Oodles of money

[Mups]

Yes 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.
