Have I? I didn't know I'd even bought a ticket.

Nice thread and RC was a viper.

I take it that you don't know that RC died unexpectedly in his sleep a few years ago.

He did love stirring up discussion on here though.

Family, Africa and cocaine.

I did know that he has passed away and I think it was before I joined so I never had any 'encounters'. I would have liked that.

He was one of the wittiest and most likeable people I've ever known. I'm glad I got to enjoy a pint (or twenty) with him (and other BCG members) over the course of a few nights in 2014. Rest in peace, James.

Both of our lotteries are up to large enough jackpots that I just bought 5 tickets for each after I finished up my shopping. Winning the lottery might be fraught with peril, but I'm willing to give it a go.

They were the numbers that came up in the UK Lotto!!! fades out with Twilight Zone theme...........................

Actually, it's possible to make money with gambling. For example, my friend makes a living playing online casino games. Maybe it sounds weird but if you treat it seriously and have your own strategy, it's easy to earn. Personally, I don't like casino, I prefer sports betting which is lucrative as well https://anjun1.net/

My son has played a lot and lost a lot

Now he doesn't play them any more, having learnt his lesson, thank heavens.

Hey DB!! For a laugh I used your lottery numbers and 3 16 and 18 came up, winning me £30, so thank you very much.

Even luckier, I also had a "consolation prize" of a Lucky Dip ticket from the previous week, which happened to have to same three numbers in the ticket AND, of course, I won £30 on that too!

£60 - they most I've ever won on the lottery.

Does anyone hold premium bonds?

I just got some and was wondering how often you win anything

Yes, have been buying them for years as an alternative to ISAs, which are crap at the moment, not unless you invest in the stock market ones.
I have a tidy sum now in PBs and do very well in regular wins of £25 - £100, but am still waiting for the big one, or at least bigger than £25!
It used to be reckoned as a rough guide, that if you held £30,000 worth, you should get a prize a month - usually £25 of course.

Not bad!

Considering they lowered the rate on them just recently too ...
