Who's a lucky girl then???

I never win anything! I bought some Premium Bonds for each GC, and the same number for myself. They keep receiving small cheques, but I don't! I stopped buying National Lottery tickets, but subscribe to a few charity ones with no success. I know it is always random and I count my blessings, so not really upset.

I won £10 on the lottery the other day, but that's the first time!

I don't buy lottery tickets tho occasionally bought one when they started. I buy charity raffle tickets but have always said that if I win its to go back in as I have a lifetimes worth of stuff which I am trying to shed.

I always buy raffle tickets but see it as a donation and don't expect to win. As my Grandad used to say "He who expects nothing usually gets it". he wasn't using it in this context but was right.

I'm always winning stuff! Never won the lottery though. One of the best prizes I ever won was all of the goodies pictured on a 'Voted Best Beauty Product of The Year by the Industry' double page spread in a magazine. Lasted me for years, the man stood at my door with 2 bin bags full of stuff, and as soon as I saw where it had come from (I'd had no prior notice) I knew and danced a little dance! Made him laugh. I wanted to hug him.

I suppose I am quite lucky, I make more on my premium bonds than I do on my bank account.

There was someone in my welsh village who did win many prizes. One was a house cleaning service who came in to do a top to bottom spring-clean. But that did cause the gossips to say 'well the house needed it'. She was the vicar's wife.

I won a Gransnet duvet

merlotgran Bl**dy h*ll, a Gransnet duvet?! Am most impressed, that's taking winning to extreme

Seems to me that lottery tickets were Very Exciting when they first came out -and we all thought we could possibly win the hefty sum of £10 but now I really wonder if I'd actually WANT c£100,000,000

I would.

My aunt ( 90 ) used to buy a lottery ticket until one day she thought ''What on earth would I do with all that money?'' and never bought another one!

pogs thankfully hiding under the cover of knowing I'd never win £100,000,000, I'd find it too much money to know how to deal with! The Lottery prize money is huge amounts, I'd prefer the main prize being smaller (say a measly million!) with more smaller (maybe a few more piffling little £100's). Is it just me, or do people seem to be winning less small (£50) prizes now

gooseI am well down the luck list. It would be me that if I won a raffle prize at all, would get back the unwanted item I had donated in the first place!

Not bad on the raffle front, though the posh body lotion I won last year isn't as nice as I'd hoped. Christmas 2011, a big box of chocs was great for sharing with the family. My premium bonds used to serve me well, but that income seems to have dried up recently. I very rarely 'invest' in the lottery, though the prospect of winning millions is enticing - until I look at the odds.
