£140 twice.
I've got a mate who once got all 6 numbers and the bonus ball on 2 lines. He got £20

Somebody?

Yep. And that happened

I think the most I've ever won at anything is about £450, then again I don't really gamble that much. I only put the lottery or euro millions on after a crap week

Most I’ve won was £168 for 4 numbers, that was exceeded by my best man on my wedding night - all of a sudden drinks at the bar needed no cash for anyone as he noted he’d got 5 numbers and won £8500 - which was nice

£140 I think.

Although I’ve had a couple of gos at that £10k a month for 30 years lately.

20k about 3 years ago

Gambling is a mug’s game.

Most I’ve won is the odd £30 here and there.

Woman who lives opposite me won on a scratch card, and gets 40k per year for the rest of her life

We got the first 5 numbers out not long after it started and when jackpots were huge.

We got £181

10k

The wife won £44,000 ..................................she had spent it by the time we met.....B*****d

There was a great video of a family up Brunshaw who won the lottery...... young lad was going mental. Forgot how much they won..... must have been a lot, the young In was in tears and his dad was laughing his head off. Mum has gone out to the shops at the time.....

They don't call it the fools' tax for nothing

3 lots of £10 on the post code lottery.

Bet things got a lot hazier for most of the guests at that point! Sounds like a very generous chap

Leisure....More a question of are you lucky or not.rather than who won it ....theroyaldyche He read it on yellowbroad.so it must be true

I hope its the same lad I know, his dad had taped it and was winding him up.... must be 25 years ago

**** all. But I never do it. You do here a lot of winners saying they just put it on as a one off and bang!!! So when I fancy winning it, i’ll have a do.

You either win it or you dont

Thanks for the clarification

3 large for 5 numbers.

Gutted to have both the 6th number and the bonus on a 2nd line (altho it did win me a tenner on top). I thought what I won was extremely low but in fact it was more than any of the previous draws had been by about a grand.

The jackpot was over 3m and. The 5+1 was over £100k....

Nevermind, that 50 mil will be mine tonight

When did it go to £2 a draw? 6 years ago?

Think I’ve won (saved) £1,248 then

Though I never check the results, can still remember the numbers. I’d be sick.

Got 25 quid cheque about 6 times on premium bonds.Keep hoping for the big one

€25 is the best i have done , hey i keep trying

About 7 years ago I won £1,635 for 5 correct numbers but also had number 48 for my bonus ball and number 49 was drawn out.
The pay out for 5 correct numbers and bonus ball 49 was £148,000

Is 5 numbers not just £1750?
I know a guy who won that recently and he was fairly sure that is just the standard payout

The story.... Dad watches The Lottery Live and records it and buys a ticket with the 7 winning numbers after the show..calls son down to check the numbers..wife pretends to go shop as she couldnt contain herself....all being filmed by fatha the Lad couldnt believe it as he reeled all 6 numbers off!!! And pandemonium when he Got the Bonus ball as well. His Mutha walked back into her house on hearing her sons screams of joy.mum mum weve won weve won the Lottery!!!! Only for both Mutha and fatha to roll around the room P!ss!ng them selves Laughing..........and tell him theyd recorded it!!!!! He was only 8 or 9 he never did get over it. The videos out there somewhere.

It was only about 15 million!!

It's hilarious reading about it being a "fools tax" etc by someone so proud of himself that by saving a couple of quid a week not playing it that he has somehow "got one over" on life!

Honestly, how cheap/miserable/poor/boring do you have to be to not be able to chuck a few quid a week at it?

That's the one, whilst he's reeling off what he's going to buy

Even funnier when Jmc tells the story

Very very Funny video would have gone down well on you've been framed... 3 jmcs...my brother son and my nephew star of the vid!!

I win £25 quid every 4 weeks or so. Without fail.

How do I do that ...

I don't do the Lottery ...

I used to do 3 lines religeously (same numbers every week) as soon as they upped it to 59 numbers from 49 and £2 a line I said b*****ks to that and haven't done the lottery since so I save 6 quid a week

So in the past 6 (or so) years since they altered it I have saved £1800+ which is like having your 3 numbers come up every 3 weeks

Funnily enough the masochist in me looks at the lottery lines in the paper on a Sunday, and the best I would have done in the past 6 years is about 3 numbers four times and 4 numbers once.

OK maybe one day our numbers might come up but its 1 in 45,057,474* so am not holding out any fears

* When it was a £1 a line it was 1 in 14,000,000 with 49 balls

I give direct to local charities instead where I know 100% of my money goes to them and not 60% into the pockets of Camelot .....

May I draw your attention to post 35...

Well it was by Tarkysears who's posts I tend to gloss over Tim


Plus I don't call anyone for doing the lottery ... good luck to them.
I prefer to give my money to charity direct ....

I won £609.00 the other week for 4 numbers as it was a roll down week but as I hadn't put my glasses on I told my wife we had won £285000 which was the total prize fund for 4 numbers.

I was in the dog house shortly afterwards

Well, I had a 1 in 3 chance of getting cancer and a 1 in 16,000,000,000 chance of the rare form i had. With those odds, the lottery odds are pretty good, hence i keep going (and will win this week!)

£10 until tonight....

Someone I work with has a brother who won a million. Apparently he’s just wasting it and it will be worth zilch soon.

I’m looking forward to BOYSIE winning it and buying BFC.
