Lotto Euro Millions

[Teh_Gerbil]

For the first time ever, I am buying a ticket! I just GOT to be in with a chance of that much cash. Lucky Dip time!

Ah, if I won, what would I do?

Donate some to here!
Buy a Capri 1.6! Woo.
Buy a Polikarpov I-16 :D
Buy some more stuff for my PC.
Give some to my parents.
Buy a Flat.
Live off the rest forever. Woo!

Oh, and I would finish this year at college... regardless... might as well! And set up my own Ebay business, woo.

So what would YOU do?

[Jazza]

Buy myself everything I wanted

Cars (audi, Ferrari, Limo :D)
a big posh house somewhere
Give money to family
Donate to a few charities and set up my own charity for cancer research
I'd also buy a kennel and learn to play the piano

[bluewisdom]

I'd travel the world
Buy a villa somewhere in Italy or France (or both!)
Donate some to charities and research
Set up my own charity to raise awareness about children's issues.
Give some to family and friends

[Mist]

I'd buy a great big turnip in the country.

[Schnap me Baby]

Got myself a ticket too although 100 million is a bit much, you would never need that much money

[LuckyStrike]

fast cars, women, booze and drugs...more than likely.

it'd be a slippery slope, but an enjoyable one

[Little_one]

Pay of student loan
buy a house
pay off parents mortgage and boyfriend's parents
give some to my brother and boyfriend's brother
buy a car and driving lessons
get married
buy my nan a nice bungalow and boyfriend's nan and grandad
give some money to my other grandparents
donate some to various charities

[Mist]

I'd be quite happy with 100 million. I'm sure I could find some use.

[NinjaMaster]

I heard this morning that this is the last time the rollover is going to get this big. After this jackpot has been won they are capping the rollover to three times. How the hell does that work? Surely the only winner with that is Camelot? Once the jackpot gets to 25million euros what happens to all the cash that is spent on tickets once the limit has been reached? Does it go straight into camelots pocket or straight into the charity fund?

Saying that it ain't going to stop me buying a couple of lucky dips. And what would I do with 100million?

I think the question is what COULDN'T you do with 100mill ;)

[Mist]

it's meant to go straight to charity, such as what would happen if this one wasn't won. I don't get why though.

[VinylVicky]

The first thing I'd buy is a one way ticket around the world! leave money for friends and family and id be off for 2 years. then id come back and party for another year. Then I'd be bored and look at starting up a business.
I've got 3 tickets!

[NinjaMaster]

it's meant to go straight to charity, such as what would happen if this one wasn't won. I don't get why though.

I don't understand either. I mean it's not really worth buying a ticket for a triple rollover of only £25mill is it? :p

[NinjaMaster]

Also ninja have you found any info on the net?

Having a look just now. Can't see anything. Heard it on the BBC news last night and this morning. I'll keep looking.

[Mist]

I don't understand either. I mean it's not really worth buying a ticket for a triple rollover of only £25mill is it? :p

Not really no ;)

I don't understand the capping. Chances are that, as the jackpot increases, you will have more than 1 winner anyway, so it's not like one person would get a sublimely massive prize. And, even if they did, why shouldn't they get a massive prize more massive than the week before?

[Deep Fathom]

Careful with conspicuous consumption - you will become the celebrity stereotype. :rolleyes:

I would be carefeful with the money.

Save some.
Spend some.
Spend some more.
Spend it all.

[Crystal Tipps]

http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/information.do?info=euromillions - info on what happens to EuroMillions from the 10th Feb if it's not won before.

[ShyBoy]

I'd pay my economics teacher £50,000 first of all to get on his knees and worship me and apologise for bitching about me all the time.

First Id buy my mum a new house, somewhere nice and warm. I think she'd get on well in France actually, but wherever. I wouldnt let anyone really know that Id won it, because my sister would ruin my life by heckling me for money: "If I won the lottery Id give you £10,000,000 straight away! :(".

I might then leave school, and take some time out to do some things I want to do. It might be interesting one day to do a mathematics degre though. I think Id probably buy some stocks in google, so that I could live off the dividends when Im bankrupt. I dunno. I actually think I wouldnt know what to do with that amount of money.

