Arrow Anyone MUG enough to buy Euromillions Ticket?

Apart from me obviously!

No idea what the actual odds are of winning the Jackpot but I'm guessing it's about as likely as PSL getting a round in!

Got a couple of tickets, probably would've been better off saving my money though.

Have a few tickets on myself. Always have a lucky dip on every Tuesday & Friday, but when it gets to £50m+ I always stick a couple extra on.

Plus the works syndicates as well.

£10m would change your life forever. Imagine winning £154m?

I'd have a fresh Hungarian virgin flown in every month to use as a sex doll.

Be rude not to really, only ever play it when it's a few rollovers, do the normal lottery every week as I stupidly use the same numbers every week since it started so would be gutted if they came in

MUGS, you literally have more chance of being taken out in the street by an alien crash landing due to it being hit by a meteorite.

Tell you what if anyone wins on this thread I'll give you an additional £50. Yes! imagine that 154,000,050 pounds! Gotta be worth spending another £10 for that eh MUGS.

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at maths MUGS

Because spending £2 on a pint will get you......... a pint.

Spend £2 on a lottery ticket, and you could end up winning one of many prices worth more than £2. Would could also be lucky enough to hit £154m.

You could buy your own Brewery.

As the saying goes. You have to be in it to win it.

EDIT.
Where the f00k can you get a pint for £2?

No you won't! You will not win the big prize nor any prize of any mention! So you are wasting the £2. Winning a tenner or even a few hundred, thousand isn't really anygood either, as you need to add up the cost of all the tickets you've bought to date, to see if it offsets the winnings or not. Seeing as I've never bought a lotto ticket in my life I reckon I've had a fair few more pints than you have

My odds of winning the jackpot are 0; if you've bought a single ticket then your odds are 0.0000000086 ... close enough to zero that it may as well be zero imho!

TX.

Spend your money on Beer, Crack, Coke, Subaru or lottery whatever you spend it on you all get taxed...!

Difference is you have a change albeit very small of making that £2 in to alot more, with the rest of the options you aint gonna get that return...!

Its a gamble, if you like a gamble put it on, if not buy a line of talc or a cheap pint..

Good look to all.

If i win the 154 Mil, ill buy everyone on this link a new scoob.!

Just calculated the odds

50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 11 x 10

You have a 1 in 27,967,632,000 chance to get all 5 numbers and the 2 lucky stars!!!

I bought 5 lines

Im like Charlie in the cocholate factory and I purchased 1 ticket..

Here is a question for you all... if getting 6 random numbers is 1 in X then why does no one pic 1,2,3,4,5,6, as their weekly numbers?

Indeed but the lotto is an additional tax that is voluntary!

I look forward to my new scoob, but I don't want the turd that is the hatch!

i think buying a beer, crack or a subaru is also voluntary..! unless your addicted then that i presume could be an excuse..

You can take your pick, but only if i win the big 154M not £6.75..!

That's one of the best sequences of numbers to pick as it's unlikely others have chosen them so if they do come up you get 100% of the prize.

Odds are 116 million to 1 regardless,
