say you win the £154 million euro lotto.......

We've a syndicate at work and if we won no one in the whole area would receive their mail because we would all be out the door like a shot leaving the bullying management to do some work for a change. With my £3+million I would emigrate to the otherside of the world, this country has nothing going for it anymore. It'll never happen but I can dream.

Dont say it will never happen cause it did to a couple of blokes at my work scooped over 3m each.
Also one didnt pay his lotto money and he didnt get any monies from the win and he still works here

That has got to be the worst feeling ever, your colleagues winning and you are stuck in your job because you never paid up. Will definitely have another £2 ready for Tuesday.

I like the lottery; it's a tax on being stupid, and is therefore entirely optional.

Come on guys, if you want to earn a few bob and retire early, then it's going to require hard work, creativity, and long-term planning. Slowly hemorrhaging your money away on a gambling habit is worse than useless.

I would build the worlds largest and most luxurious yacht, I would then interview each member of the female crew and kit them out in their all year round uniform which I would buy from Argos......oh, forgot, the uniform would be a single gold earing who said money can't make you happy :rotfl:

I'd spend half on wine, women and song and just waste the rest.

Well the odds of winning with the jackpot with 1 single line on euromillions is 1 in 116,531,800. If you have 10 lines in a syndicate then your odds of winning are still only 10 in 116,531,800.

The chances of winning with no ticket are zero.

So long as you realise your chances are very slim, it's down to the individual whether they choose to gamble or not.

I am constantly surprised with the people who are not prepared to invest even a little in dreams, the only certainty is that no entry you will never win and you will never get rich on the money you save. However for a modest yearly investment you may get lucky someone has too with a ticket in the lottery it may be you it probably won't be but it might, just might. I get high expectations with every draw and I often have extreme disapointment with every draw, not all I have won over £5,000 in lottery wins including one of £2500 which was 1 number off a share in an unwon £10m. If. just if, that had been six numbers not 5 would you be saying it was stupid to enter a lottery?

In terms of lotteries it is only stupid if you enter expecting to win you have to enter and hope to win I see nothing stupid in that I could invested that money in Northern Rock would you see that as less stupid? Or I could have invested it in a pension that lost money over the crash would that be stupid? or I could be out spending it on alcohol (now that is a stupid past time, can you tell I don't drink!) and get blotto on cheap cider hoping to forget the futility of my life on balance I think a little sent on dreams is money well spent.

And to those who think it is stupid to enter something you have no hope of winning tell that to the other 15 teams in the premier league who start a season knowing they will probably not win they have little hope but they still try and they hope that they just get lucky for a change but are happy with anything up to 4th. If I could turn every £2 I have into £2.80 in a couple of days I would be very happy and that is often the prize for 2 numbers in the Euro Millions.

You get £40m for being relegated out of the Premiership. Not quite the same.
