    I did the lottery on a Saturday night from when it started in the 90s up until the price went up to £2 a ticket. In all those years the most I ever won was £34 for having 4 numbers and the occasional £10

    I don't do it regularly anymore, maybe once a month or less (I still like to dream). Instead I save the money and never check the numbers

    I used to do the PC lottery at £10 per month but then dug deeper and realised that I was the only one signed up to my postcode so the chances of winning were miniscule so I cancelled. My friend lives in a very wide-ranging postcode and has win a few times but not enough to get her money back. Don't bother.


    I did do a one off on the National Lottery and won £20k on the now defunct raffle though. I now live in a very warm and watertight house. :)
