Have any of you paid your idiot tax?
For all the dreamers out there, the big headline figure for tonight's jackpot is £184 million (although for the accountants out there, the chance of winning this jackpot is 1 in 139,838,160).
I suppose those are still better odds than MTD for income tax being a success though.

If HMRC win it, it wouldn't even pay for MTD they are spaffing that much cash on the thing.
I don't play with the expectation of winning, I play so that I can dream about winning. A few quid is a cheap price to pay for a few days of dreaming.
Same logic that my wife used to claim when justifying her annual bet (Grand National) ... and with the same (zero) winnings!
But compared to what some people waste their money on ...

So a statistician would buy a ticket @ £1 but not @ £2.50
I prefer Set for Life.£10k a month tax free for 30 years,looks ok to me.For old times sake I still punt on the normal Saturday lottery.A lot of my mates disagree ,but I really wouldn’t want to win £100 mill plus and disagree with these sort of amounts being jackpot prizes.I think £20 mill would be about right for me.£20 mill wouldn’t kill me;£100 mill certainly would.
I guess I spend about £5 a week on the lottery.Over all the years I have only had two £80 wins,with regular rollover ticket wins.I dread to think how much I have spent since it started.I don’t gamble generally unless I am actually at the track,and then I set a low limit.I also do Sue Ryder,no wins.But did just about break even on the Postcode lottery,which is a bit bizarre.
