Does anyone ever win anything?
For the last 3 weeks we have been getting 10 of the plus 5 a week
thats 10 lines * 6 days a week * 3 weeks = 180 lines
guess what we have won?
Not a sausage!
Think we are calling it a day.

Wow, that's over £3000 a year! Just think of the holiday that would have bought!
You might want to try the Irish lottery instead, I've heard there is a higher average of paying out and you get more for 3 numbers too

It's £20 a week,the plus 5 game, you pay £1 for the normal line then £1 for an extra 5 lines.
I'm T-total and only spend £6 a week on backy so have to do something naughty! lol |

I don't drink, smoke or do any drugs. Don't really spend much either so I do play lotto.
Hate it when people say you got no chance. For a start you got to be in it to win it. I bet all those who have won big never thought it would happen to them either.
My biggest is £66
Some people are just plain stupid with it, especially going public. I wouldn't at all, far too much hassle. Would still run my business but I know I wouldn't need to worry about money.
I got diagnosed with a long term illness and stress makes it worse and my biggest stress is not being able to afford my own place,etc. |

The first week it ever happened, I picked 5 (all individually chosen) lines & when I was in a euphoric state after having thought I'd won a tenner, the shopkeeper gave me £20. Apparently I'd won on 2 lines but hadn't bothered to check. 
Always have lucky dips now in case I forget to "Place My Bets Nah" as a certain Mr Winstone would say. |

I spend £7 a week: lotto plus 5 and Euro millions. I've won nearly every week this year.
Receiving the "good news about your ticket" email is exciting.
The most I've won this year is £25 the least £2.50 so the mansion, Bentley and Lear are all on hold. |

It depends how many winners there are. More winners more share the prize.
There can't be a minimum. They don't know how much they are going to take in.
It's just a glorified sweep. |

I've used the same numbers since it started. Won a tenner several times and prior to saturday 4 numbers had only ever come up the once. Also prior to saturday I'd probably not brought a ticket no more than 4 or 5 times ever. Can anyone guess where this story is going? |

Anyone on FAB that wins a considerable amount of money but doesn't want the stress of dealing with it - I know a perfectly good home for it in rainy Wiltshire! |
