My dad just bought two lottery tickets today for tomorrow with a jackpot of 24 million, and I was just wondering has anyone here ever won the lottery, like proper big money, not just the measly £10 or whatever. do you know anyone that's won the lottery?
Personally I think there's really no point buying a lottery ticket since you never really win. Most of the time you just get like £10 or £20 but i guess it's better than nothing... what do you think?

oh i would so love to win the lottery. they say if you see it in your mind as yours you can own it not at all true. i've actually sat and wrote out on paper what i would do with different amounts. more then halph would go to help homeless, hungry, and people needing education to farther their station in life. but unselfish people usually dont win..sadly. i buy 2 tickets almost every week unless there is a time i cant get out to buy them. i know, so far its been a waste. not even 10 bucks back. the most i've ever gotten is 3 bucks. but, as they say, you cant win if you dont play. lol

i havent ever won big, but I think that if it could happen to anyone else in the draw it could happen to me. I win quite frequently on the scratch cards, the biggest amount being $25. Also, I went to the casino for the first time in 2009 and won $200 which I was extremely happy about.

Well I have never won the lotto in terms of a big prize. However, I usually play either a combination of my families and mine birthdays when I do play. Last year I actually cost myself 33000 dollars. Up until that time I was very consistent about playing the same numbers everytime I played. The problem was I was in a rush that night and I just got a quick pick. Unfortunately for me, the lotto numbers came, and if I would have played my regular numbers, I would have won the prize for 5 out of 6 numbers. That week the prize for 5 out 6 was just over 33000
