Lotto thread got me thinking......

[Jaysmummy]

How many of you actually put on lotto/euro/buy scratch cards?

What's the most you've ever won?

I personally only do it occasionally, I always forget!

 

[Kate&Lucas]

I have done, once, because the checkout lady had printed too many and needed to get rid of them, and I felt bad for her. I don't like gambling so it's not really for me. My sister won £45k on online bingo a few years back, that was a good year

OH buys scratch cards and lottery tickets quite a lot now, which is odd for me cos I never used to do it. The most I've ever won is £20 on a scratch card.

 

[smileyfaces]

I buy scratch cards about once a week but most ive ever won is about 40 quid?

Only ever got three numbers on lotto which is 25. Dont put it on often though!

We try and remember to do the lotto/euro millions..
the most we have won is about £100.
But still we try xx

 

[Dragonfly]

£50 on a scratch card
£250 from a slot machine.

Just goes to show how long it's been since I put lotto on, it was a tenner for 3 numbers then!

Ironically I replied to the lottery thread but I very very rarely play it lol. Over a year since I last played and I've never physically bought a scratch card but my hubby has done a couple online before (won £10) and at work when it was somebody's birthday we used to buy a £1 scratch card to go in the card. I won £2 on that one year I think.

We are in a family syndicate. We buy a line a week along with loads of other family members. We have done this for years now.... Won about £50 over the years lol

 

[tallybee]

Really occasionally lol Ive had 4 numbers twice on Lotto, once was about 90-odd quid and the other was about 60 I think. Had 3 numbers a handful of times. Small amounts on scratchcards.

We rarely waste our money But hey, a few times a year we do buy the bigger tickets (just in case)- someone has to win eventually right? haha. I honestly wouldn't want to win millions though- just enough to pay off our house/cars/debt... that would be lovely. Maybe a little left over for a fun 2wk family vacation somewhere too wouldn't hurt

We just did the St. Patty's day lotto- it's limited, so the odds are better. We lost. Wasted $20- I think the most we ever was was $20! haha.

 

[sparkle_1979]

We do two lines on a wed and a sat. I buy the odd scratch card, maybe 2 a year. I think the most I've won is £50.

Pone of my best friends one the jackpot lottery in syndicate. As there were a lot of them in she just got around 50k

My husband does scratchers when he has a few dollars in his pocket, but the most he's ever gotten was $20, I think. And we'll get a lotto ticket or two when the jackpot gets really high.

He also likes to go to the casino He actually won enough to get me a new laptop, earlier than planned.

Someone who my OH works with will happily spend up to £100 on scratch cards on pay day. I would go absolutely mental if my oh wasted that sort of money!

My hubby is pretty good at horses and ice hockey bets lol. he never gambles huge amounts but has bought himself his macbook with the proceeds of one bet, a couple of fishing rods with another, and his bets sometimes dig us out of holes lol. I never expect him to win, obviously, but we've won more from the bookmakers than I think most people I know from the lottery.

Also, my brother once forgot to put his ticket on on Christmas Eve - 5 of his numbers came up!

 

[Zenypenny]

We play weekly the Wednesday and Saturday draws, we've had 5 numbers come up twice think the first one was £1,147 and the second time was £1,132 used to get the £10 for 3 numbers quite regularly and have had the new £25 for 3 numbers twice so far not a fan of scratch cards so don't bother with those ! Also had the odd £5 on the euro draw , as they say you've got to be in it to win it lol

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I used to play euromillions every time and we went through about 2 months of winning £5+ every time (which is more than we put on) but now I don't like to waste money as much so I only buy it if I'm in the shop and have the change on me. I don't go to the shop purposefully for a lottery ticket. And I do the occasional scratch card.
Most I've won on a scratchcard is £20
Most I've won on the lottery was £50 x

My mums cousin did it and won enough for a round of ivf and got a much longed for baby.
Personally all I've won is £10-and even then I forgot to cash it in!

Usually, mine plays with cash he's earned from odd job type things, never out of our account, so I can't really complain. Casinos just aren't my thing and I tend to view them as money holes. His couple of jackpots over the years probably don't equal as much as he's put into them.
