I've won it three times already this year using my unique, guaranteed system.
I am just putting together a series of presentations on how to do it.
Tickets availavle soon for only £500 each.I am one of the Dogs of the Index.0 -
I have won it twice in last 4 weeks, which I think is outstanding.
The first was £2.80 and the second £4.60.0 -
Okay, here's one for the maths experts. I once got four numbers on the National Lottery AND it was the first four numbers drawn AND I was actually watching the draw live! I can tell you my heart nearly packed in!
So sitting on four out of four and two numbers still to drop - what were the odds at that stage of getting all six?0 -

49 balls. 4 drawn, so 45 left.
You need to pick the right 2 balls, order not important.
I *think* 1 in 990.0 -

44/1 (45.0) chance ofgetting the first ball and 43/1 (44.0) chance of getting the second ball = 45*44 = 1980.0 = 1979/1
I think...0 -
Any 2 out of 45 and 1 out of 44, so (2/45)*(1/44) roughly 0.001% chance, around 1 in a thousand.
