Has anyone ever won anything on the lottery?

Hi everyone, as the title says I was just wondering if anyone had ever won anything on the lottery? We've just started playing it and excitedly check our tickets every Saturday (we also pick 3 numbers for the Irish lottery). I'm not too sure how long it will stay exciting for but someone has to win it!

Today had an email to say I had won £10 on the Saturday Lottery, I sometimes win £10 or a small amount from the Euro Lottery, I have won around £80 & £1,4000 before now.

Yes I have had six numbers before, shame they were on different lines:rotfl:

My aunt won the very first draw, and received I think something along the lines of £4,000.

As it was the first draw, there was media coverage and it was delivered to her door by limousine. I'm guessing this was the case for all that won a 'significant' figure in the first draw.

She still plays every week, as does her sister. They're the only people I know that play, but since that first draw they've only won the occasional £10.

I can't imagine how much it must have cost them to continually take part. Still, they end up happy with the wins they do have, and they can afford it.

I got 4 numbers in the 2nd ever draw, about £80

the work syndicate won 5 numbers last year, about £290pp. I put it all on the mortgage!

About a month after the lottery started I was at a supermarket kisok queue and a lady in front of was waiting to buy her ticket hoping she'd get lucky again as she'd won justunder £100K the week before!!

The people that bought our house won £750,000 a few years ago, a neighbour who lives a couple of streets away wond £2.5 million, sadly the local luck doesn't seem to have reached me yet!
