From the news stories today, having a very elderly Dad who hobbles around a garden and then rinsing the subsequent publicity and donations for all it's worth seems to be a decent income.
Resulting reputational damage notwithstanding of course.
There were 26 UK millionaires created on Friday night's Euromillions.
Pretty good odds though, unfortunately, not me.
To go back to the OP, who had a notional £10k.
£10k of lottery tickets, with all prizes less than a jackpot reinvested, gives odds of winning the jackpot of 1:6,694
£10k of premium bonds held for a year, and other winnings reinvested, gives a chance of winning £1m of 1:516,555 but of course you'd still have the £10k+winnings for more attempts next year if you didn't win.
£10k on roulette, if you just play red/black until you pass £1m or lose it all gives odds of 1:5,352.

I won £2.60.
Which makes a profit of 10p once I take into account the cost of the ticket in the first place. Go me!
