I’ve won £15 as well they have sent it to me twice so I need to think carefully how to spend my £30 don’t want to fritter away my winnings

I'm so miffed. I've done the post code lottery for 12 months and not won a bean!!

Go to Oxfam, and buy 2 Primark tops that are priced higher than they were when new.

£15.
You can buy a pair of replacement 3D printed feet for an Ikea Trollberget desk stool.

Guess what I had to order last night.......☹️

I won £35 (two prizes in a week) so I'm going to shop at Waitrose - for a loaf of bread.

Be careful because you are going to get begging DM's from CF Mumsnetters.
Never flaunt your wealth @Beeinalily

Whatever you do, pause for a moment. Don’t let it go to your head.
A lot of people are making very rash decisions here.
Once you’ve paused, spend it on a crunchie and a mars bar, enjoy and move on with your life.

£15 worth of penny sweets - its what I always said I would do when I was a kid and now as an adult, it still feels right!

Get financial advice, don't blow it or your story will be in Take a break
My lottery win hell!!

Blimeyorange · 19/09/2025 16:20

Definitely get a financial advisor, but only the ones who recommend Bitcoin and then charge you £400.

I won The Post Code Lottery once. The winnings arrived in a massive padded envelope. I wondered if they'd folded up one of those massive novelty cheques. Alas! It was not to be! (what I'd actually won was three tubes of hand cream - I shit you not)

A friend of mine won thirty grand on the PC lottery though, and another (very close) friend won a million on the Euromillions, both in the last couple of years. I feel like they've used up all the good luck for this area, because of course that's how it works.

Blimeyorange · 19/09/2025 16:22

My reply has been hidden! Is it because I made a joke about the Bit🪙 word?

PlaceIntheClouds · 19/09/2025 16:23

750g of mince at a push.

Get financial advice.

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 19/09/2025 16:24

I got a chocolate bar that they’re going to post. I have won £12 this year already though. Better than what I manage on the normal lottery 😕.

itsgettingweird · 19/09/2025 16:25

I love MN for threads like this.

Lurpack , Olive oil and a MN chicken 🤣

Whateverwillwedonow · 19/09/2025 16:27

I forgot to say the mn usuals

’You are being tone deaf flaunting your wealth’

’Read the room op, others are having to wash their potatoes in old rice water’

Ilovepastafortea · 19/09/2025 16:28

This is one of those posts where we wish we had the laugh emoji back MN please take note. 😉

I'd invest it carefully - you don't want to go mad and spend it all at once. 😂

Ilovepastafortea · 19/09/2025 16:30

I won 50p on an impulse bought scratch card. Not told family or friends in case I'm expected to pay their mortgages off.

Have an appointment with an investment company to work out how best to invest my winnings. 😂

REP22 · 19/09/2025 16:31

The way prices are going, why don't you take your winnings to Asda and treat yourself to an egg? x

ruffler45 · 19/09/2025 16:31

Most I have won lately is a lucky dip

lurpak.

cooroocoocoo · 19/09/2025 16:37

Isn't the postcode lottery about £10/month?

On the plus side you are now only -£105 for the year.

I do buy the occasional lottery ticket, so I do understand buying the right to dream.

Oh my god me too

are we neighbors?
