Oodles of money

Quote from: klondike on November 20, 2024, 03:45:55 PMYes I used birthday numbers. I still carried on occasionally getting lucky dips but stopped completely eventually.

I never did any good with premium bonds and gave up with them after they insisted on probate for my father's when I was doing the executor job on behalf of my mother. Nothing else required it for the surviving member of a married couple. I'd had some since I was 9 plus more as an adult and never won a penny piece.

I'm much the same as you. I gave it all up, as well.

I used to do the Lottery, and had some premium bonds, and even did that street-lottery thing, too, but got fed up keep paying out and never getting anything back.

I'd forgotten the post code lottery. I did that for a short time too. I'm not perfect.

That's the one. Postcode lottery. I couldn't remember the proper name.

I only do the lotteries to help good causes.

I think most are hoping to help the best cause of all - themselves. Buying lottery tickets is a very inefficient way of donating to charity.

Humbug

I do the lottery online every week..
My friend Dennis wrote the numbers out for me to use..
Then the silly bugger died and I still use them..
I don't know what the numbers are.. I just press 'Use last numbers' ..

Dennis wrote them down on a piece of paper.. I still have it.. but never look at it..

Surely it should show in the account what numbers you entered into each draw

How does anyone really know what percentage of the donated money ever gets spent on the actual
cause we hoped for?

I have no interest in looking at the numbers..
I entered them in the beginning.. But can't remember what they are..
I would hate it if I stopped play and the numbers came up..
I have won a few times.. but nothing to write home about..

I do the post code lottery but for my house address in Perth as we don't have a street address here.
Most I ever won on the big lottery was £130 it's only been free lucky dips since.
