Bet they are gutted !

Members of a Belgian lottery syndicate who thought they had won 27m euros were dealt a huge blow when they found their winning numbers had not been entered.

For weeks the group of 30 players had been using the same combination for the EuroMillions jackpot.

They were overjoyed when it matched the winning numbers in Friday's draw.

But the group of friends were crushed when it turned out the person charged with buying the ticket had allowed the machine to choose random numbers.

I can imagine how disappointed I'd be or maybe totally gutted would be a better expression

Oh well...... never mind..... chuckle.
Now if it had been in America I wonder if lawyers would be involved by now

Which is why you should never use the same set of numbers twice, let alone every week - because sooner or later you'll forget/change your mind about which numbers to go for/just decide not to bother - and then kick yourself when they come up

Lucky dip all the way

Mrs Farvacque made clear her friendship with the bookshop owner would not survive the disappointment.

"Even in 20 years' time, my hair will stand up on end whenever I see her," she said.

I think murder should be legal in cases like this!

I can't imagine it, to say I'd be crushed is somewhat of an understatement, in fact the only thing worse would be if I were the one supposed to buy the ticket, not only wouldn't you have the cash, you'd also have wrecked all your friends lives
