Think all you had to do was text win I enter that one every week so that gives me a bit of hope. Just remembered I’d won four tickets through Sky VIP for the Fleetwood away game that never happened this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough to retire on but enough to pay off the mortgage and put a few quid away. How many numbers did you get? I've always thought there must be something bitter sweet about getting five or five and the bonus ball Or worse still getting 6 then finding out you have to share it with 40 others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of £10k a month for the next 30 years, he got £240. Bit of a step down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was one of 7 or 8 winning tickets. Still a chunk that we didn't have before though.

Whitestar Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 A woman who lives near me drives around in a mini that says all over it WIN A MINI and loads of other writing regarding marketing for whatever its advertising. Thing is, this mini is 13 reg, i always wondered if she won it and got the actual car or if it is some ongoing competition with no closing date so nobody ever wins.

I didn’t win Organised an open day at Bolton Fire Station where one of the money-makers was going to be a stall throwing 6 dice. We got a local car sales place; I think it was Gordons, to donate a car with the proviso we had an insurance against it being won. I think the insurers wanted about £700 one-off premium if it was only 6 It went down to about£300 if we used 7 dice and only one throw. We didn’t bother.
