The National Lottery operator Allwyn has teamed up with the American lottery allowing people in the UK to take part in the American Powerball lottery which has jackpots up to £1 billion. The new game will be drawn 3 times a week at a cost of £4 per ticket.
Im not happy about this as we have played the same numbers since the lottery started in the 1990’s. If we wanted to add this game to our direct debit we would have to pay an extra £48 every 4 weeks. Can you imagine seeing your number come up in the draw but not having a ticket.

I only ever buy a Euromillions ticket when I feel lucky. And I only ever feel lucky when the jackpot is over £100m!
I’m clearly not lucky!! Although, I am starting to feel lucky when a jackpot of £1bn comes about!

In America the Lottery is awarded and then taxed. I would love to see how that works if you win over here

Im the opposite @kezo, I can’t seem to stop winning millions, got loads, started burying cases full out the garden, hiding it from prying eyes 🤣🤣🤣.
As for winnings, we spend around £50 a month on lottery, Thunderball and Euromillions. We pay by direct debit so never miss a draw, winnings are paid into bank account a few days later. I’d say most months we probably get around £25 ish back, sometimes less very occasionally more, most we ever won was around £500 on Euromillions.

I always play the Lotto and Euros since the start and won £30 on the very first week of the Lotto and thought this is easy, I made a point of not picking the same numbers on either and then forgetting the numbers, which in fairness would have been easy for my over taxed brain.
Although I have been playing the same numbers on three lines of the football pools, since 1974, 1978 and 1980,winning £1.06 in 1986, which stupidly, instead of investing it, I just waisted it away .> More recently I won £30.S so I made sure I was not going to pick the same memorable numbers on the Lotto/Euro.
Yup, dont spend much on the lottery.
If so, its not using fixed numbers, birthdays etc. I just grab a ducky lip every now an again.
Its always the same with Gambling Addicts,they always overstate their winnings, and discard their losses.
Anyway, its a mugs game, not the lottery, its just harmless fun, and the more extreme the odds, the more attractive the buy for some reason.
The worst addiction are scratch cards. When you see someone buying 5 cards at a time an they are about £5 to £10 a pop, that is really bad. But now days they dont have to go inyo a shop, the scratch cards are online.
The powerball, the odds its nuts.
A piece of advice from a Fin Advisor, take the money you would spend on the lottery and put it into a S&P tracker every week, there are no losses, only winnings
