    Dam!! I used my last £2 to buy a ticket for last night :(

    Will have to resort to emptying the change jar methinks... that was a good question about the credit searching. If I won that amount of money I doubt my crappy basic account would accept it :D Would somewhere like Coutts just open you an account if you waved at £160k million cheque at them?!

    I'd imagine any bank would be licking your feet if they see that sort of money being waved at them.

    Shameless bump.

    It's suspected to reach the maximum value tonight (185 million euros, approx £166mil).

    Good Luck to anyone thats bought tickets (when I went to buy mine in Smiths, 3 people ahead of me also bought tickets! Looks like its going to be a popular one tonight!).

    I'd tell all the banks of my winnings and let them try and get me as a customer....

    Then I'd stick two fingers in the air and tell them all that they have failed my Credit Checks.

    Buy a safe and several security guards.
