Title: Euro Millions Post by: AdamM on February 03, 2006, 03:52:45 PM surprised this thread hasnt come up yet. This is probably the only time you'll ever actually get the right pot odds to buy a ticket.
so if you win 125 mill what are you doing with it? Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Colchester Kev on February 03, 2006, 03:54:23 PM Spend 100 million on pies, and squander the rest :)
Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Poppet7 on February 03, 2006, 03:56:44 PM Buying my own house with a poker room
Going on holiday Helping out my friends and family Saving for the future Probably become a lazy so-and-so that doesn't work or go to college - a lady of leisure would so suit me! I'd want to do something special with my money but I'm not sure yet, wouldnt just write a cheque to a charity, would want to help in a better way than that. Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: snoopy1239 on February 03, 2006, 03:58:47 PM What are the odds of winning?
Plus, is it really good odds? Does winning it mean you are more likely to share because more poepl are playering? I know nothing about this, just curious. Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Graham C on February 03, 2006, 04:01:17 PM Retire, play on poker on tour, nice house, couple of nice cars, holidays, give some cash to friends and family etc
usual stuff Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Bongo on February 03, 2006, 04:01:42 PM £1.50 a ticket, £125 million jackpot (+ other prizes, and jackpot distributed to lower prizes if not won (i think!)), odds of jackpot are about 76million to 1 i think.
Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: AdamM on February 03, 2006, 04:03:12 PM personally the sheer weight of guilt of having that much would mean I'd have to set something up where by the 100 mill went to good causes. the 25 mill would be a hand bankroll hey, see you at the WSOP

Does winning it mean you are more likely to share because more poepl are playering? I know nothing about this, just curious. terrible :D If the jackpot isnt won tonight, I believe they are divvying it up down the levels a bit more Tonight really is the night to do it if you are going to do it Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Rod Paradise on February 03, 2006, 04:11:14 PM I thought this was the last rollover & if not won outright next week it was proportioned out....
Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: MrMoves on February 03, 2006, 04:12:23 PM I have one or two tickets for it tonight ;pokergods;
Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: MPOWER on February 03, 2006, 04:19:50 PM I'm not playing as it's so top heavy surly a flatter structure will attract more ticket sales.

Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Solver on February 03, 2006, 07:45:15 PM I managed to get 10 others at work to stick in a £5 for a one off syndicate (unless it's another rollover) so I got 36 tickets for £54.
If the big one hits I'm giving way my place to a mate and buying a bigger place locally. Probably give 10% of whatever to friends and family. Getting a small pad in LV. Retiring from my job and hitting the Pro circuit. Stu Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: MrMoves on February 03, 2006, 07:48:25 PM You realise that you're over 20 times more likely to get struck by lightning than win this thing?
Where is the "Struck by lightning" thread? ;) Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Graham C on February 03, 2006, 08:39:25 PM No winners
Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Trace on February 03, 2006, 08:53:48 PM So doesn't anybody get anything then?
Having never played this I'm not sure if you get anything for any numbers at all. Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: MrMoves on February 03, 2006, 09:01:23 PM No winners? There's clearly been an error somewhere, I remember purchasing the winning ticket earlier today.
What were the numbers? Is that thunder I can hear? Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Graham C on February 03, 2006, 09:04:43 PM lol @ MrMoves
Numbers are 9 21 30 39 50 - bonus 01 03 Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Solver on February 04, 2006, 09:14:12 AM I managed to get 10 others at work to stick in a £5 for a one off syndicate (unless it's another rollover) so I got 36 tickets for £54. We managed to get three cashes: two wins on one ticket (each ticket contains 4 rows) (2 numbers + 1 star & 1 number & 2 stars) for £16 one win on another ticket (2 numbers + star) for £7.10 I imagine given it's rolled over again that I'll probably get everyone to stick in another £5 for another £55, with this weeks winnings and the £1 left from last week I should have £79.10 That should give me 52 tickets and some small change for next weeks draw. Still dreaming of the big one.

I got 2 numbers and 1 Lucky Star for £7.10 :o Title: Re: Euro Millions Post by: Solver on February 04, 2006, 09:25:31 AM I imagine given it's rolled over again that I'll probably get everyone to stick in another £5 for another £55, with this weeks winnings and the £1 left from last week I should have £79.10 There were 3 Jackpot winners.
