    So at a return of 2*£6.80 in £100 this is a 0.136 return on investment. Given an initial investment of £112,000,000, one could play the game 9 times before one is holding nothing more than a few coins. Good game, good game. Such a good game I wouldn't be surprised if it were illegal to set up one's own lottery that offered better odds.

    1] Epic Fail
    2] Epic Fail
    3] Epic Fail
    4] Epic Fail
    5] Epic Fail

    I won on the lottery

    To be fair. Thats what pissed me off. I decided to go mad. Logged on and it said debit cards only!!

    So I drove off to Tesco's. Place me order and though 'oooo double clubcard points' got my receipt back and bugger all! Had a good mind to complain.

    Anyway. I told the lady behind the counter, if I didn't win I was coming back tomorrow and would be lodging a formal complaint against her.

    She just smiled nervously.

    I have to say, I was pissed not to have got Clubcard Points though. If I'd known I would have used my Black Amex!

    It's not the winning or losing. It's the taking part.

    Anyway. The offer stills stands. £2 for M12. I want 75%
