How stupid will you look when I cash the £77M cheque?
How many million to 1 are the odds?
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
But with £77,000,000 jackpot it's got to be worth a go?
I never understand why the increase in winnings makes it more worth a go. The odds still remain crap. Put it in perspective, if the population of Sweden, man woman and child all bought a ticket it would take about 8 weeks before 1 person won.

Don't talk tulipe!
They'd have to buy eight tickets each!
Personally I'd buy A Predator 108 and cruise round the med/aegean for a year or so.
Other than a chav on social day who buys 8 lotto tickets?
