Anyone still do this? i know plenty who packed it in after it went up to £2 quid a line.

Tonight four numbers paid less than three, unreal, £25 for three numbers and four numbers gets only £15? its a joke now, might pack it in

How does that work?

There saying on Twitter "It's because we had a HIGH number of match 3's which are deducted from prize pool first - nature of the game."

If i was going to do the lottery i'd do the Euromillions. If you're not going to win something you may as well not win something really good.

My ticket is downstairs, it will be my luck that I got 4 numbers.

Ah right, makes some kinda sense i guess.

£360,000 for all 6 numbers, i'd be well gutted if i won and only got that much.

Well i wouldn't but how come thats so low, i thought the jackpot was always several millions. Is it cause less people play it these days?

I always do the Euromillions, but just lucky dips.

 

[4737carlin]

Yeah the Euromillions, might give that a go myself!

Christ, had no idea the total pot was so low these days. I think you would be a bit gutted to only win that given how much the jackpot used to be back in the old days.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

£8k for 5 numbers and the bonus, you'd be fuming

 

[Groucho]

I got, on the Euro, three numbers and two lucky stars, so matched 5 numbers in total - £44

Crap, all of them.

I do the Irish lottery every now and then. Used to put it on for my nan so I throw her numbers on every now and then.
