Missed the draw on TV so went online to get the results. Nada, so ticket went straight on fire. Then take a closer look and see that they haven't updated the site , was looking at wednesday's results - 2 hours after the draw ffs! Then I go to teletext and guess what? 3 numbers. Might have well just bunged a tenner on the fire. Useless twunts.

You'd be foolish not to play..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

You'd think the Russkis would get their real world sorted a bit, before they started concentrating on games

You'd be foolish not to play...
The first time I bought a scratch card (curiosity got the better of me), I "won" 2 quid, whereupon the newsagent persuaded me to have another go, which of course didn't win. Theoretically I had won 2 quid but I'd spent 2 to get there. It struck me that the Lottery could afford to give away as many of those as they fancied.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
