Do You play The National Lottery?
Ask a Question
Do you play the lottery?
Or do you think its a waste of money?
I play every week and the most i have won is £10
I used to for a while, then stopped when so many games came out. Hardly ever won anything and at most £10. I do, however, play scratch cards if I have the money. Only ever £1 ones though. Get £2 back fairly often. Occasionally I have been lucky and won as much as £15. Only very occasionally though. Lose often too though but that’s the gamble.
I can count on one hand the number of times I have done the lottery. My friend does her lucky numbers twice a week. Obviously they’re not lucky numbers
I use to do it every Saturday and mostly when it was a roll down (had to be won), l never had any set numbers and would choose a lucky dip, l stopped doing it 3years ago as l decided that I'm not a lucky person, l won't be doing it ever again.
I personally don’t play regularly but have always intended to as it would be less than a fiver to play Wednesday and Saturday, which i wouldn’t miss, but if i won it would be life changing
I used to do it, but years ago when is was £1 . I never won anything. My dad does it regularly occasionally wins max £30.
I don't I buy scratch cards instead. The most I've won is £20. I find certain shops I buy from I don't often win but others I win often.
chantelle1992t POSTCODE LOTTERY????????? £12 per month direct debit!!!! put your money into a savings account instead and earn interests on it.
If the average amount I hyperthetically spent on the lottery each week were £10, I would be £23,920 in profit because I have never done it! That's a whopping £23,920 I have saved. I know when it started it was usually £1 people spent but look at how it has grown with extra lotteries each week and scratch cards. If I had played the lottery I most likely would have spent even more than this.
jam45 it's called search lotto . Basically you use a search engine and every 25 searches earns you 1 entry in either national lottery or euro millions entry.
Lalou I use a website called searchlotto.co.uk/. Every 25 searches earns you a entry.
I used to play it when it first started up. £5 a week and in a year I won £10 so I stopped and put the money in a post office savings account which I used as an emergency fund
There are far too many games now.
I was put off when I got asked my age when buying one when they first came out very embarrassed
Haven't done the National Lottery for years, our next door neighbour's daughter went out with Sheffield Lottery winners Ray & Barbara Wragg's son as did someone I grew up with..
Not long after The National Lottery started there was a freak incident where there was a lot of winners, my sister & brother in law were among them..
janphoenix51 wow i didnt know that there was a freak incident
I bet your sister and brother in law are super happy
Well done them
Lalou ....They didn't win much , only a few hundred as there was something like 200 winners, like I said it was a freak incident, it wasn't long after the National Lottery started..
We also grew up with Barnsley winner Lesley Lerard who lived over our back garden in Sheffield when she was a teenager.
I don't play it any more after reading this article about how long it takes to claim since the lottery was taken over. They seem to be in a shambles! www.mirror.co.uk/money/lottery-scratchcard-winners-face-huge-32283220
It used to be good when it first started up and we viewed it as a Saturday night treat to see if we were the winners.I feel it all became too much with lots of different games and scratch cards so I don't take part anymore.
