I manage my account online so when (if) I win anything, I get an email saying "Good news, please check your lotto account". The most I have ever won online is about £40 from 4 numbers but I was just wondering if they still notify you in the same way if you win a substantial amount?

I can't imagine them doing this if you won £250k or whatever, surely they would call you?

As this has not happened to be me (yet ), I just wondered if I can always expect just a small prize when I receive that secret squirrel email!

They definately do - my friend knows the £54 mill winners and they go the email ... apparently they sat there giggling when they opened it up!! What a great email that would be :rotfl:

Hi,

Where can I find National lottery nos. older than the 180 days in which you are allowed to claim?

I know I couldn't ever claim, but I have some old tickets I didn't ever check and I'd like to just see if they won anything and kick myself for not checking them earlier. I know it's slightly masochistic.

The National Lottery site only lists the last 180 days or so.

Thanks.

You could check the numbers in the newspapers (Library archives ) for the dates you are after maybe

or just take them into a shop and let them scan them on the Lottery machine

Texting 63336 - they will know them, but be warned it costs £1 a text.

I have entered just about every competition going to try and win tickets for the world cup this summer, but just found my back up plan. Walkabout (where I will probably watch the matches anyway) are giving away tickets to get decent big screen facing seats in their pubs with beer (well, first round at least) food and apparently, dedicated service! The prize covers 2 people for all England group stage matches plus 5 other matches (hopefully 4 of them will be england matches too!!!).

Not south africa, but better than my sofa! The website is walkabout football which I found on fb.

BTW - it is a caption competition and people can vote for the best. If you don't enter, please can you vote for me (will). Thanx.:j

Also, if you see any more comps to win flights and tickets, pls keep posting!

Hello All

Is it just me or have the 15/04 comps not been moved to Game Over yet? I was trying to put them in order to start working though them but they still seem to be in the main forum. Just wanted someone to confirm I am not going daft!

Hi, wondering if you guys can help (Iused 2 be a competitions regular!)

My friend has a struggling restaurant and I'm looking for any competition out of the ordinary to enter that might help out eg. visit from your fav pop band, or a big prop from a film! Something they can use to get a bit of publicity where they are. I know the chances of me winning are slim, but theres a chance!

Anyone seen any PM me (or put here!) thanks so much

Have you thought of doing some twittering ?
