I just bought two tickets for this. I could really use ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£85,000,000

Anybody else joining in tonight? Imagine winning ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£85million!!!

No - money can't buy happiness - but you could certainly be miserable in comfort!

Must admit I haven't bought a ticket - in fact I think I've only ever bought one lottery ticket so far! Might have to pop to Tesco then!

Well it could be closer to ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£95m

That would buy a lot of golden wonder

That would make you richer than the Beckhams (Indecent Proposal spring to mind

)

I've bought my tickets - I only ever do the lottery when it gets up to a decent

amount.

I would say good luck to everyone - but this time its mine!!

I did mine and the impromptue work syndicate by text as our work WebSense deceided that the port443 part of the lottery site was a categorised as gambling.

Mmm I could do with that just now, ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£85,000,000 it could earn me alot of interest each week, somewhere in the region of ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£120,000 per week that's just interest alone in a normal bank account.

nobody won it, so it is an estimated ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100,000,000 wow someone is going to be very lucky indeeed.

This is getting rather silly now. They should do like the lotto - set a maximum number of weeks for rollovers before the prize gets split amongst the next tier of winners.

Gareth · 20-01-2006, 23:44

Nice idea, but they should not implement it until I've won the £100M

Matthew · 20-01-2006, 23:48

I wish I could of won, no numbers at all this time, what a pain. Always next week.

i must say i disagree

good luck to whoever wins it i say!

however none of us on here are likely to win it IMO, i forgot all about it this week! until i say this thread, must remember to do it at some point, if i won it id pay my parents mortgage off!

by the way anyone have the same inkling that its all rigged ?

They have...

If this gets to 10/2 (a 1/25 year chance) then some trickle down occurs to the other winners to divvy out the spoils.

Quote:

if there is no Jackpot winner on week 12 of a roll series, the total Jackpot amount will be distributed amongst any winners in the next winning prize tier of that draw.

So if that was this week it would have been distributed in an 18 way split to the match 5 + 1 star winners.
