    I actually have a 'first day' lottery ticket from the very first draw back in 1994 (or whenever it was). I doubt it is worth anything. But would it have been worth more if I had had the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 rather than some useless random numbers? I sometimes wish I had chosen that combo. Or maybe 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49 would have been the best first day ticket to have had, as to what may be more likely to be worth something in many years' time? An uncommon combination, not held by many other first day tickets doubtless still in existence, whilst also having a sought-after arrangement such as all six consecutive like that?

    Agree it's a bit confusing; I think it means offers on the breakfast menu?

    Will ask before ordering.

    :D

    Karlie let us know your findings please as you are good at that .

    Good Evening all. Don't know if it's been posted as I'm playing catchup but I went into New Look and saw notices there saying buy £20 gift voucher they even do £1 ones lol and they give you a £5 card for yourself to be spent in December :) and no minimum spend. Seems a good deal to me :D

    Although think about how many people bought one and binned it after they didnt win...myself included...


    There are some really quite common things that can now be worth money simply because they were designed to be thrown away....my BIL has an amazing collection of phone cards some used and some not...

    Am I missing something? Some industry experts will doubtless be able to explain to me that they face costs that I am ignoring. Just seeing on the news now that the cost of oil has gone down from 72p a barrel in the summer to 52p a barrel now.

    In which case, if the prices in the summer were about 126.7p a litre for unleaded petrol (just a ballpark figure maybe, and maybe that is top-end for some people, I should be taking it off an even lower figure), the prices now should now be 52/72 x 126.7 = about 91.5p a litre. Yet they are not are they? A penny off a litre here, a penny there. Where is the thirty-five pence a litre price reduction?

    So - I think message is don't be confused by the big, shouting "1p off a litre" announcements. Seems to me (and I'm obviously missing something?) that that is an extreme shortchange.

    Because fuel duty and VAT account for over 60% of the cost at the pump.
