stupid to even bother playing when the jackpot is high, you have a much better chance when it's low.

Huh? Mathematically aren't the chances the same?

Hmm... I think i've only played the lottery once in my life when I just turned 16.

Just tried registering with Lotto to play this... does a full voter register check, and I'm not listed for my current address... meaning I can't fucking pay online... fucking jokers...

Why do they need such checks when I could just go to a local shop and buy the tickets there? ???

I can't be arsed with the whole thing no matter how high the jackpot gets. If I were to win 120 million, imagine the upheaval and stress it would cause - you'd have to go into hiding for months and there'd be people constantly after you for money and shit. It's not worth the hassle - give me a nice cool five million any day and I'm happier with that.

Don't you have the option of anonymity with the lottery? ???

It should be a legal requirement. I could never put up with people knowing I had millions, unless it was earned thru business endeavours.

There is an option of anonymity with the lottery but if you were to win £120,000,000 a figure of that magnitude will have the world's press rooting you out anyway - like what happened to that Irish woman earlier this year - she won 80 mil and she stated she wanted to remain anonymous. She's given most of it to charity apparently.

Publishers Clearing House tells me that I may have won 10,000,000.00 if they come a knocking at my door on 11/22 during the ABC evening news.  If I say "Now I know it's real" I get 5k on the spot.  Diane Sawyer will be knocking I just know it.  I feel so lucky I have so much of it spent already.  I'd better win ;)
