National LotteryThis week seems to be rollover week and I generally only buy lottery tickets for rollovers. The Euromillions fund is at £54,000,000. I have splashed out and bought a whole two tickets. More or less guaranteed to win then. Also a triple rollover on the UK lottery, of £20,000,000, I have bought another two tickets so will probably win that one as well.

Now I am trying to work out how I am going to spend it all, I can see it could be hard work, if I stick it in my savings account, I will need to blow £73,000 a week just to stand still. That is an awful lot of beer and chocolate.

    I dunno Jax, there’s a nice big house to buy, then you need to buy the entire contents of HobbyCraft and enough Fimo from Merry to allow your children to adequately decorate your new mansion…. should keep you chiseling away at the balance for a week or two 😉 Oh, and I lke chocolate too 😆

    Lotteries, as they say, are a tax on people who don’t understand probability, more commonly known as ‘the stoopid’.

    So do you want publicity? 😆

    Going for total secrecy. Don’t suppose anyone will notice the difference.

    Chris, I’m sure I worked out once that (for a non-tax payer at least) you’re better off ‘investing’ (HA!) in the national lottery than in premium bonds, though. I never could work out how they get away with that. Well, either, actually.
