Has anyone ever won anything on the lottery?

Nothing beyond the odd tenner for me but I'm not a regular playier. I worked with a woman who got the first 5 numbers out. She won around £2,200 and FIL won a similar amount when he got 5 numbers out a couple of years ago. We were on hol in France when FIL rang and struggling with travelling and kids and distance so they told us to book into a nice hotel to break up the journey and they'd pay.:beer: The rest of the money went on MIL visiting her sisters in Canada.

I once won £100 on the magic number (or w/e they call it)
My college won £150k on a scratch card – jealous!!

I know someone who won £100k, and my friends u clear won £800k.
Oh and my friends mother was part of a syndicate that got 6 numbers but it was a low jackpot week and there was 20 of them in the syndicate so they got £60k each.

Personally I got 4 numbers once - £84

The most I've ever got was 4 numbers in a work syndicate, we'd gone for several years at home here not even getting a tenner but then got a tenner 2 weeks running a couple of months ago.

My mum got 5 numbers a few years ago which ended up being about £1,900.

One of DH's ex's friends won £17 million on Euromillions (shared between 3 family members.)

I got 5 numbers and the bonus ball once...on 2 separate lines...! Got a tenner. I've got a direct debit in for it now, two lines twice a week, but will be cancelling it in the autumn when it goes up to £2 a line.

Goodbye Lottery I can’t believe the lottery company Camelot could be so insensitive to the current economic plight we are finding ourselves in that they are increasing the cost of a lottery ticket by 100% so it is going to be £2 a go.
I was already a bit stretched buying my lottery tickets I bought lottery ticket’s for the Wednesday and the Saturday = £2, Lotto plus5 =£1 plus the Euro lottery for Tuesday and Friday = £4 so in total it was £7 a week.
I started recently to buy them for a month at a time which made me realise how much I was spending on the lottery £28 a month! Now with the increase it would amount to £36 a month! For a dream! Well my dream of winning the lottery is over.
Camelot has become too greedy and I think they will lose far more than they gain, they won’t be having anymore of my money.

I have had a few £10 wins, my Brother has had 4 numbers on 2 occasions (about £60\70) and a neighbour to my previous home won the jackpot (3.5m) and promptly moved out of the area.

They say you have to be in it to win it, but I don't rely or depend on winning, I cross my fingers and chance my luck.

I used to buy a ticket occasionally when the lottery first started and won £10 a couple of times.

My cousin won over £1.6 million a few years ago. He's not won a penny since though. My next door neighbour's son won the jackpot too.

My neighbour 3 doors along won about £750,000 when the lottery first started. He didn't move but paid to have a lamppost moved so that he could get his caravan on the drive!

My childminder of years ago won £130,000 on the football pools. I used to give her daughter a lift to school and she talked about the lottery. I remember arguing with her the low odds of winning and the futility of buying a ticket (this was a 12 year old girl.) She rang me up the following Sunday to let me know that her mum had just won £2,000 on the lottery.

Also, a boy at my son's school - his parents won £3 million on the lottery. Why is it never me?
