REALLY, we've had the same numbers since the lottery was first started, other than two draws.

Got a tenner to come back from Saturday.

The highest amount we have won is £100 for four numbers.  The lowest we have had for four numbers is £33.

Its a lottery for heavens sake - you win some you lose some - mainly you lose some ;D ;D

We won £800 about 8 years ago. We had all of the numbers except 25, We had Tones birthday 26. It was a Wednesday draw so not so good. We only do it occaisionally now and its a lucky dip

Ishard, how fantastic!

I picked my numbers based on birthdates and ages at the the time I started to take part.  I think my husband and son's numbers were just randomly picked.

The most we've ever won is £26, LOL.  We play the Saturday lottery, a pound each for myself, my hubby and our son and if there's any left over (we usually do about five weeks at a time online) we use it up on either the Wednesday or the Euro but that's very rare.  

If we won a substantial amount it would go into the 'moving abroad' pot  ;D

When hubby checked the numbers I didnt believe him so had to check online.

We didnt waste it, we used the money to make money by buying houses and doing them up to rent or sell.

When it comes to us retiring we will live comfortably cos you cant rely on the governement pension schemes anymore.

Nice to hear of a winner Ishard!

I used to do the lottery as a syndicate at work, but only because I had nightmares at the thought of everyone winning a big un and me being left at work by my lonesome !!  ::)
The most we won was about £60 and we regularly got £10 wins, we used to bank the money and then use it for the Xmas bash ;D

Had five numbers here myself, but had to share it with 11 others in the syndicate. Put it into a flat only to be diddled out of it by the mad ex.... such is life.

OH and I got all six numbers one weekend.  As we have three lines, we had two per line. ??? ???

I know someone who was a jackpot winner.  He was in a syndicate, and the numbers came up.  There were 57 winners that draw, and he ended up with £15,000.  Not quite what you would have hoped for, but better than a kick up the waistcoat. ;D

In case you're reading Amie, that's a joke. Maybe.

£15,000 would do me fine (I don't mind sharing, would be so happy would wet my knickers. (Hope moderators are not on site).  I still buy an 'unlucky' dip every week, perhaps one day, dream on.
