Above.

Because it was a 4 times rollover last night on £13.3 Million, and I got 3 numbers on the main draw, I won £74, and then on my second ticket I won a fiver, so that's £79 so far... Then I discovered that on my direct debit ticket I won £10 on Thunderball so overall that's £89 back on my cash card.

Woot! Go me! All I need is about another tenner and I have enough for the new Xbox.

    I wonder how much you've spent on the lottery over the years?  :p

    Yeah that’s the thing with the lottery, you tend to spend more overall and not notice the little bits here and there but when you win you think “oh nice”.

    Yeah I went on my email first thing and there was 3 emails from the National Lottery saying "News about your ticket" so I'm like "Wow! What've I won now?" and logged into my Lottery account to check.

    Congratulations - don't look to see if you've spent more on lotteries than won.....enjoy the moment. And anyway you've helped benefit many good causes. :)

    I agree with @chiarieds

    If you enjoy playing, i.e. it gives you some fun like dreaming about what you’d do with a win, and it’s not a gambling problem for you, it’s worth playing. :)

    And as said, by playing you are helping some good causes. :)

    I say this as someone who is really into their finance and does informal financial advice for family members ;)

    People spend far more than £2 a week, or whatever it is the lottery costs these days, on far more destructive hobbies/habits!
