Yep same here.
Being totally honest I'd be over the moon with even a £1k win
I'd be balls deep if it was £25k win
£1m well that's potentially retirement now funds
£5m -£15m amazing houses and exotic lifestyle

£166m um that's crazy money. Win that and you could pay for 80 miles of a motorway to be resurfaced.... I guess local businesses could reward me

I think it get drawn about 10pm GMT. I'm gutted because i forgot to buy a ticket today, but like others have said, £166m is probably too much to win.

Just £40 worth of tickets? You'd have a higher chance if you bought more

I think the odds are 147 million to one IIRC but that hasn't stopped me buying a LD.

I am the only one who only buys lucky dips becasue I couldn't cope with having 'my' set of numbers come up but not bought a ticket. With LD I have no idea that I might have won or not.

Edit, this is the odds for the jackpot: 1 in 116,531,800

£166m is really too much for one person to spend.

But I aim to have a damn good crack at it, starting tomorrow all being well.......

I only ever play the lottery when the jackpot goes above £150m.

I mean, I know I'm never going to win it or anything, but when the jackpot's that high, it'd be wrong not to have a go. 'tis only a couple of quid, after all.

I think I'd spunk about £14m on seven McLaren F1's - one for every day of the week, just because I could.

And then I could have a "Mondeoman1981 is this one of your McLarens" thread cool

Buying 20 tickets makes a negligible difference to the odds of you winning. More chances, obviously, but you're not decreasing the odds by a factor of 20.

Best off just buying the one.

I bought 1 lucky dip last Friday. It won me £2.80. I reinvested £2.00 in a lucky dip for tonight.

Oh I know that - just takes a little longer to check them through plus more to charity
