Title: National Lottery
Post by: barny on October 13, 2006, 22:16:37
Does anyone know, or know of someone who knows someone that has had a substantial win on the lottery? I was pondering this today at work, what with the triple roll over this weekend, that the lottery has been going for 10+ years and yet i've never heard anyone mention they know of someone who has won.

I'd imagine that with two draws a week over 10+ years i'd of possibly heard of a winner by know !





and no i'm not after a loan !  :roll:

There's a £9 million winner about a couple of miles away.
You wouldn't know just by looking - they live just the same as they did before.
The kids on the other hand have 'gifts'.

How many people do you know that have been struck by lightening.

After you have met 1 you should meet a Lottery jackpot winner. :!:

I know (or did know) a couple that got 5 plus bonus in the very first draw (or the 2nd not sure). £250 000. They bought thier council house, blew the rest and then lost their house to the repo men a year later.

I used to work with a guy who's cousin won big.
2 million big  :shock:
She was still quite young and naive when she won.
The boyfreind at the time (cheating g*t) took half and left.
She did the right thing with the rest though.
She brought property (10 years ago, must be worth a fortune now) and looked after her family.
Thats the closest i've every got to a winner.
I still live in hope.

My sisters mates dad won.  Lives abroad now from what I hear.

There is a big winner from the scratch cards too in Hinckley.  He still runs his shoe repair business too.

One of my previous ships we had a passenger on a world cruise who got a decent win. £10 100 000

He was a painter for the local council, worked his months notice and gave up.
He also brought the car he had dreamed of; a top of the range all bells and whistles Ford Mondeo.

Really nice guy actually.

I've won £10 three times which is quite substantial considering I manage to get no numbers drawn most weeks  :cry:
