Lottery (noun) - a tax on stupid people

.. I'll keep putting my pennies into savings thanks (or beer), both of which have a better return 8)

Apparently you have got as much chance of being killed by a donkey than you have of winning the lottery!

Crikey that makes our lousy 30 million Aussie $$$$ jackpot sound a bit weak, but I would love to win it. :thumbsup:

I must have won over £200 since the lottery started, including £76.00 from a free to enter one.
I reckon I've made quite a bit more than I've spent. I'm ahead on fruit machines too.  :evil:

I won £1300 on the lottery on the 5th draw, we were over the moon and we had a holiday in spain on our lucky win, the most we have ever won since has been £10, but the Euro millions is one of them lotterys where you really need to be very lucky to even get anything.

But hey if your not in it you cannot win it.

I wouldnt bother having a go if I were you, I understand the winner is coming from Ireland this Friday.

Did they rename Newcastle to Ireland while I wasn't looking? Wouldn't surprise me.
I encourage people to buy as many tickets as possible. Increases my winnings.  :smiley-laughing:

Pubs and shops dont take eurines round here

My strategy is to buy ten thousand tickets using the same numbers, so even if you do win I still take the lions share.  :evil:

I've consulted my crystal ball and I'm going to win.  ;)
Then I'll buy up all the limited editions of railway stuff that the manufacturers come out with.
Then keep it for a while and then sell it on Ebay to mugs with deep pockets. Make even more money!  :evil:
The bankers will then get jealous as I'll have more money than them.  :smiley-laughing:

(I also tell lies  :o and can talk a lot of old twaddle!  ;D)

The £166,000,000 winner comes from Ayrshire. Any of our members from Ayrshire?

If they were they've probably left the building (or bought it)

£166,000,000 is pretty poor compensation for living in Ayreshire !!

I saw them both on the news tonight and I wish them both well. They are a semi retired couple and deserve everything. Funnily enough they are now ranked 430th richest in the UK. They now have more wealth than Sir Tom Jones. All the best to them :thumbsup:

I bet they won't be building a railway bridge on the Aln Valley Railway though, or bring out a new DCC system, or new points that don't need altering to make them work properly. I was even going to manufacture scale points for the Protofour modellers. I was thinking of buying Hornby too and making the Select DCC compliant.  If I had a bit of money left over I was going to build a super A4 called the AX and break the world speed record for steam locomotives.

Sorry Poliss - Citroen beat you to the AX but no way would it set any records. The AX GT was a neat little motor, though
