How much do you put on the lottery?

I'm getting worse for this. I hadn't touched a scratch card for years, but now I'm buying one every other day. Would just love to fuck work off and spend a year on holiday.

Problem is, you really don't win much. I've actually started doing the American Powerball as I noticed it was 220 million dollars :picardfacepalm:

Zero.

Now and again I might buy a ticket or a euromillions but it's very rare.

A couple I know have had a few good wins on the Irish lottery, not huge as in millions but like 30 grand or something was the biggest and and few smaller than that but still substantial. Apparently all they did with the money was pay off loans and credit cards :spaz: :67s6qro:

We used to do the same numbers every draw but it become too expensive
Then when her mum died we start doing a new set of numbers based on dates, that was given up too when that other cunt wasn't paying her share.

Only buy a ticket now if it's a big draw or I've spare change.
Over the years my Mrs has matched 5 twice, first time it was only €1400 and the second was €3500

That's not bad. I've one around a hundred quid twice, and sixty quid once. Other than that, it's under a tenner.

And now they've made it more expensive, and harder to win.

I'm in the early stages of pursuing matched betting as a viable second income. Won't be doing actual gambling much at all soon hopefully, I've only done lottery a few times.

That sounds like a terrible idea.

I spend about a tenner a week nothing massive to show for it. I know a lad who won the biggie €3m.
In fairness he paid his brothers mortgages off and then the eejit bought a pub

Forgone conclusion I suppose.

In other news I've won thirty quid on a scratchcard today.

And will probably put it straight back on.
