Very rarely, if there's a mahoosive jackpot. I do it online and any winnings stay in the account to be used for the next one, I haven't had to put any money in it for a looong time.

I made the error of having the same numbers every week.

I rarely buy tickets in the shops anymore, but do have a subscription for £2/week on the saturday draw.

I've only won £10 4 times in 6 years, although each one was a heart stopping moment when I received an e-mail from them telling me "They'd exciting news about my account"

Two tickets every draw set up via Lotto website for the last year. £60 won in that time. Sometimes have a go at Euromillions. I did win £2500 on fixed odds coupon at the start of the season. woohoo

Play £3 a week on the euromillions. If I'm going for the multi million to one chance against winning, might as well go for the big jackpots.

Only in a work syndicate.

Oddswise - it's a voluntary tax on the stupid but I'm not going to miss £1 a week.

Poor man's tax. Plus Camelot are no a 'not for profit' organisation. So I can't endorse them. I was all for Branson getting it to run.

Only Euromillions whenever there's a huge pot and ALWAYS lucky dip.

Could not handle the thought of doing a regular set of numbers and forgetting to get a ticket the one time in the next 1000 years they come up.
