chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I don't like looking at things like this because it seems like they're gloating about their winnings, while the rest of us have to work for our keep!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Can't help but think of Matrix when I see such lottery wins, fun but completely meaningless anomalies in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The U.K Lottery invest's in charities and projects throughout the U.KThat would all be well and good, if it wasn't for the fact they've just handed over £162m to a simpleton, for guessing a few numbers.

ChelseaChick 430 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I think if you won that amount of money you wouldn't appreciate anything anymore because nothing would be a novelty, you would get anything you wanted anytime you wanted!

The lottery is a disgrace.Remember this guy? ... http://www.dailymail...g-9-7m-win.htmlah, Michael Caroll -Kieth Allen did a good documentary on him.There was also a programme showing Camelot looking after all these lottery winners who didnt know what to do with their lives.They were all wearing hiviz jackets doing gardening organised by Camelot, all multimillionaires who were lonely. Thats the problem with the lottery it doesnt discriminate, and as for winning, it aint called the 'idiot tax' for nothing. You have as much chance of winning a jackpot as being struck by lightning TWI CE on the same day, or walking up to complete random stranger and telling them their phone number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
