Anyone else log in as fast as humanely possible when they get these emails? I was at a clay shoot, and made my excuses so I could go check on the phone!

(Only to be hideously disappointed, of course)

Reardless of how much you win, you get the same automated email.

So what are you going to spend your tenner on?

 

[mrbios]

the worst is when you win £2, you think to yourself "yay £10" then realise you've been tottally shafted

£14.40 it was, although I did spend a tenner on tickets. So it's still a win!

Ouch!
Hardly a win.
Think of all the tickets you have previously brought, then ask yourself if its still a win

[philjohn]

We got a shade over £75 when on out summer hols last year, transferred it straight back to the debit card and went out and treated ourself to a nice meal.

I spend about £40 a month on tickets (online) although I did spend £20 just for the Euromillions on Friday seeing as it was a large jackpot, will be doing the same this week as it's 113 million.

No, just for the big Euromillions draw! I just do a single line every wednesday and saturday. The same numbers for 7 years. Because the week I decide to save my £104 a year, they'll come up

why? Given the impact on your chances you may as well just get one ticket. Enjoy your tax.

I have won just over £4k on the online Lottery website! Got the same email and thought ok have I won the jackpot? Was a nice suprise, and made my week.

i cant even get 2 numbers anymore, it was easier in the first few years of the lotto, less people put it on then.

How does the number of people playing have any bearing on how easier the game is let alone have an influence on the numbers? I don’t understand what you wrote.
