Once again it's a massive jackpot at £85m, first time they're doing it on a Tuesday too! So, with that much money, what cars will you buy? I know this question crops up every time one of these massive jackpots comes up, but hey ho. One condition, any cars you link to must be for sale in the PH Classifieds

For me, I'd turn up to uni in this thing tomorrow:

and have this for the everyday car:

and then, for the OH:

Weekend car:

And for when kids eventually arrive:

Over to you guys


ETA sod it. I'll take this thing too http://pistonheads.com/sales/2788350.htm

Well I won something on the Euromillions. Sadly wasn't the £85m, but I won a whole £2.60! Christ, that's not even enough for fish n chips these days!

That's better than nothing though. Should be enough for a (small) drink or so!

Yeah, its the first night that that's the case. The price you pay is that the chances of getting the jackpot has now moved from 72m:1 to 116m:1.

So, Friday's £107m jackpot will soon be a common occurance by my reckoning, particularly as it rolled over loads when it was 'just' 72m:1

Well at least I haven't thrown any money away, but didn't know adding two lucky stars would change the odds that much!

No, most people wouldn't!

That's what I make it anyway. To get all 5 main numbers, the odds are 2,118,760:1.

To get two lucky stars 1-9 is 36:1, so 2,118,760*36 = 76,275,360
To get two lucky start 1-11 is 55:1, so 2,118,760*55 = 116,531,800.
