Re: Does anyone?

I have never bought a lottery ticket I can't bear the thought of wasting a £1 on nothing, I would rather spend it on something tangible which can be enjoyed in the here and now like some fruit or sweeties or buy premium bonds as a gamble without losing my money.

It's a good job everyone doesn't think like me or there wouldn't be a lottery

Good luck Sweep xx

Re: Does anyone?

Of course! After all, I have no delusion that I`ll actually win, so what I`m paying for is a good day-dream.
And I never watch that dreadful Draw - with the howling mob cheering numbers (what`s that about then?) because I prefer to be disappointed in private.

Strange, when I was younger I used to dream of winning the premium bonds but I don't anymore and I wouldn't particularly like to win a lot of money .

It would be nice not to have to worry about putting the heating on or what I will do when my 15 year old car finally gives up the ghost, but if I won lots of money I feel I would be sacrificing something too, the anticipation and enjoyment of little pleasures waited and saved up for .

I think maybe the dream of winning is better than the reality, enjoy your day dreaming Claire x

Re: Does anyone?

I never do the lottery here either. Although I too enjoy a good daydream about what to do with the money.

Re: Does anyone?

I only do it when its a rollover and then not always. I would spend a lot of money on our house, and buy a motorhome. Make sure that the family were OK and support a couple of charities.
