devastated

Wow - close ! Bad luck.

nice little pay day for 5 numbers why complain, most people never get 5

it's nice winning a grand padora but i am absolute gutted, god as my witness, 43 was the last number i picked but before I did, i was dithering over 43, couldn't have picked both but that hurts

was a rollover as well, would have been the only person to win 5 million

£1074 nice

it's worth a try with some tipex

Photoshopped !

i don't do attention seeking threads leopard let alone go to that effort, on the bright side, will pay quite a few bills off, looks like have to collect at the post office.

Even though it's not the '  FK OFF '  one, still a nice sum. Well done

Nice lift. Invest it wisely. Some decent racing at Doncaster and Sandown today.

Give it to the cat's home. Well done.

Great idea kenny.

My cat has a home?

Very close to the big one Scandy.

I remember back in 2001, I had 4 numbers come up which got me £125.  However, I also had the bonus ball and "6".  If that "6" was a "5" I would have won £125,000.  It was a shame because £125 is a good win (I was 16 so £125 was a lot of money) but I couldn't enjoy it as I kept thinking how close I was to a life-changing win.

How did you get the photo up so quick? normally takes a day or two to get approved

Probably not breaking even overall even now with that win I would guess

Good point

How do you get a pic on here so quick?

What do you mean by quick?

Like this?

still not over missing out on 6.3 mil

Just think, with £5m you could have afforded to strap TSO to a rocket and send him in to space

SH - I know exactly how you feel squire...I had 5 numbers and got £1805 back off that a few years ago and I was called all the lucky bastards going by a few people!
I was absolutely filleted by that as I had a few grand in the bank at the time (so I really didn't need it THAT much compared to many other times) and even the bonus number would've got me around £267K if I remember correctly - I'm not greedy in wanting the big one...I would've settled for the bonus ball as it would've changed my life!

I can't remember what the big one paid but I expect it was huge as £1805 for 5 numbers is better than most people get, and over a quarter of a million for the bonus was a big dividend too.

I've sulked since and never played it because I feel like I used up my lifetime's luck with that lucky dip and I never pay attention to it any more

Nice win.

But it only goes to show what a rip off the lottery really is, it's about 55000/1 to get five numbers up yet they pay out at not much more than 500/1.

i don't approve of gamblers winning the lottery

I was in a four people syndicate  &around 15 years ago, we also got 5 numbers  but as we had a perm of 8 numbers we got it three times but it paid a paltry £695, that was not the worst of it, I was watching it & the bonus ball came out & we had number six & for a split second I thought we had it but it was number nine

should have laid it off on here

I think that's a good way of doing it Pumps. At least when you hit you've got a good chance of getting a few lines up.
