It's for day dreamers!

My dad still does it at 81 , no idea why, he can barely walk , it's not like a new body is available for 150k

I dread to think how much he's spent on it over the last 20 years, probably in excess of £15,000

It really is a mugs game, the euro millions makes me laugh, ticket sales go through the roof when it's a triple rollover €120,000,000

Like €50,000,000 isn't enough

Do none of them ever think hang on, they've sold millions of tickets all across Europe for 2 draws and nobody won

Even the chance of somebody in your town winning it must be millions to one .

do you not think maybe he would get some enjoyment of setting up his family for life, and witnessing that for his last few years? Maybe he's thinking that, rather than just doing it for himself?

Yeah! Maybe if you worked harder he wouldn't feel the need to play!

Turning out the drawers, as you do, I came a cross this old piece of history. For those old enough to remember, before the lottery we all dreamed of picking the eight draws on the football pools. It was the only way to win big money. Well, here's the proof of my success - 24 points, eight draws and a first dividend. Except, as you'll see, there were 17 draws that weekend and the sum did not change my lifestyle!

1989 was a bit crap
