Well, Just a curiosity from me, and since the National Lottery here is only able to be played by UK people, sorry you foreign types, your opinion dont matter :p

Just wondering if anyone here actually plays the Lottery?

If you do, where do you buy the tickets n stuff?

and, If youve used the online ticket thingy, have you ewver had to phone through to the helpline?

(if you notice my occupation, then I'm really just wondering if theres the off chance Ive evber spoken to any of you and not even realised it :) )

damn, didn't know you could play online! doh!

all those rushed trips to the shops in the snow/cold/rain/dark (delete as applicable) when I forgot to buy a ticket - could have been avoided!

will remember that - thanx for tip - another way to avoid excercise and play more nc :D

heheh

I only work here so that I CAN keep up me NC (and other games) habits :D

other than that, I'll keep my comments and opinions about the lottery and the website to myself in the name of keeping said job too ;)

Each week I write down a set of number's, if they don't come up I consider that I've won myself £1..

If they do come up, well it's never happened so heh.. it's far cheeper than playing and losing a little each week..

It's a quote, though you probably didn't know that..


I don't watch the lotto anymore, I don't play so I don't watch..

Spain is your best bet, but Greece is cheaper still :)

assuming they aint swapped onto the euro yet....

yea but the flights to greece cost more :) also if you want rediculasly cheep cigs go to gib, 200 for 3.50 but unfortunatly because its a tax haven you have to abide by the duty free laws (ie 200 cigs per person) unless you can wander accross the boarder back to spain without them noticing but the thats *naughy*

I don't play.

Cause I forget to buy tickets and when I do I forget to check the numbers :)

I didn't know you could play online either.

Might have a go as It was my B/Day yesterday :)

I won £34 last week, but I'm not letting it change my life - unless you count more alcohol and more snacks a big life change :D

I'm certainly not dressing up like a pig in burberry either :p
