One pound a week as part of a syndicate.

Never had more than 4 numbers in one line since the lottery began.

£4 a week 2 x 2 lines won 1311 a couple of weeks ago for 5 numbers £66 for 4 a couple of weeks before that
previously had 1850 for 5 numbers as well about 5 year ago so still in advance in terms of cost to winnings
mind i wouldnt mind that extra number either the straight 6 or the bonus :grin:

it's just a tax, and a very expensive one - not worth the bother in my opinion......

The odds of winning are 14 million to one yet if you win you rarely get 14 million quid.......

And the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, so on that form, we're more or less knacked :grin:

Thats the cliché about the lottery, everyone who doesn't play says exactly the same thing. I reckon some people even say they don't play just so they can say its stupid people tax.
I pay £2 a week for lottery(just over £100 a year), I know the chances are ridiculous but I couldn't care less, every bet you put on or investment you make is a gamble just the same. I invest a fair whack and am looking to buy property as investment too but I'll still put the lottery on because if the week I stopped my numbers come up I'd be suicidal!