[snapping_crocodile]

I cant even comprehend winning £100,000, let alone £100 million... :chin:

I wouldn't have a clue what to do :crazyeyes

[Mist]

When I win I might give some to the people who are nice to me ;)

[Nikki*]

The boyfriend bought a ticket last week. Every morning he's woke up and told me what he's dreamt he's going to buy next. :rolleyes: Apparently I get a pink car and a flat off him, along with anything else I want. Suits me.

[ShyBoy]

I might try and bribe the government so that all schools and workplaces start at 10.00am instead of 9.00. Extra hour in bed ;)

[manickev]

The chances of me winning it are extremely small.





I haven't bought a ticket!!!!!!


Might just have a dabble tonight though.

[ShyBoy]

I've just bought 2 lines and I'm not sure why :(. The chances are stupidly small. But then again, someones got to win.

[briggi]

When I win

Positive thinking, I like it! :thumb:

[Teh_Gerbil]

When I win I might give some to the people who are nice to me ;)
I :heart: you!
When you win, you owe me money, k?

[Against The Tide]

I've just bought 2 lines and I'm not sure why :(. The chances are stupidly small. But then again, someones got to win.

It had better be you so you can buy your way into government and make chav hunting legal.

Plus I'd like a bigger occult book collection :)

[Yerascrote]

I read that the odds are 76,000,000-1 of winning. Fat chance! Apparently the biggest odds bookmakers give out for a bet is 20,000,000-1. Something like Elvis Presley riding into town on Shergar to play Lord Lucan at the final of Wimbeldon. Might put a few quid on that on? :chin:

I wouldn't want that amount of money but if I did.

I'd burn 1 million, just to see what it looks like.
I'd give a shit load to charities
Loads of women
Loads of drink n drugs
Big house
Car

The usual millionaire lifestyle shit.

[Against The Tide]

Id like to give everyone in the UK a quid....

[Deep Fathom]

Hey, winning the lottery is good for two things:

1) The money.

2) You will find out who your real friends are.

[Ilora-Danon]

I'm buying a ticket for tnites draw. If I win, I shall:

Make sure everyone I love is extremely comfortable money-wise.
I'd buy myself a renovated church/manor, I'd have my entire wardrobe tailor made by Vivienne Westwood or Alexander McQueen, I'd buy several cars - generally have the usual millionnaire lifestyle...
I'd also like to set up in business, do something I really loved - probably stay at college and finish a degree just for the hell of it.

Ilora x

[minimi38]

If i won i'd

build a small castle,
dig a moat round it,
not let anyone in.

That so sounds like my dad, he has a thing about just hiding away in his study for hours on end and no one dares enter.

[Cazzoo]

Since i turned 16 last week i decided to exercise my rights and bought my first lottery ticket too the other day :D

I'd buy my own house somewhere for the future and a bigger, nicer one for my family and pay off my parents mortgage. Use some of it to pay for Uni. Donate some. Spend some. Save what i had left i guess.

[Yerascrote]

You actually waited till you were 16?

Our local shop sold us them when we were 11 and 12 and all.

[Cazzoo]

I didn't wait.. just never had any desire to buy one.. Then i wanted to, just because i could.. :p

[Lolzabeth]

We were talking about this at work this morning.
I would...

See how quickly I could spend £1mil.
Pay off mine and my brother's mortgage/debts.
Pay off my parents and my boyfriend's mam's debts.
Buy me and my boyfriend, my brother and his girlfriend, my mam and da and my boyfriend's mam houses.
Give my dad £166,000 as he keeps saying thats what I owe him for bringing me up :p
Take all my friends on holiday to Hawaii.
Buy the biggest TV I can find to play Blue Shadow on the NES.
Donate a shitload to charity.
Save a load and live off the interest for the rest of my life.


...and play a game:

Each person gets £20,000 and they have 2 hours(?) to spend as much as they can. The person with the least amount of money left at the end of the 2 hours wins the game. Everybody gets to keep their stuff and remaining money and the winner gets another £20,000 :yes:

We get bored at work...

[Little_one]

Well, I'm still a poor student.

Numbers are:

9, 15, 21, 40, 49

1st star 1
2nd Star 4

[Lolzabeth]

I got one number and a star. Damn! :(

[Acrobat]

I got nothing at all.

[Teh_Gerbil]

I got the first star on one ticket.

