They say that money changes a person. But as you're already an arsehole I guess it doesn't matter in your case.

I may be an arsehole now but if I won I'd be an even bigger arsehole. A subject I hear you know a lot about.

If I win it I'll be able to afford to be the arsehole I've always wanted to be.

Looks like another rollover, was actually £114M, I "won" £4.80 last night.

Another????

Okay I'm in for another gamble. Just one more. The final one. Now's there's final hits and final hits, which kind is this to be?

Even at London prices?

You lucky girl he is taking you to Wetherspoons.

Well, seeing as how odds of 1 in 11,653,180 are such obviously good odds, I decided to buy 10 tickets. After all, didn't Terry Pratchet say that 1 in a million chances happen nine times out of ten?

£7.80, would probably have been better off puting my twenty quid on a random longshort nag.

Thinking about it, I wonder how many people would buy a ticket if they quoted the probability of winning as 0.00000000858%. As someone pointed out previously, you really do have a vanishingly small chance of winning this game.

Haven't done lottery for yonks but perhaps I will tonight as I am bound to win.

Had a spooky moment at the village club raffle last week. I jokingly waved my fingers at my tickets and commanded them to win and my number was the next out. If my magic spell works for a box of chocolates maybe it will work for a few million.

That was your piece of luck. It will never happen again

On a (mildly) serious note - outside of London / South East - you simply couldn't spend £111m unless you actively went out of your way to burn it - you'd find it very hard to spend more than £5m on a house.

But in some parts of London, you could easily spend a big chunk of £111m on digs alone.

I might be tempted to push the boat out!

I'll buy you a pint if we win.

I'm not convinced that "invested" is the right word

Make sure you buy the ticket at the last minute - you don't want to run the chance of dropping dead between buying the ticket and draw itself.

And if you think it's silly to talk about the odds of popping your clogs in a matter of hours - and winning the jackpot .... which event do you think is more likely to happen.

[scooterscot]

I'd be tempted to calculate the probability of certain numbers coming up given:

1) the machine used

2) the ball set used

3) the number of draws that the number did not come up

With this you could test for a fit but you'd need to place a bet on each combination of ball set and machine.
