Nope - I lived in South Africa, where we'd recently elected our first black president (Nellie baby), and I'd recently moved in with my girlfriend. Life was our lottery...

No.

I wasn’t 16 so I couldn’t buy one.

I remember it well though, watched it with my nan and I was wearing my Global hyper colour Tshirt.

My grandad bought me and my siblings a ticket each, and did so for years. All 3 siblings won 10 squids every now and then and I never won anything

I was 21. Me and my bestie/flatmate went to the local shop to buy one. It actually felt like a "coming of age" moment.

So that makes you 124 now and can't remember buying a ticket when you were a mere 94?

I’m less popular than Raven and not just because I don’t have a vagina. It’s because of jealousy babe.

I was 20 years old. I was at uni, and me and my housemate bought tickets. We watched the first draw before going out on the Saturday night and took it all very seriously because if we won it would have a huge impact, not all of which would be positive.

Then after a week or two the novelty wore off and we realised we weren't going to win and got on with our lives.
