Is the 88million rollover too tempting?

Has anyone caved in and bought a ticket or 2???
Just caved in and bought 6 jointly with OH, we still have £5.50 each left from our weekly allowances

    Oh sorry you have wasted your money. I just bought the winning ticket so the girl behind the counter assured me!

    I don't generally buy Lottery tickets unless I have change in my pocket, and today I do... ooooh! (i rarely have cash on me)

    I may buy one lucky dip on the way home. Best of luck to you guys!
  • I couldn't resist.

    The thought of what difference even a fraction of that money could make to me was too much

    I know its unlikely

    but its not IMPOSSIBLE!!!

    no
    Id rather keep my quid safe :)

    We did buy one a few weeks ago, and it wasnt so much the waste of money, more the sinking disappointment of not winning. We thought its not worth it!

    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...

    Just bought ours too - got two lucky dips, and can gurantee that the numbers on my ticket will NOT come out of the machine, so the £88m is unlikely to be coming to Leicester! To be honest, someone else can have the £88m and I'll have whatever loose change is left over...... good luck to those of you who have bought tickets.... someone has to win it!

    Yeah your quid is definitely safe. Euromillions cost £1.50 !

    I bought one lucky dip and for the first time ever, I chose one line of numbers two. £3.00 is my limit though !
