I think the moral is - don't start.

According to Mr Fry on QI (I hear on the Jonafon Woss show, so it is
not that reliable) you have more chance of dying than winning the
lottery.

I'd say it was eminently reliable since we all have a 100% certainty
of dying.

I'm not very good at wording things today, am I?

:-)

Well, we all have days like that. One day I said "I do" :-))

I made that mistake as well!(:-(

What would you do?

Since the Lottery started I have had the same 6 numbers. 5 have come
up tonight.

Would you now change numbers or stick with them?

I would certainly enjoy the £1,019 I had just won.

You wouldn't reinvest it into the next weeks draw then?

Alan


Congratulations!

And IMO, it would attract more buyers not just
by improving the distribution to good causes but by making more and
smaller
prizes instead of one huge one of e.g. £8 mill. Eight prizes of £1 mill.
each would be more attractive in terms of 'possibility'.

Here, here, I've always thought more prizes of smaller amoputs would be more
sensible, this week there is supposed to be a prize of £74 millon and
millions more people have been taken in by it!

I'm sure you're right. I have consistently got 'prizes' of £50, £150 and
even £500 from the Premium Bonds. I know that a stockbroker once told me
what the PBs should return to you and mine were doing just the right thing.
Of course, there's no capital growth but then it depends on what you do with
your 'winnings'.

Hubbard claimed she had 'prizes' of £150.00. There is no prize of £150.00 as
I displayed. Hubbard had 'payouts' of £150.00 just as I had a 'payout' of
£200.00 this month, but there is no 'prize' of £200.00. I had 2 x £100.00
prizes.

Hubbard is very quick to pick up other's postings when she doesn't
understand what has been said, viz where she claimed I had said that I was
President of RAFA and then dismissed her disgusting 'Hitler' statement 'that
certain people should not be allowed to breed or vote' as a joke.

For someone who lives in and advertises her husband's garden centre to all
and sundry, I feel the statement "People in glasshouses ......etc etc" shows
her up for her 'Holier than thou' attitude and nature.

What it is to have brains. Yes, I got two prizes in one month as you so
cleverly worked out. ;-)) Of course, it would be nice to have a couple
more noughts on the end but...........! Most of them have been £50 prizes
but steadily enough to make me feel it was worthwhile buying them.

Ha! I've had the money from the sale of a car stuck in premium Bonds for
about 10 years. Not massive amount but even so I have never won anything
on them at all. Someone somewhere must win lots of times to get the
probabilities of winning in the area that they always advertise!

When I paid my 2 x £100.00 cheques into the bank, I remarked that it would
have been nice if there were a few more 0's on the end, 'That's what you
said last time and what everybody says', so maybe the Isle of Wight is a
lucky place :-))

Alan was actually referring to getting your money back and not seeing it
vanish on a Wednesday or Saturday night :-((
