Title: Re: euromillions Post by: Cookie on Friday, May 25, 2012, 09:52:39 Odds of winning jackpot 116 million to 1, best of luck.
Title: Re: euromillions Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, May 25, 2012, 09:54:48 Odds of winning jackpot 116 million to 1, best of luck. But annoyingly...somebody does win it! Title: Re: euromillions Post by: pericarp on Friday, May 25, 2012, 10:27:55 Yeah.. Individually, the odds are absolutely crap and never would you win it.
But then that one person does win it. What is he? God? Title: Re: euromillions Post by: Flashheart on Friday, May 25, 2012, 10:31:19 Jackpot 70 million yo-yos - come to daddy!! Not sure what I'd do with 70 million yo-yos myself. I'd much rather just be paid in cash instead. Title: Re: euromillions Post by: kerry red on Friday, May 25, 2012, 12:09:03 Odds of winning jackpot 116 million to 1, best of luck. Yeah, but I've got 5 lines - almost certain to win :pint: Title: Re: euromillions Post by: Batch on Friday, May 25, 2012, 12:15:46 I got a lucky dip but I suspect its fixed. In my life I must have bought a dozen or more tickets, but non have won. Do the math. 100% of my tickets have failed. I'm looking at you Camelot, if that is your real name.

Some people have quite the luck it seems: Quote from: The Telegraph Joan Ginther won £6.2m with the top prize from a scratch card bought from a store in Texas, pushing her total winnings to more than £14m Her first multi million payout came in 1993 when she won £8m from a £20 scratch card. Mrs Ginther chose to take £180,000 a year for 19 years after paying tax on her win to give her a total prize of £3.6m. In 2006 she won a further £1.4m and again opted for a lump-sum payment of £1m after paying tax on the winnings. Two years later the 63 year-old who lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, scooped a further £2m. Incredibly, three of the tickets were bought from the same small convenience store in the town of Bishop, Texas. Title: Re: euromillions Post by: Batch on Friday, May 25, 2012, 12:22:59 I remember Joan Ginther's name. Wasn't she a maths teacher or something that had "a system", i.e. claimed it was more than luck. Though I think the gaming companies had more serious suspicions.
edit: yup! and the actual odds of doing what she did were "one in eighteen septillion. If this were 'luck,' it could only happen once every quadrillion years". http://www.opposingviews.com/i/entertainment/lucky-lotto-winner-joan-ginther-math-professor-stanford-degree# http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2025069/Joan-Ginther-Maths-professor-hits-multi-million-scratchcard-lottery-jackpot-4-times.html Title: Re: euromillions Post by: jutty274 on Friday, May 25, 2012, 12:26:35 I won last tuesday, £6.40. I will do mine later. If i won i would give The Flash £20 so he could get a round in.

Yeah some of these scratchcards are evidently 'gameable' to a degree. Quite an interesting - if lengthy - article about it here http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/01/ff_lottery/all/1 Title: Re: euromillions Post by: kerry red on Friday, May 25, 2012, 13:00:48 Well, if, sorry when, I win tonight my first purchase will be that lot down the A420 and I will grind them into the dust until they are getting dicked by the Toot and Whistle 3rd XI.
Don't care how many hundreds it costs me Title: Re: euromillions Post by: Batch on Friday, May 25, 2012, 13:12:17 until they are getting dicked by the Toot and Whistle 3rd XI. They already managed this themselves a couple of seasons ago. Title: Re: euromillions Post by: pericarp on Friday, May 25, 2012, 13:14:01 If I will I'll donate 10 million to STFC.
