Making plans

13 October 2006 by Tim 8 Comments

This week seems to be rollover week and I generally only buy lottery tickets for rollovers. The Euromillions fund is at £54,000,000. I have splashed out and bought a whole two tickets. More or less guaranteed to win then. Also a triple rollover on the UK lottery, of £20,000,000, I have bought another two tickets so will probably win that one as well.

Now I am trying to work out how I am going to spend it all, I can see it could be hard work, if I stick it in my savings account, I will need to blow £73,000 a week just to stand still. That is an awful lot of beer and chocolate.

    Lotteries, as they say, are a tax on people who don’t understand probability, more commonly known as ‘the stoopid’.

    Try doing the sums on Saturday’s triple rollover prize fund.

    So do you want publicity? 😆

    Going for total secrecy. Don’t suppose anyone will notice the difference.

    Chris, I’m sure I worked out once that (for a non-tax payer at least) you’re better off ‘investing’ (HA!) in the national lottery than in premium bonds, though. I never could work out how they get away with that. Well, either, actually.
