    I've never bought either a lottery ticket or a scratch card. But i was given a card once and inside was a lottery ticket which won me £10. I didn't even know what to do to claim it. I never let my winnings go to my head, it didn't change my life.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    On the Lotto £48
    On an online scratchcard £200 I seem to have more luck if I buy one online than in store!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
  • We don't really do the big lottery.

    On scratchcards, £100 on the Lucky 7's a few weeks ago. Was so surprised I cried!
    Would LOVE to win:
    A hamper - any sort! A goody bag - any sort! A UK mini-break. A year's supply of something foodie. Anything Sci-Fi related
    2013 wins - Cutting Room book, Rock n Rose necklace, £50 M&S voucher, Greggs coffee, £70 voucher for a Onesie
  • I have had 4 numbers out on the lottery a few times and won £74 I think was the most.

    Scratchcard I think its £20, but I may be wrong there.

    I win more than have no numbers out, but mostly have 2 or 3 numbers out over different lines (I have 3 lines every week on normal lottery). I do have more luck with Euromillions, but only really ever win £2 here or £6 there which just goes back on to pay for more tickets which then lose.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    Just over 2 years ago - 5 no's on the Thunderball = £5,000

    I've had 4 numbers on the Thunderball year ago? = £100


    Had 4 no's on the Lotto a few times from £66 to £96


    Noughts and Crosses scratch card about 10+ years ago £200


    3 weeks ago I laid out £3 on scratch cards and ended up with £97 profit as kept winning.


    Can go many weeks with no win on anything!


    (I nearly threw out a fast £50 SC but luckily double checked, gave somebody half who bought one , they won £50 too and gave me half!)

    Only won a couple of pounds on scratchcards but don't get them that often.

    Been playing the lottery for over a year now and still nothing :( There's a rule somewhere saying that on average people win £10 a year on it....I feel cheated! :rotfl:
  • I've won £500 on an online Lotto Scratchcard :T about 4 years ago!

    Lotto? £80 odd
    :j Wishing everyone lots of luck :j
