Ok so it was only £2 on a scratchcard I bought last night, but its the first time I have ever won any cash!

Not that great an acheivement when my gambling history consists of the odd scratchcard once in a very blue moon and the occasional lotto ticket.

Has anyone on PH ever won any serious money?

I've probably gained more from gambling than lost, thats because last year i joined a few betting websites that give free bets for how much you put on, i made about £300 out of it biggrin I'm not a gambler in the traditional sense.

How much was the ticket? Did you win £2 or £1? (i.e was the prize £2 or £3?)

Like I said, im not a regular buyer of such products, In my lifetime I have perhaps bought a handful, but if you are correct in your generalisation I suppose that makes me a handful more 'council' that yourself, so congratulations to you, and I bow in the face of your obvious class and culture

as you were

Good point, I suppose I have only gained £1 as the prize was £2 and the ticket price £1 but don't ruin it!

Council and uppity.

Not an appealing combination.

I won nearly 2k on the Lottery a few years ago. That was a nice present (well it was for my family who all got presents!).

I've won some good bets.

£5 bet on a 100/1 shot.

Also, recently, £5 on Burnley to beat Spurs 3-0 and won over £300.

I think I'm quite good at betting.

I won £20 on a scratch card. It was very welcome at the time as I didn't fancy lectures so went and played pool/got pissed at the student union.

Going by how long I have to always queue behind someone making a huge lottery/scratch card transaction whenever I just want to buy a paper on Saturday mornings at the local, yes. It would seem some people think so.
