To ask have you ever won big on the lottery/scratchcards?

[river90]

Just that really!? Anyone ever won big or know anyone who has? I play the lottery and buy the odd scratchcard but never won more then £30! Just wondering if it actually happens to normal people like me lol

I've never won more than £1 on scratch cards and £10 on the lottery. I rarely win raffles etc either.

I've won 30 quid a couple of times and got 140 for four numbers recently. I get a lucky dip on a Saturday most weeks.

Family member won £56k on the main lottery draw.

£50 once, but I rarely but them so that was pretty good!

I won £1k on a scratch card many many years ago

Once got a scratch card on my birthday and won 100 quid! Most I've ever won.

Most I’ve had is £72 for 4 numbers on Lotto.

Nothing big unfortunately. The most is £100 on a £1 scratch card just before Christmas. I buy them once every few months, usually win £1 back.

I know someone who won a million on a scratch card. She had lived happily on the same council estate all her life. She ended up buying a big house a few miles away, said her friends were jealous of her and she ended up lonely rattling around in a big house by herself with no visitors. I found it really sad

£1000 on the first scratch
card I ever bought. I was out of work at the time and had gone to the supermarket to look for reduced produce. I was in the queue to pay and something told me to buy a green monopoly scratchcard. I got home and reluctantly played it. Was Easter Sunday so I took my mate for a roast in the local gastro-pub.

won was £56 for 4 numbers on lottery about 20 years ago. I buy scratch cards occasionally. Normally win a £1or maybe £2. Then spend it on more cards and lose.

Yes my mate won, (well her boyfriend did) He gives her an allowance and they holiday a lot.
I won £18k on a gameshow 10 years ago

I haven’t (and I stopped playing once they increased the numbers) but a lovely neighbour won 250k+ She had an autistic son who had just turned 18 and she really feared for his future. It totally put her mind at ease that when she goes he’ll be supported. She was on her own with him so it took away one of her biggest fears.

£2500 on the lottery years ago. A colleague at the time won £6000 on a scratch card the week they were rolled out!

Our work syndicate of 19 won £20k a few years ago. A local pharmacy team I worked with won millions in the very first year. All the staff retired but the pharmacist bought the business and is still there.

I can’t believe you could win as little as £56 for 4 numbers on the lottery! I check DPs for him when he buys them and he rarely gets 1 match!

Most I've won is £40 but someone I know won £3m on a scratchcard and they said it's one of the worst things that's ever happened to them, they live in a flashy big house miles away from where they used to live and they don't really speak to any family or friends

Won £30 twice on Set for Life, £2.90 on EuroMillions, plus a few free tickets on the Lotto.
Gotta be in it to win it!

Personally no, but I know someone who won the jackpot. So it does happen!

I won 40 once!

Won 100 quid in a Facebook raffle!

My family member won 25 grand on a scratch card once.

I live near one of the euro million winners, can’t remember how much but it was millions! They are lovely people

My mum won £250k on the Rollerball lottery some years ago. She used the numbers off her Sainsbury’s loyalty card. She and dad treated themselves to a new three price suite with (some of) the money. Bless her, they were both in their 80’s at the time, so a new sofa was just about all they wanted to buy.

The staff of a local children’s hospice won the jackpot, a few million between the nursing staff, none of them left work and the whole community were delighted for them.

I've only played a handful of times and won a tenner a couple of times. I know someone who won almost £50million on euro millions. I used to teach her. She was a nice kid.

I’m my previous career I met a lot of lottery winners. Most I have ever won is £40. 😒
