When the lottery started in Britain everyone I knew was in schemes to beat it. People actually thought they could beat a 14 million to 1 shot with a £50 per week stake.

You were one of them weren't you Fenster?

Yes but I didn't run it or understand odds like I do now. I'd just chuck my tenner a week into the pot. It makes me laugh thinking back how adamant these blokes were that they had a system to beat it from such a tiny outlay. Madness. They probably still do it to this day

My thick elder brother and his thick wife had a system to beat the lottery. In a nutshell stick with the same numbers and live for 14 million weeks.


She said to me stick with the same numbers and eventually you'll win. I said even if that were true and it was working through every combination you could potentially need to stay alive for 14 million weeks.

She asked how long that was in years.

Who knew someone that thought he was the bollocks by picking 1,2,3,4,5,6 every week, then it turns out literally thousands do the same thing.

A couple years back I read about a woman in California that won after playing the same numbers for 17 years.

Statistically playing the same numbers offers a better chance of winning.

It has be said that the lottery is a tax on stupidity and nothing has made me think otherwise.

Still it is my birthday in two weeks and I plan on buying scratch cards, about 5£ worth, the only time during the year I give it go.
Think this year will be last time I carry on this tradition.

I do the Thunderball which gives you a better return but less money.

I do the health lottery in its place and not won anything.

Again I lose the lottery....the building of my super villain secret lair will have to wait
