I don't do the lottery often, and I don't rush to check the ticket.
I've juat come across a ticket that I bought weeks ago and it struck me that...I could have won and wasted 2 weeks working, because I hadn't checked the ticket!
Do you do the lottery?
If so....how quickly do you check your ticket?
For those that do do it...good luck  |

On the rare occasion that I have bought a ticket, Annabelle, I've been convinced that I would win. Then followed the crushing negativity of not even matching 1 number. It's just too much to bear  |

I'm the same, most times not even 1 number. At the realisation I better get my arse into work |

P.s. I never check them though as they email if you win or it appears in the app too. |

"Do mine online so I get an email, only had a few and the utter disappointment when it’s £2.50. "
Ahh I can imagine getting that notification and then the disappointment!
I can't remember when I last won any amount |

I rarely play OP but when I do it’s online and it’s murder waiting for that email to say I’ve won. I using give it a few days and check the spam folder too |

Mrs Tyne does the lottery and Mr Tyne matches the amount by putting it in a little jar. We use the money in the jar to buy things for the house such as paintings etc. We have had far more money saved in the jar than we have ever won on the lottery. |

I had a go on the first ever National Lottery many moons ago, I wrote out 5 lines. There where about 20 of us in the pub when the draw was made. I jumped for joy when I realised that I had won £10, so I went to the shop to collect my winnings, and the shopkeeper gave me £20, I didn't realise that I had actually won on 2 lines |

I can imagine that...but, it just takes the 1 won big win and it's a life changer! |

Many moons ago that eh!
And, £20 would've gone a lot further than now |

Agreed but it is unlikely to happen so we don't tend to even think about it. Mrs Tyne checks the tickets roughly once a month when she remembers. |

Any less than £1M wouldn’t see you for life now a days but I wouldn’t cough at that"
Bloody hell DC, you've got expensive tastes!

Yes..that's the thing, it is unlikely but you've got to be in it to win it.
I hardly play and even then I only ever do a line |

I hope you mean only do a line on the lottery and not roll your ticket up and do that kind of line  |

I gave up doing it online
The notification of a win would ping in about 1am
You can’t log into your account until about 6am though cos they update the site overnight
By that time, I'd laid awake spending millions on houses, cars and flights by private jet
In reality, I'd won £3.20 or a free lucky dip  |

Of course £1M would see you through, just invest it in property and rent it out, all dependant on how decadent a lifestyle you wish to live I suppose. |

Highest win for me 4 numbers £69. I don’t play regularly, just Euro Millions when it’s a big number now |

It changes a lot depending how many people had those numbers and shared the winnings. One week people got £15 for 5 numbers which was less than for 3 numbers as that is a guaranteed £25. |

I deliberately don’t check mine for a couple of days.. it prolongs the fantasy of imagining what I would do with all the money… before the usual back to reality disappointment of winning nada.. |

That's more like, but even then it's not a lot for 5 numbers...considering the odds! |

C"
That is rough! So, so close, and only winning £80! That's tough to take. |

I do the twice a week lotto, I check our ticket usually the day after, so I could place our super yacht order ASAP with there being a bit of a delay in obtaining parts these days |

£28 a week for many year's, still get a little buzz when i wake up to an email telling me I've won a prize, even though i know its only going to be a couple of quid, most I've ever won is £120 and that was on a roll down!
like all gambling house always wins!
when my daughter was in her late teens she and her mates started buying scratch cards, told them its a con and to prove it went to the shop brought £150 of the same card and told them to scratch them off, i get my money back and they keep whatever is left, suffice to say they didn't make themselves a penny, and she's never brought one since!
but then I've watched a young Labourer at work win £250,000 on a scratch card, he'd only ever brought 5 cards, and never played the actual lottery! he still stayed and finished his day's work |

28 quid is a lot! How great for the labourer..fair play to him.
I glad that your point was proven to your daughter. |

i never told her about the lad winning on one, £28 a week does add up, but I'm single kids are are grown up and have little more spare nowadays, and I'm still convinced I'm going to wake up a millionaire one morning, the human brain is a funny old thing.
have yourself a good Sunday. |
