No Winner In The Euro Lottery

I thought they said if it wasn't won tonight, it went back to the start? Oh well, there's hope yet. Does anyone know the winning numbers, please? I changed tellies with Mum's and since the bloke put it onto 'all cable' reception I don't seem able to access Ceefax and Teletext. The booklet tells me to press 'Text' on the remote, but nothing comes up. Well, not the texts I know and love, anyway - there's some sort of BBC red button thingy which I find very slow and rather useless!
 
Another week at work for me too......:(

In fact, punters were lucky that myself nor my colleagues won as we were all gonna do a runner & sod off out on the piss if we had won - we were checking numbers first thing....:lol:
 
If its not wn by Feb 10th the money will be shared out at the next level - i.e. 4 numbers plus 2 stars I think or 5 numbers and 1 star.
 
That explains why I never got my email to tell me I'd won. I was sure this would be my lucky week...

Still, £125m next week? I could just about retire on that.
 
Thanks, Pee - I found it on NTL's home page eventually, but my Ceefax via cable won't work! It displays the main racing page, but when I press various buttons to call up the page I want, rather than the one it insists I have, it won't move! Very annoying, this new tecknollergy! I won nothing this time - saving myself for the biggie. And I want you ALL to know, you won't be forgotten... ;)
 
I got my email this afternoon!

The "exciting news" is that, like Dave, I won £7.40.

I can hardly contain myself.
 
I got 2 numbers on one ticket and the 2 lucky stars on another . Oh well it looks like it's back into the fray next week :D
 
According to the Sun, there could potentially be a profit to be made from buying tickets with all possible permutations of the numbers. Even if I did have 114 millions to gamble with, I wouldn't risk it. I think I'll just stick to buying a couple of tickets and crossing my fingers as always :lol:

A MATHS professor claimed yesterday it is possible to win a £33million profit on the EuroMillions lottery — by buying every combination of winning numbers.

There are more than 76 million seven-number permutations, which at £1.50 a ticket would cost £114,413,040.

With this Friday’s jackpot at £125million, a winner would be ahead by £10,586,960. They would then collect prizes of up to £500,000 from each of the 12 other winning combinations on lower tiers. That would add £23million to their haul.

But if one other person shared the jackpot, the big gambler would LOSE £28.9million.

Dr Joel Feinstein, associate professor in mathematics at Nottingham University, said: “If you did this and didn’t have to share the jackpot, it would be great.

“But you would have to be the only winner to be in business — and that’s one huge risk.”

Value is everything in gambling ;)

I know some forumites are richer than others but I still don't think we'd be able to pool enough funds together as a syndicate :lol:

I don't know Colin. For starters if one individual bought 114 million worth of tickets surely the jackpot would be more than 125 million.

A pound per skull and Lord H can top up the rest.

I didn't win the jackpot. Is there a prize for two numbers and a lucky star????
