I've just went and did my EuroMillions ticket online and still had £2 soo thought I would have a go at the Deal or No Deal Instant Win, and just won £100 on it.

    I alway thought the Instant wins where a bit of a fix, but I did it just for a bit of fun.

    Its good to win on the scratch cards, I do tend to find that when I am down to the last few quid I seem to have better luck on them.

    I got £47.00 the other day on them , and a while ago I was skint and went in and purchased a card and one £10.00 purchased some more with that and came out with about £80.00 up.

    Overal I am still probably down by thousands from doing all the lottery's but there we go, as per the saying you gotta be in it to win it.
