Have you ever won anything substantial on the vanilla National Lottery?

If i won, i would buy a house. then make a fund for all bills and shopping. then just go on holidays and stuff with the rest.

people say you need like 6mill to live well for life.. but i reckon with interest rates 2million lumper would get you sorted

I find it amusing when people claim you couldn't live on 2 million for life ... assuming my current salary my gross income before I retire would be less than that and the 2 million would also give you an income from interest that having the money trickling in month by month wouldn't. It depends on whether you are going to live a "normal" life or a "millionaires lifestyle" ... to be honest I'd probably do the former with just less work so would get by on less :)

I would quit my job for 2 million, .... **** I'd probably quit it for 500k as that would give me enough to live on and learn something more interesting to do over a couple of years.
 
If you earned 20k salary for 45 years then that's only 774,000 after tax, so you wouldn't even need 1million for life considering the current 7.2% interest rates would offset inflation.

Not in things like horse racing. It's just a guessed figure. Only things like lottery and scratch cards are actual odds.

Very educated guess based on statistics, among other things.

If you backed 'heads' 100 times on 100 tosses of a coin, you'd expect to break even.

If you backed Hull City 100 times on 100 games of Chelsea vs Hull..... :p
 
I've had a fair few £10 wins and have had four numbers 3 times now, the amount gets lower each time too, last time it was £18 :(

Somebody I know won the jackpot a few years back though.
 
I won £20 today but me and my mate spend £20 a month on 5 sets a numbers a week so we are squits for this month.
Usually we win a tenner a month which means we give £130 to charidee every year.
