Yeh bought 6 or 4 tickets for tomorrow out of the winnings I got from Friday's draw!

Went through a stage of buying tickets for both lotto and euro for about 3 weeks hoping I would win so I could blow it out on my holiday....but never happened :( didn't stop me from overspending though!

Statistically you shouldn't put more than one ticket on at a time

I don't normally bother, but doing it Friday for sure.

If I win a million, I'm going to keep it all in a bank account just so I can say I'm a millionaire, then once the fun wears off I'll go mental and make my garden like Michael Jacksons - wonderland will be mine muahahaha!

ha at the casino last week i was comfortably up so counting my chips in. just about to leave the table when the dealer told me i hadn't taken chips from the number i won on, the table had been filled by this point with only 1 number left on show so i just threw the £5 on that ... it spun in. chinese people round the table thought i was rain man

Is that right? I thought playing two lines in one draw was better than one line in two draws.

Say you had a 1/100 chance of winning, isn't it better to have a 1/100 and 1/99 than two 1/100's?

each week it's a new random set of numbers, you have the same chance each week, you should just save all your money and do it in one go at the end of the year with 52 tickets

It does increase your chances but you are putting twice as much in but it doesn't actually double your chances. So it's a bad gamble. Putting in once is a bad gamble too but we do it because the prize could change our lives and £1/2 a week will not be missed.

Quoted........

#!/usr/bin/python2.7

import random

euroNumbers = []
for i in xrange(5):
mainNumber = random.randrange(1,50)
while mainNumber in euroNumbers:
mainNumber = random.randrange(1,50)
euroNumbers.append(mainNumber)
euroNumbers.sort()

euroStars = []
for i in xrange(2):
starNumber = random.randrange(1,11)
while starNumber in euroStars:
starNumber = random.randrange(1,11)
euroStars.append(starNumber)
euroStars.sort()

euroMillions = euroNumbers + euroStars
print euroMillions

Just tried my first ever euromillions huehuehue..

I've wasted hundreds on the cunt, but as some bright spark pointed out if you won it could change your life so its addicting, however much you put on just for the feeling of thinking your going to win, even though you dont lol. A man can dream!
