Euromillions

It's insane, I was just trying to think what to do if I won... I genuinely wouldn't be able to spend that money!

Will it though, in today's world? You would buy a nice house and a nice car mortgage/finance free. You will still have to work for the rest of your life.

I'm spending £14 on lucky dips. All of the loose change in my wallet.

This must be one of the highest jackpot's they have had? I can only think of the £160,000,000 being the next big one.

I don't see any reason to put more than £2 on the draw. Paying extra doesn't really raise your chances of winning by any significant amount.

I occasionally play euromillions not because I think I'll win but purely to make the fantasy feel a bit more real.

Depends how you look at it.

getting 5 lines gives you 5x better chance of winning than 1 line.

The odds are still huge.

Not needing to worry about a house/car + other big things and just living expenses is pretty stress free tbh. If it were me though i'd live the same as I do now, just purchase a 400k house for myself, another 400k house for rent income. A 25k car, and leave the rest for a rainy day. I could then cut down on work a bit have more time and a better quality of living

You still have to match the numbers on one line only.

The odds are the same per line, but if you have 5 lines, then your overall odds of winning the jackpot are 5/116m instead of 1/116m. Much better! If still incredibly remote.

This!

I've stopped playing the normal lottery on general principal since they literally halved my chance of winning by making it £2 a pop!

I know the old argument of "well you now get £25 for 3 numbers rather than £10!" - but seriously, I don't play the lottery to win £25 and since they haven't doubled the jackpot then no, you aren't having my money!

Just have the odd go on the Euromillions now so when I win tomorrow you won't see me for dust! :p

If i'm careful i can retire in my late early 50's and be done with it. Being mortgage free is a huge deal,
