Woe Is Me

[Dee Sa]

I am talking about the Euromillions lottery, for the past three weeks I spend just £2 for one ticket for each draw and I have not even had one number on any of the tickets. Is it me just unlucky or does this happen to others, premium bonds the same cant remember last time I had even the tiniest win from them, just call me Mrs Neverwin.

It's a known fact that just like the sea going out before a tsunami wave, you get no numbers just before you get the lot.

Hopkirk, I hope you're right but I haven't done the Euromillions :-(

[Dee Sa]

hopkirk you have given me hope, have a good weekend.

[Georgiesmum]

Its what i would expect. You would be far better putting the coins in a pot and saving them, at least you would have something at the end.

[Psybbo]

Dee Sa, you'll win on Tuesday! When I do do it, it's either nothing or a few dounds. Have a good day x

I win the lottery every week, I don't enter it and just spend the ticket money instead.

Used to have numbers picked did these numbers for approx 6 months ,stopped doing them Found old ticket yesterday .Just to see I put in the numbers and searched the winning numbers in history I would have had 3 numbers on three occasions and 4 on one occasion .dosnt bother I don't need the money it only amounted to about 90 quid so over the six months we'd and Saturday it would have cost approx 60 quid so I only missed out on 30quid

One stat I've not seen anywhere is have more "jackpot" winners won with a line of lucky dip numbers or their regular numbers? (i.e. same ones used every week).

[KristalB]

Surely if you keep the same numbers every week, each week that you don't win pushes up your odds of a big win? On the other hand I've had some premium bonds over 30 years with not one win, could this be a record?

I think I've had small wins on the lotto or euro every week for about 6 weeks now, I'm hoping tonight is going to be the big one because quite frankly with the future looking so bleak with being able to get back to work i'm looking for a long term solution! A few million would be that solution.

When the National Lottery first started I didn't bother with it for a few weeks but then I bought a ticket. Not one of the numbers came up. I bought a ticket the next week. Not one of the numbers came up. I bought a third ticket and . . . yes, you've guessed it. Then I bought another ticket, and another and another. In the end I'd purchased ticket for 41 WEEKS IN A ROW and I didn't get a single number on any of them! Eventually, in the 42nd week of trying, I got just one number! I've calculated the odds of that happening and the chances are less than those of actually winning the jackpot! So, if Lady Luck will play strange tricks with me one way round, why won't she do it the other way as well?