I remember why I don't do this shit... but... so muchm oney, I was tempted. Fucking gambling.

I'd just buy £20,000 worth of stocks :p.

[Lolzabeth]

I'd just buy £20,000 worth of stocks :p.

Thats not allowed!
Highstreet shops within a certain distance, limit on how much you can spend on one item and you have to have stuff to show for the money so no going to the pub and drinking it all :p
Those be the rules cause I made up the game heheh!

Doesn't matter anyway cause I don't have £100 let alone £100mil :(

[Kentish]

I'd just buy £20,000 worth of socks :p.
Takes all sorts.

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

You can't afford me :p

[stargalaxy]

You can't afford me :p I don't need money to get you. ;)

[Kentish]

You can't afford me :p
What would £105m get?

[Simba T Lion]

I bought a lottery ticket once. I didn't wint :(

[littlemissy]

No-one won.

[Jazza]

Wouldn't tax be a big problem for anyone winning that amount of money?

[Yerascrote]

Tax-free to the best of my knowledge.

[Panthro]

Aye it is tax-free and the jackpot is up to £125 MILLION!!!

I have already bought 4 lucky dips for it..

[purplebutterfly]

Wouldn't tax be a big problem for anyone winning that amount of money?

All gamblings winning are tax-free in this country. Because there is no way that the goverment could enforce it, (as I learnt at college this week).

I would:
Donate loads to charity.
Buy my parents, myself and my brother places to live.
Pay off my brothers (student loan and other) debts and best friends debts (overdrafts, loans, mortgages EVERYTHING) (He means that much to me :blush: )
Invest in property (LOTS of property)
Give the charity that runs this place enough to run for a couple of years with no problems/debts.
Buy a pub
Lots of travelling

[Panthro]

Isnt it nice to see so many people giving to charity.

I would probably do the usual, see family and friends alright, buy a few cars and a house, keep some for the future and give most of it away to charities.

[icey]

hmmm....

Ferrari enzo
mansion avec ski slope and heated outdoor pool
nightclub
stuff for family & friends
spending spree
invest! invest! invest!

[Guest_]

Get out of this fucking shithole (UK).

[Knee High Stripy Socks]

Buy Nottingham Sprint Lake for the personal use of Banbury and District Canoe Club!

And probably a new pair of shoes.

[Welsh Jemz]

i'd pay off all my debts
give my parents half so they could look after my brothers :)
buy a pub (i've always wanted to run one)

dunno what i'd do with the rest, lol

[rachie004]

When I win next week.... I'm going to buy mytravel :D

or at least just G-PIDS so I have something to play with :p

[lucifer devil]

umm..

buy both sets of parents a new house/pay off mortgage. and same for sister/brother in law and nephew. and also give them some money.

myself.. get myself through uni (very comfortably!), buy a new car, go on a mega shopping spree.

give money to charity..etc etc bla bla.

not gonna happen anyway 'cause i don't have a ticket. :p

[Disillusioned]

I think there’s a limit to the amount of times that it can roll over because someone would be able to make a profit by purchasing every single possible combination to get the jackpot prize.

Anyway if I win this Friday I’d buy a couple of houses; one in a smart bit of London, Kensington or somewhere. Then one in the country. A few flash cars and a retro classic American Cadillac that consumes far too much petrol. Then I’d buy a few businesses for something to do so I wouldn’t be just sat around all day. I’d make sure close friends and family are properly sorted, leave a fair bit aside as well to satisfy distant relatives and others asking for money. Then I’d give generously to a few particular charities; main two being Oxfam and Toybox charity, although not a Christian and the latter is a Christian charity they do really good work. Oh and I’d remember TheSite too, deffo a good youth charity.

[Jarvey Of Suburbia]

Can I work in your pub? I've allways wanted to work in a public house.

[mystifymysoul]

Hmm, I've often thought about what I'd do if I ever won the lotto...not likely seeing as I rarely play, but oh well.

I would:

Pay off my parents mortgage, buy them a new house and a holiday villa somewhere.
Give money to my family.
Take all my mates on holiday and a HUGE spending spree.
Get myself a car.
Not need to worry about student loan etc.
Put money in a trust fund for my bro and sis so that when they are older they will have £££.
Give some to charity, probably cancer research er, samaritans etc.
Plus buy lots of other stuff and save lots.

