funny thing the lottery isnt it, i picked some numbers yonks ago, cant even remember how we picked em, i renew online normally pay a tenner for 10 sat draws, anyways never won a sodding thing, oh apart from once when we had a break were i forgot to renew for a few months and when i looked back online we would of won 70 quid lol


but even tho we never win fuck all the law of averages says we should win something so i still persist paying the way doing the do and spending my hard earned, even the other month i was on there website i uploaded a tenner and done some scratch cards and spend a few quid on a few wed luck dips, as usual won fuck all, would be nice to atleast win something aye lol

I have a subscription so mine will be on, but wanted some lucky dips..... no chance, everything's off-line.

Its a bit of a rip-off really cos it just let me add funds to my account... but won't let me buy anything....lol

I went round the paper shop earlier, machine was down, went up to Smiths and the machine was down.

I finally got it put on in Somerfield.

Then my mum just rang to ask me if I could try and put hers on online as she couldn't get it on anywhere, and the website half-works but keeps crashing right at the last moment.

A message on the lottery website said: "Our Draw Games are closed. Why not try our exciting Instant Win Games?"
thats a fucking insult to be honest to all the morons who play the lottery,,,,,, own up who fell for it then???
