Winning the Lottery

[LottoWinner]

I'm winning the double rollover tonight - got my ticket and feeling spectacularly lucky. Previous tickets I've hoped to win haven't come through, so I'm going into tonight with confidence and seeing if that makes a difference.

Planned out my winnings which covers the 5 mil ~ dream house purchase, enough to invest and draw on for a decent style of living for the rest of my life, helping family/friends clear their mortgages/debt. Buying a Birkin 😎

AIBU to ask what I'd be sending you with some of the rest? I have about £400,000 to play with, though want to spread it around a bit. Only overly indulgent gifts you'd never buy yourself but secretly really, really want are allowed.

Which works perfectly for me since with your luck you'd have won that too so thank you 🤣

Ooo I'll have all new home appliances and a mini convertible please 🥰🥰

Ooooh may I please please please have a raccoon :-) I've always wanted a trash panda.

Ooh can I please have a sofa bed for my front room so that I can have friends over to stay? You could also use it to crash while you're touring the UK distributing gifts like a particularly glamorous Santa! I also want to know which Birkin you've chosen!

Can I have a trip to Tokyo pretty please🇯🇵?

Please please please when you win may I have a small campervan with a woodburning stove....currently sofa surfing/car sleeping and a camper would be a luxury

My (nowhere near driving age) DS would like a grey Audi A3 if that’s okay? Thanks

A pair of Siamese chocolate point kittens please, with blue eyes. One male and one female. I already have the names - Roman & Minnie Cats-evet (Rosemary’s Baby fan!)

Perfect. Your friend is my friend 😁

New teeth, I'll bite whoever you want me to, wherever you want me to and dress up in novelty costumes while doing it, for the rest of your life.

Alright so update: We won! .... a free lucky dip for Saturday. Howeverrrr the jackpot for Saturday is £15 mil which ups our budget (I'll still be happy with the 5, so 10 to play with 😉)

Obviously leaning into this being some master plan to ensure my winning vibes cover everything on this thread as we're definitely over £400,000 now 😂

I wouldn't hold your teeth hostage forever, but maybe you can come on the trip to intimidate @CleansUpButWouldPreferNotTo horrible neighbours into moving, and then we don't have to give them cash to do so!

SO FREAKING CUTE! Will definitely be involved in the personal delivery of those 🤞

My (also nowhere near driving age) DS is also desperate for an Audi, maybe we get them matching ones? Plus a huge empty, padded car park to drive them in 😂

Oh great so glad the plan is still on track OP thanks so much for confirming I'll let the builders know to hold off a couple of months

Yay to keeping the dream alive

I won! A lucky dip for Saturday. For matching two numbers, which I didn’t know was a thing. Better than nothing I suppose.

A rabbit mansion for my pampered pets. Walk in encloser and shed with some heat so that I can sit out with them and not freeze. Pretty please 😇

Ohhh this sounds incredible! Hard yes to the rabbit mansion 😍

Sounds lovely! We'll get lots of squishy pillows too.

Here's my dream Birkin... https://www.vestiairecollective.com/women-bags/handbags/hermes/birkin-35/?productid=51276567&setLocale=4.en.GBP&authfee=false&utmmsource=google&utmmedium=cpc&utmmcampaign=21838701820&gadsource=1&gbraid=0AAAAADSZTnLp9xvlW-AP1IZKXe-4GTSFp&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4-y8BhC3ARIsAHmjCCFzoa2hpTJeMAX-CMjQx2xppOYswBzdfJaOftOZJHhk5c0d-PuI3f4aAiSDEALwwcB ~ could not spend that sort of ridiculous money on a plain bag 😂

Which National Lottery game has best odds?

Set for Life?
Thunderball?

They say avoid numbers 1-31 as calendar dates, birthdays, anniversaries etc. Any other tips?

It will happen! Eventually 😂

Honestly no idea. But yes I'd assume the lower jackpots have slightly better odds!

Manifesting doesn't ever seem to work for me but congratulations in advance on your win op! You've had a lot of regrets so I won't be greedy
I'd just like a couple of hundred to be able to live a little please 😌 the cost of living is really piling up and I'm going without things to put my children first so just a couple of hundred please 🙏 🩷

I know of a syndicate who won the jackpot & 5 plus bonus around 1994. They had a system that meant the odds were massively in their favour & syndicate was big. Ten extra numbers were later added to prevent this sort of thing I think (?) There’s a USA movie on a similar theme.
