Lottery results

Just seen on the news the good prizes won by getting 5 numbers.

3 Balls = £25
4 Balls = £51

















5 Balls = £15

I bet there's a fair few winners wishing they had 4 balls and not 5

I've only got two. Is that unusual?

Moral of the story is, don't play the lottery with multiples of 7 as your numbers. Or at all.

I'm seriously considering finishing with the national lottery altogether and using the £2 a week to join the NHS staff lottery at work.

It's a lottery, theoretically 3 numbers could pay more than a jackpot. The thing that cracks me up, is the idiots belly aching about the fact that a 5 number result ( all multiples of the number 7) got so many 'winners'.

Buy Premium Bonds if you want to gamble - at least you can get your stake back later if you need cash in a hurry. I invested some of the money that I inherited recently and won £25 on the first draw. No doubt I will have to start cashing them in later in the year, but I am hoping that I win again before then.

I won £50 three months on the trot last time I put my savings into Bonds instead of earning not much in the bank.

Buy Premium Bonds

Most of our savings are tied up in PB's. It pays back much better then normal savings account. Im actually quite surprised how many winning cheque's pop through the letter box from them.

Apparently if the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 were drawn it would be a similar scenario as that is another of the most popular sequences played.
That said, you'd be royally ticked off if it was you wouldn't you?

I bought £200 worth of PB's in 1973, and my total winnings to date is.......£0.00. I guess I'm one of those people who were never meant to have money.

When the lottery was first trialed, Noel Edmonds was chosen to trial run the drawing system, away from the public gaze. This was 1994. The first six trials using the original equipment, all drew 1,2,3,4,5,6. The odds against this were astronomical. They even went to the trouble of redesigning the machines.

I rarely do the lottery... last time was 3 years ago, when I won £80. I think I won a tenner once too.

He pulled his balls out of his crinkly bottom.