[Mist]

The reason that this doesn't happen is because there are so many different combinations, and you can't be certain of being the only winner.

[littlemissy]

:yes:

But you pay tax on the interest. And you would get shit loads of interest.

If I won I would make all my family multi-millionaires, give lots of money to charity, buy a really swish house and then go abroad for a little bit. Get the initial thrill out of the system.

I would also carry on with my studying because I think that although I would have so much money I would get bored and really enjoy what I am doing.

The boy wants to go into property developing too.

[ShyBoy]

Takes all sorts.

Well then I'd get the extra £20k (ala brewsters millions) and the stocks I could sell to get the money back! Then I could spend £40k at my leisure.

[Kimono]

The Times says odds are as follows:

Drown in the bath: 10,582 to 1

Become a saint: 20,000 to 1

Be killed by lightning: 56,439 to 1

Be eaten by a great white shark: 3,700,000 to 1

Win the Euromillions Jackpot: 76,000,000 to 1


I guess I'd rather risk £1.50 on the lottery than dipping my foot into an enormous aquarium full of great white sharks, mind.

There's statistics, and then there's statistics. Mind you everyone, there are ways to win jackpots for free, with much better odds than the national lottery. The lottery is effectively a tax - the mjaority of the money goes to charity and/or administration costs, and an amount is given out.

http://www.mersenne.org/prime.htm

- All you need is a computer, the odds are a lot better than the lottery, too. "Your chance of success is roughly 1 in 250,000". Obviously, the more powerful your PC, the more prime numbers it can test, so your chance of winning goes up.

[Panthro]

Anyone win anything?

Three winners shared the jackpot - none from Britain.

I had a number and a lucky star...

[Shogun]

I won nothing, was 1 number off £7.40.

[Lolzabeth]

I had 1 star...that's it...

[My_Poor_Brain]

3 numbers and 1 star for me.

[Kimono]

Won £7.40 for 3rd week in a row! Not the most fabulous winning streak in history but at least it buys me a bottle of vino for tonight :D

Your avatar fucking rocks mate :D :thumb:

[Skive]

I got 3 normal numbers and 1 lucky star number. What do I win?

[Kimono]

Your avatar fucking rocks mate :D :thumb:

why thank you :D

I just went to collect my grand winnings and apparently my 1 number and 2 lucky stars got me £8.90!

Skive, according to the back of the ticket (the one you write the numbers on, not the receipt thing) you've won about £20. Not bad at all!

[Panthro]

I got 3 normal numbers and 1 lucky star number. What do I win?

£21.80 :thumb:

[Skive]

£21.80 :thumb:

Cheers. Bastard thing is that I'm part of a syndicate. Shared between 20 still leaves me down 48p. :(

[Panthro]

Who has the ticket and do they know the numbers....

If you catch my drift....

[Skive]

Who has the ticket and do they know the numbers....

If you catch my drift....

Yeah eveybody has photocopies. :(

[Panthro]

Put the money on another draw then, surely you won't get the syndicate battering down your door for 48p?

[Skive]

Put the money on another draw then

That's what will happen.

[ruby_soho]

I won £7 woo ;D

well better than nothing i say :p i've not won anything for about 7 months so was starting to think i'd lost my luck.

[rachie004]

do I get anything for having a lucky star?

out of three lines I match 1 chuffing number :grump: :yeees:

[ruby_soho]

Fraid not chikadee.

http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/results/prizes/prizeAction.do

I was shocked when i found out i had actually won something, theres more combinations than the national lottery so i suppose you have more of a chance, but then the tickets are more expensive to start off with.

[Makoto]

I gamble quite a lot but I wouldn't do the EuroMillions because you have a very slim chance of winning it.

[littlemissy]

I won £7 woo ;D

well better than nothing i say :p i've not won anything for about 7 months so was starting to think i'd lost my luck.

Pass the luck to me, please.

I haven't won anything since I started playing years ago. If I had just saved a pound each week then I would be far better off :yeees:

[ruby_soho]

Okeee *sends good luck vibes* If you want to be lucky, i won 3 grand last year on wednesday the 23rd, this year it's wednesday the 22nd i think sooo what you have to do is go get a lucky dip ticket from Tesco, forget about it and then remember to check it at night after desperate houswewives, et voila and see if that works, ;D
