What's your weekly flutter?

You can buy a single line lotto ticket for £1, you can't buy a single cig, gotta buy a whole box - I have no idea how much a box costs as don't smoke but I do know that they are nowhere near £1! Same goes for drugs and booze.

Congrats @LeeUK. Just remember coke and hookers don't count as a hobby or part time job when people ask how you have been spending your time in a couple of ~~years~~ months.

Booze? So you can't buy a single pint/can/bottle anymore?

I don't know, I don't drink anything but tea and ginger beer

Thought I'll put it on again tonight, still got some cash in my lottery account to use up.

Weirdly enough I did wonder if you'd continue playing after your win. I guess this answers that then :cry:

Next time I go to the pub and they ask me to buy the whole 88 pint keg from the barrel store is the last time I go to a pub!

No ice cream vans near you??

Why go to an ice cream van when my fridge is full of ice cream??

Better than buying cigs/drugs/booze - A lot cheaper too

Well it's not better than buying heroin and hookers!

That’s the horrible thing a parent would always say to their kids!

You have misunderstood!

I'm on about me as an adult! Why waste precious time and burn calories going to the ice cream van to overpay for ice cream when I can stisfy my urges via a few steps into the kitchen!

As a kid, it is a right of passage to run to the ice cream van, and when I have kids they will run to it too assuming the world is not nuked by Putin/Kim Jog Un by then that is

@LeeUK is it tax free?

All lottery winnings are tax free! In fact, winnings from all forms of gambling are.

What happens if you don’t have a freezer or a fridge?

What happens if you are at work and an ice cream van pulls up?

I work form home (apart from once a month when on the naval base) so ice cream is always to hand
