£15 on the Postcode Lottery 😊. What shall I buy?

I would invest that in a chunk of vintage cheddar and a jar of pickled onions. If you're feeling fancy, get some cocktail sticks too.

You should be able to get ten litres of diesel for that up North.

Congrats! Treat yourself to some Lurpak - it was only £8 in my local Tesco 😳

Club together with the neighbours for a Halloween party?

Coffeeishot · 19/09/2025 16:47

Treat yourself to some fancy butter you might get 2 packets!

Beats my 2.70 from euromillions on Tuesday!

Spookyspaghetti · 19/09/2025 16:47

Treat yourself to a packet of mince! 😜

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.

We won last year. First time it was 3 boxes of rituals hand cream sets, second time it was 3
£3,000 and the third time it was £36 quid back (or however much it costs to have 3 entries).
I said to dh we should probably cancel it now!

Ah, you beat me to it 😂 Fortunately Lidl’s dupe is nicer!

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

🤣🤣🤣

When I've won its just disappeared into the black hole that is my bank account.

Congratulations! We "won" an oven glove from The Postcode Lottery at Christmas last year. Sent recorded delivery too, very fancy pants. It was everything we could have hoped for....

Well actually no, it was a yellow flowery glove that didn't match our kitchen colour scheme whatsoever but my Mum was very happy with being gifted it.

RomainingCalm · 19/09/2025 16:51

It's a shame it's the lottery rather than winning it on The Chase. From what I can gather the contestants on there can buy a campervan, take the family to Florida and get a new kitchen for around £15.

Look op, I don't think you are a terrible person for flaunting your unearned wealth, but it would make you look a lot better to share it with someone less fortunate than yourself. I'll PM you my bank details so you can do the right thing...

LinedOverLatte · 19/09/2025 16:53

Take up an expensive and really niche [outing] hobby, then come back and tease us about it and see if we can

(A) guess what it is

(B) see if you’ve met any Mumsnet DHs at said ‘outing’ hobby

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.

Mars bars are a slippery slope… soon you’ll find your picture on the local Facebook page, crouched behind a wall at 9am with a £1.35 Dairy Milk duo.

Did Jeff come to your house with his camera crew and a giant cheque? Are you going to be in the advert laughing and quaffing champagne?

cheap bottle of wine and a portion of chips

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 19/09/2025 17:30

A large glass of wine in a pub.... you'll have to forgo the crisps though.

I've read the first three posts, but I'm already retired, don't eat meat and I'm certainly not having a bloody vajazzle!
