Sorry to piss on your (slightly just about smouldering) bonfire.

the thing is i think buying into the idea that you could be holding a ticket thats worth millions is worth it. i dont think ill ever get 4 numbers again but ill still try and hope

I once matched four numbers, but so did 32,000 other people so I got a grand total of 16 quid, even less than you did!

The odds don't match up with the pound you pay and the amount you win, but then it's the only way to win that sort of money, that an euro millions.

Not that I ever bother anyway.

I wouldn't call it big but, the best i've had was just under a grand in a syndicate at work. It was the weekend before I pulled out too as I was leaving the job. With my share of that and my leaving collection, that pound turned into a few hundred. Then I moved to Wales. You can't win them all i guess.

I won £3782.56 on the Euro millions at the beginning of last year.

Which was nice................................

The lottery is just not worth it. Ive done it a few times and won a tenner once.

I used to do the football million slip in ladbrokes which was quite good. Not sure if they still do it. I think its easier to win a million predicting the outcome of 20 football matches than picking random numbers. My mate won over £2k on it once.

Some friends devised a workable lottery system which guarantees wins on a regular basis.

It works using an algorithm a statistician friend of mine devised from an old formula used in calculating the speed stars move away from us.

Anyway, he wins of varying degrees quite often, but what it shows, is that with study you can actually predict the balls that will come out at any given time with 80% accuracy.

4 balls is easy for him and he actually once managed to match 4 and the other 2 were 1 figure too high!

He had to adjust the formula following this and going by his rough calculations he expects to get 6 balls within the next 6 months.

With all due respect Barry, how the fuck can you devise a formula that can predict which 4, 5 or six random balls will drop out of a plastic bowl.

Isn't that called guessing? Or we'd all be millionaires by now?

No it's completely true and super easy to predict the balls. I'm joining his syndicate where he guarantees 200% roi per month.

He is going to start selling a program with everything wrapped into it, so people essentially have a turn-key guaranteed lottery winning system out the box.

It's called the super-loopy-crazy-dooper-massive-lotto-profits-scooper V2.0...

Ok Barry i offer you a challenge. For one month we both pick 6 numbers for each main lottery draw on a wed and a sat and post them on here before the draw. See who makes more, your mystic meg selection or my random selection. Lets test your mates theory.

Only after he spent all night researching star-distancing algorithms and bought £10,000 worth of lottery tickets.

I am a wanker and besides, you didn't exactly fall for it Sussex, people seem to have missed Magic8ball asking for the solution.

Give Us An S - I'll speak to my friend he's bound to take up your challenge and win loads this weekend. He says he's due 5 balls.  8)
