Anyway, tomorrow morning when I’ve won the £200m jackpot tonight, I’ll post on here and ask what you all want.
My cunning plan failed due to a slight discrepancy between the numbers that I picked and the ones which dropped out the machine.
I did however get three main numbers which was the princely sum of £8.10.
But a fair way short of £200m.
£4.50 for me
£3.20 that’s me retiring
As an occasional Euro lucky dip buyer Mrs IRC has strange logic. She must have a ticket when the jackpot is huge. As if just winning a couple of million isn't worth the hassle.

Someone somewhere is having an unreal weekend, good luck to them.
At least you won something. I think once you accept that the lottery is a tax to fund things the government doesn't want to pay for, with the very slim chance of some sort of return, then any return is welcome.
Well done OP on your windfall, don't spend it all in the one shop.

Winning ticket was bought in Austria apparently.
I'd like to see a national lottery where it was non profit and the maximum you could win was a million pounds, with the odds of winning being something like 4-5 million to one. And if there is no winner that week then the money is split for the folk who matched 5 numbers.
I had this today - woke up to the news about your ticket email. £8.10. Balls.
As much as I wouldn’t complain if I won it, 200 million is a frankly obscene amount of money for one person to win.
5 numbers twice for me years ago. £1711 and £1722 which was nice but could have been so much better!
£30 the other day. Spent it on bottom brackets and other consumables from the CRC sale.
Started playing the euromillions hotpicks, which if you normally get the low number wins seems a better chance of at least getting something more worthwhile. 2 numbers on the regular euro' is about £2.50, but 2 numbers on hotpicks is £100. I've had a host of 1 number, which on regular is nothing, but on hotpicks is a tenner, and a 2 number which was a happy hundred.
I see the £200m was won by someone in Austria. Well done that person, or syndicate or whatever. Hope they didnt have a heartattack after realizing 😆

Depends what you do with it. There's a LOT of good a person could do with that money and still have plenty to live a very comfortable life with.
I've reinvested some of my £8.10 winnings from last night into a ticket for tonight's draw.
A few months ago I went through a phase of winning a Lucky Dip every draw for about 6 weeks.
I'm obviously on another one of those phases.
The Wednesday draw, I won a Lucky Dip to last night's draw.
And last night I won... another Lucky Dip.
