Thing is, everyone is going crazy spending on the Euro one, that means there aren`t as many buying the National game, ie more chances to win..

As James says - doesn't matter how many people play - just effects the jackpot amount negatively. Your numbers are your numbers and the winning numbers are the winning numbers - not affected by anyone else at all.

Don't get me wrong - that amount of money would make life a dream - but i think i'd miss the sense of "i want that - but i'll never be able to afford it"...

I wouldn't be able to gaze in awe at supercars...

If i won it - i'd give some of it to charity - money can't buy you happiness, but it can make the world a better place

not being funny but with £100,000,000 you can do just about anything!!!! ive had a dream for a while now (if i won that is) to build my own track somewhere, with lots of car orientated things to do. like 0-60's quarter mile timings, doughnut ring (just for fun), drift events and things like that!would provide old bangers for people to rag, group meets, nat days, and that sort of thing!!!!!!

Just a thought. HOw many possible combinations are there?? isnt it something like 14 million?? buy 14 million tickets and assuming not too many other people one you could still be up some good amounts of money?

or not?

Don't say he lost a winning ticket

Or depressing in that he knows someone who won and it ruined their lives?

Stu it had better not be another one of those "I always buy a ticket with the same numbers but one week I forgot and the numbers came up" stories that you hear every day

Anyway, I bought a Euro ticket, thought since I was in the shop for once it'd be rude not too.... I don't wanna win the jackpot tho... Well, I mean I wouldn't say no if I DID win it, but all I want is enough to buy a nice house, a tasty car (RS6 please!!!) and live comfortably. I don't even desire to win enough I never have to work again - as I don't mind working, and I'm bored as SHIT sat at home with fuck all to do Just enough to live nicely and comfortable with all the unimportant material possesions I desire Yes I am THAT shallow
