you may not win on scratchcards but that line wins the internet for the day. well done that man.You need glasses. And computer lessons.
I appreciate that we've done the usual 'Who plays the Lottery!?' threads since time began, however I am curious as to who has won on the lottery instant wins.
To get the ball rolling (ho ho ho), I tend to play the Lottery Draws online (£2 per week), and use the winnings to play the Instant Win games in the future.
When I occasionally play the Instant Wins (like online scratchcards) they never quite seem to have the same odds as the physical scratchcards do?
My best Instant Win was £40.
The online Instant Wins always throw around big numbers such as £10,000 every month for a year, or amounts upwards of £1000 - £100,000, however i've never seen anyone win (through media sources) or noticed the Lottery Win news ticker (top left) declare anyone winning big prizes (£40+).
Does it happen? Have you known anyone win on these? Or is it just a big lie?
Play the occasional 25p / 50p instant win game if I've got some funds left over. Had some big wins on those, got £2 once!
Years ago I noticed the actual game doesn't mean anything, only the unique code for that game session. Being young and naive I thought I'd got a free game when I lost my connection while playing and when it reconnected the game started again with different symbols revealed. Doesn't matter how many times you close without clicking finish, when you go back it will always be a loser despite the different results.![]()

On Sat 1st Dec 2018 at 12.54 I purchased a "Merry Millions" instant win from the National Lottery website, attached, and in Game 2 I thought I had a winner with the star in the top left of the game showing a £5K win so I took a screen shot of it so I could show friends but on finishing the game it said that I was not a winner this time. I wrote to Camelot and they said the £5K prize was for a mince pie. Looking at the prize icon it seems to match the star in my screenshot for £5K don't you think? Have there been other complaints like this or am I just a one off?
