Well, the odds on winning are 116 million to 1. With 50 of us that reduces it down to about 2.3 million to 1.

Happy days!

...assuming everyone honours it and buys a ticket!

And when the money ship sails in, honours to buy 49 other people a car!

Whoa, there was no rquirement to buy a ticket, this was a plain offer by the OP to spend his odd million on the first 50 greedy bast*rds to put their name down.

I don't do the lottery because nobody ever picks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and neither have they ever come up though are just as likley to. That should puts the odds into perspective. Overall, I tend to be about as lucky as a Jimmy Savile victim who has just been offered a place in a North Wales children's home.

With a possible jackpot win of £121m, it's very unlikely, but, I've bought the ticket and will gladly honour my commitment of buying 49 others a car from the jackpot winnings!

I've said previously I'll willingly up my "gift" to £50k per car if the recipient chooses an Alfa!!! That will be a maximum exposure of £24.5m, now, let me think, I'm going to have to be careful here...... reign myself in and eke out spending the remaining... £96m - how will I survive on that? I'll admit that, it it were to happen, the pleasure of working with 49 other PHers to buy some cars to put smiles on faces would be a worthwhile experience to while away those hours left void of any purpose after DITCHING THE 9 - 5, so absolutely NO complaints from me and dream on till Friday night. Sat morning, back to reality ..........

If we do it, and the winner is honest, and stumps up, now that WOULD make a good news story.....

The word syndicate normally right there in the title is the clue, everyone knows how a lottery synidcate works.


It's a bit of fun that says should I not win, how awesome would it be if someone else bought me a car worth £20k and yet if I do win I'd make 50 people happy for the sum of fk all.

If it was just giving random people cars then I think we all agree you'd need some cracking tits and to be very appreciative.

If by appreciative you mean 'good in the sack and not getting enough of it', than you are right.

A 432 or a 432R would be even better but a bit beyond the 20k limit frown
Too slow mate. I'm on that one before you... smile

I thought the point of this thread was if you win, you buy. I'd honour it. And will happily spend £10 on tickets. (not that I'll win anything useful. Think the most I've ever won was oooo 43 whole english pounds. Get in there sir. Retirement sorted.)

as usual when it gets to be a insane pay out like this Friday I buy a couple of tickets in the hope that I can be the luckiest guy in Europe that evening. well if I am to win the big one I'll hold true to the first 50 in here, even up it to £50,000 per person as its not like it will be missed from £121,000,000 really wink
