I've stopped playing it. TBH £100mill or £161mill, you wouldn't notice the difference. It's both an obscene amount of money.
All the lottery tries to do it trick people into spending more and more money on it as they start thinking "OOOH, it's 161mill now!!"

Seriously, who wouldn't be happy with the £13mill they start out with? Even that's more money than I can contemplate though it's a lot more managable than 100mill +.

Why would you not play a lottery when the first prize is £13mill but then spend £60 when the prize is £160mill? It doesn't make sense.

It's fine for syndicates where people throw in a couple of £ when the jackpots get really big.
At my work we used to spend a tenner a week on the lottery (6 of us played it) and they wanted to go chase this 100mill+ jackpot now by spending a tenner each on every Euromillions draw until it was won.
Needles to say I pulled out of the thing. £20 a week on a 74mill-1 shot is just mental.

£20 a week is a bit ott for me but couple of quid never hurts.  £12m would be incredible, £161m would be amazing too, both certainly lifechanging and for a few quid each week, I'm happy to take a punt.  I just wish I remembered about the Euro ones on the right day!

Oh yeah, I've no problems flinging a couple of quid into it...but you have 4 lottery draws a week now so it's very easy to spend £10/£20 a week.
That would be £500-£1k a year that you'd spend on the lottery...that's just mental when you think about it.
You can spend it on coke, prozzies, ciggies or whatever and get a better return for your money.

I'm just saying, they suck everybody in to wasting as much of their money on it as possible. I can afford it, you can afford it..but I can't help but come round to the idea that the lottery is desperately close to becoming a tax on the poor.

It wans't me, though that probably has something to do with the fact I don't play the lottery rather than my number picking ability!!!!!

My wife got in from work all excited and spent ages ringing people up. I hope she won a decent amount. Looking good coz she went to bed without saying a word to me.

Doing what Guy's doing. Keeping the dream alive.

please keep posting if you've lost.

And if i've not won, I think the opposite to Rex. Hope someone wins it who will spend it and waste it like no tomorrow

Hang on, that's what I said!

Oh, and I won £7ish on 2+1 (10 lines). So £13 loss. Better than Friday!

But his wife added: "I'll be swapping cars." "
