Nothing quite like waking up to the email "Good news about your ticket" to get you resigning from your job, contacting the nearest Aston Martin garage (they still stock DB5s right) and signing up with the most exclusive estate agent you can find, before realising that the £2.70 you've just won isn't quite going to cover it all!

The most I've had was £60 and I had to share that with 8 others!

Its a bit sad but I actually asked Camelot if they could only send an email if I had won over a certain amount. Unfortunately no can do.

That would be a neat feature. Imagine if you filtered it for over £50K and you still got one of those "we've got good news" mails!

to then find out the filter didnt work properly and you still won £2.80:mmm::(



p.s they changed the email from "we have exciting news about a ticket you bought" to "we have news about a ticket"

seems Camelot took the excitement out the lottery:rolleyes:
 
What are the chances of this...

The parent of One of the pupils in my class won 1.2 million.... Less than a month later the mum of lad who sat next to him won £60000 (a share of a jackpot prize from the syndicate she was in). Needless to say I spent the next year swapping kids in and out of those chairs! I even taught the class sat in one !!!!

A version of musical chairs .:lol:
 
£25 a couple of months ago is the biggest for me. Seem to win about £3 about one in every 8 draws (I spend £6 a pop). I usually hesitate to check my account for an hour or so after getting the "we've got news" email, just to keep the hope alive a little longer.

I sat and watched as my first 5 numbers were drawn in a row, sadly that was it £1500.00. One more number would have paid out 8 million or with the bonus ball eighty thousand, which would have almost cleared my wife's visa bill .:rofl:

Similar to you I too had 5 numbers for just over £1500. The worst part was the 6th number was 21 and I had 12. It was the worst feeling of my life at the very point that I realised it was 21 upside down rising up in the machine.

Oh my god no wonder you were sad/ mad, it must have looked like you had won the big one for a split second. phew !
 
The odd tenner on the thunder ball and the odd random amount you get for two number and a lucky star on the euro millions, other than that bugger all.

An old mate and the syndicate he was in won £110,000 between 11 or them, 10k each, so he took me to the USA for a 3 week holiday, that was over 20years ago.
 
Only ever won small takings, most was 70 odd quid for 4 numbers. A guy from my village had all 6 numbers across 2 lines during a weekend rollover in the early days when the jackpot regularly exceeded £10m for a rollover, he won 2 x £10, thats sickening.

That happened to me, only difference was I had 4 on one line and 2 on the other. Also got 5 numbers on the lottery as part of a syndicate, never won a lot of money from it though, but it did pay for a good night out. :)
 
I've done the same two lines (numbers picked by my kids) since the first ever draw and £150 is the biggest win I've had for 4 numbers although I had 5 numbers one Wednesday but my ticket had expired costing me £1200!!!
my late mums friends son won £10m and a client of mine won £6m, I knew a guy who won £350,000 on the pools in the 80's which was a fair amount back then.
 
My brother, his missus and a few of her family landed the jackpot about 11 years ago, they split 5M 4 ways.
Also a bloke who drank in the same club as I did won the big one a few years after so I reckon I'm knacked now :mmm:
 
I started a syndicate at work. Now have 23 people. Currently highest owed from it is £1.75 for those that joined at the start :mmm:

Been running for 6 weeks now and small wins all but one week so far.
 
4 numbers once, my mrs spent it on a hair do.... BLoke at work won 400 grand.
