To be irritated with the national lottery?

[youknowmedontyou]

So I buy my tickets on line, not sleeping well and checked my phone at 3 I know this won't help with sleeping!

An email tells me I've won a prize.... but the bloody website is down!

So have I won £25 or £113m?

Does anyone have tonight's numbers?

I'm wide awake now spending money I've probably not even won!

🙄

Reminds me of the first time I played online and the next day got an email saying ‘EXCITING news about your ticket’. I could hardly breathe and my hand was shaking so much I couldn’t control the mouse properly. I won ten pounds yet was bitter and fuming for the entire day that they’d raised my hopes up like that.

You haven’t won 113m because next weeks jackpot is 144m (and mine, btw, so I wouldn’t bother buying a ticket)

Oh no! I need to adjust my spending then if it's not £113m, I'll go cancel the yacht.

It's going to be £25 obvs!

I won ten pounds yet was bitter and fuming for the entire day that they’d raised my hopes up like that.

I got the same email while I was on holiday, had to wait THREE days before I could log in and I’d won two pounds bloody sixty!!

I thought my teenagers were going to die laughing!

3 numbers has gone up to £30 :)
I got 3 the other week. My dad gets emails like that one you had and it says the same whether it's a pound or a million. Bit misleading really.

Here we go op

It was £25 ..... ah well!

Oh you're right it's £39!!

£30 even!!

I get irritated by the national lottery. I've carefully budgeted for my jackpot. Made all the arrangements. I'd be a very responsible winner. And I never win I normally don't buy a ticket, but hey.

youknowmedontyou I actually rather like Schrödinger's Lottery ticket. For those few hours before the servers come back up I can happily fantisise about what I will do with the winnings.
