Desperate I am.

Cant retire, retirement age is through the roof. Im knackered.

Cant do anything else

So is it foolish to start essentially gambling?

Who plays the lottery these days. Just gone into the website and theres this game, that game, this game that game

And I thought it was still a pound a ticket!!!

Don't bother there's only one winner Camelot.

Ive just started the lottery but don't do the instant games, they are a total waste of money and addictive

Bedheadbeachbum · 15/10/2025 21:24

We have a direct debit to Camelot for many years, haven't got addicted. I think of it as a charity thing anyway as they donate to lots of causes.

We also hold Premium Bonds and once a month I do a scratchy which is a massive waste of time but still I do them.

Those online gambling games and apps are something I'd never do, asking for trouble.

I put £25 a month into Premium Bonds. You've still got the slim chance of winning big prizes but you can get the money back if you need it.

One doesn’t “play” the lottery

The lottery plays them

The chances of winning are so tiny it is really just a waste of money.

Well done! I can guarantee you are in a minority though.
My oh has played for years and won absolutely nothing
