toyotasuprauk Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Not great but if you dont mind losing the £50 its all good fun, are you doing the euro lotto hasnt that got some silly prize amount at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Not sure tbh, i know the euro lotto is a bigger prize, but if its a bigger prize wouldnt everyone do the euro insted of the UK lotto??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN R Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 May as well spend the £50 on something, your odds are still terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think you have more chance of being hit by lightening than winning the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Standard lotto odds are 1:13,983,816. Quote from one site... It is hard to appreciate how small this figure is: for example, the chance of death within one year for a middle-aged healthy man might be one in 1,000. If so, the chance he dies within the next week is one in 52,000; within the next day about one in 365,000, within the next hour about one in nine million - still bigger than the chance of a jackpot share. Indeed, on these figures, he is about as likely to win a jackpot share with one ticket as he is to die in the next 40 minutes. But then someone has to win.... Hope you pick lucky numbers and let us all have a spin in your Lambo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 70 million is a huge jackpot that has to be a UK record? That’s the thing with the lottery despite the odds being so low someone has to win so it’s still tempting to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 i was in my local shop once and the guy in front of me bought £100 worth of scratch cards.... mad! This doesn't make sense to me - the biggest you can win from a scratch card is 100,000 IIRC? Might as well play the proper Lotto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
