::) Well one of the theories is that you have more chance of being hit by a meteorite than winning the lottery, how many peeps do you know that have had that experience? ??? ::)

With a 54million pound jackpot even more peeps will part with their hard earned cash which will up the stakes even more, so you will probs have more chance of shaking Elvis Presley's hand than winning the lottery ;D

P.S. Who's Eric? is it Ernie's pal ??? ;D

It always amazes me how many more people buy a ticket when it's a rollover week. As if winning between 2-4 million wouldn't be enough, they only want to play it with a chance of winning double or triple that >:(

I play my lottery online. I do five weeks at a time and I get emailed if I win. So far only had one email, LOL!

I'd see my family right, build a children's home with staff to run it then b**ger off to Canada with my husband and son ;D

Someone has to win and one day that someone could be me :)

I would love to be able to pay off my elder sons student loan, and to buy son no2 a good work van. Barrie and I would have a camper van and travel. :) :)

Yes I was wondering how Eric had crept in there????????
Oh what a worry that would be to have all that powerful money. I work in a fairly lowly job. This week have had a few people look down their little noses at me it would be worth winning just to see that change in their attitude. Not that they worry me folks cos you just have to feel sorry for folk like that.
I don't know who I would tell but am sure I would have to blurb to some one. Don't think I would admit to a huge win. Just make out I had won enough to treat a few people and may be give a lot away to good causes. How much would you miss the lottie doing solitary gardening, how would I know when to do anything without our Triple By Pass John giving needy advice. Etc. All that social life from work.

Save your money, I have just got a ticket. This is really my lucky day. Just think I will be able to be a full time alcoholic.

I never buy lottery tickets. I'm the saddo with the premium bonds :-[ Pete lives dangerously with the lottery. ;)

If he won I'd retire and then do some thinking about how to use all that money. Probably start with helping the kids ditch their uni debt. Invest enough so we could be comfortable then think about how we could make a difference in the Third World. Plant a forest? Clean water? The possibilities are endless...

Heard on the radio on the way home tonight, that you should buy your ticket after 6 30, because if you buy it before then, you have more chance of being killed than winning! Great odds huh?

saddad · « **Reply #31 on:** November 10, 2006, 19:12:48 »

Still havenot bought a ticket... so with all the years they have been running I must be quids in by now!
::)

cambourne7 · « **Reply #32 on:** November 10, 2006, 19:34:48 »

i think thats a lot of money, possibly to much.

saddad · « **Reply #33 on:** November 10, 2006, 22:17:36 »

It is the love of money, not the money itself, which is the root of all evil. You can't have too much cash if you have the heart to give it to a good cause.
But I still won't be buying a ticket.

cambourne7 · « **Reply #34 on:** November 11, 2006, 00:01:45 »

thats it, the euro lottery cant roll over again!

if it was £1m

quit work, keep quiet, buy a house in our current town with lots of rooms, good location, big garden.
Hire a manager/marketeer for the deli and go on holiday for a few months.
invest very, very wisely.

if it was £135m
walk out of work and tell them my solicitor's are bigger than theirs so s*d off.
go on holiday world travelling for about 3 years.
Option A: give up the allotment, buy a big house with an even bigger garden, have a massive, old-fashioned victorian greenhouse, a walled garden and hire a gardener to teach me!
Option B: keep the allotment, build an architecturally astute house within the boundaries of our current town with a dining table to fit 20 with ease (we hold big dinner parties and have to roate friends at the moment!) so most of the living space will probably be dining room.
dish out some to rellies, some friends, charities.
invest the majority and try to live off the interest only once all expenditures have been met.
We'd also have a jolly good, drug-laden try at having children!

If that was successful, they would get through your £135m fortune in no time.....! ;D

If I did win..unlikely as I don't play but... I would cash the cheque then push it as far as I could at work, as nobody has ever been sacked I would like to see what I could get away with! I would start gently working up and up!!
Sad that I think these things!
Of course I would also make sure family were looked after and then I would by a nice small holding and "live the dream"

Regards
