Not sure how many people here are from Europe/UK but thought id mention it.
Anyone hear how much the lottery thing for tonight is? £125m not Dollars or Euro's but Pounds!!
Thats insane!
Ive never bought a lottery ticket in my life but i think i might have to shell out the £1.50 for a ticket tonight lol.

My next door neighbor religously buys lottery tickets each week. Probably spend at least $50 total per week when it comes to the lottery, scratchers and just small bets about who'll finish a project faster etc....
He swears by the line "One day when I hit the lottery I'm going to buy a house!"
I keep telling him "if you would have saved all that money you spend on them damn tickets, you'd have a down payment by now!!!!" I mean, he's been doing this for quite some time, far longer than I've known him. Probably bought the first lottery ticket sold here!

Yeah thats nuts, i know people who buy one or two a week.
The family i used to live beside (own a local store) the father would buy about 20 a week.
They were already freakin rich, greedy b!@#*?d, lol.

At the current sterling/dollar exchange, that would be around $200,000,000.00. Unreal!
I occasionally buy tickets if it is a big jackpot at stake. But YB is right about saving the money. Lately, when I get the urge to buy lottery tickets, I put the money in a
metal bank. I was amazed that I had about $30 in there over a month's time.
