Euro Millions, Tuesday 10th May Draw

Did a no budget spec at lunch - the range of prices of between certain components now compared to the past seem all over the place. The CPU was only around £250 (i7 SB) and 12Gb of RAM around £150. Yet the 30" Dell monitor surpassed £1k and 6 hard drives came to about £1.5k.

How many of you are playing lucky dips?

1 LD, 1 friend powered random set of numbers and one by an actual random number generator.
 
Anyone Dare post there numbers on there Ticket?

Go on I double dare you

one of my lines are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and lucky stars 10 & 11

Just as much chance as any others....LOL
 
With my winnings should I buy one awesome prostitute to take care of me for the rest of my life or should I buy 850,000 cheap prostitutes to screw me to death?

Nice. Shame that hundreds or even thousands of people will have had the same idea, spreading your potential jackpot pretty thin!

the best way to maximise your potential winnings (without affecting your chances at all) is to take completely random numbers (using a generator, preferably a real RNG), while making sure that around 2/5ths of those numbers are over 31. This pushes you out of the crowd that only use birthdays as numbers and ensures that your numbers are actually random (as opposed to "randomly" picking them yourself)

Prostitutes, Why pay for women when plenty will be throwing themselves at you just for a drink, ok there only after the money, but as long as you keep that in the back of your mind when ya "Visting Grandma" over and over and over again - No Commitment

My god haven't we thought a little too much about number picking.... ok I'll take a nice slap off you if you win of course lol
 
He has a point. I bet there are loads of people choosing 1,2,3,4,5 etc - the *best* way is to come up with truly random numbers. Surely trying to pick a less popular combination is a better method?

I don't see any reason to not choose a LD. Choosing numbers based on families birthdates is retarded.
 
If you win the jackpot tonight how much money will you give away (assuming you'll give any)?


I think I'd give £20m to my parents, £20m to each of my brothers and keep £20m for myself. The remaining £5m I'd like to divide amongst friends and colleagues but I think I'd be worried that some undesirable types might find out about my new wealth and try to obtain it by extortion.

At least £10m of my £20m would be invested somewhere nice and safe. I'd live off the rest but keep working at my current job. I'd probably buy a car (and learn how to drive), a flat, and take a few foreign holidays a year.
 
I would only tell my parents and sister.

I wouldn't even tell my mates, just make up some story about inventing something and selling the patent.
