I just win lucky dips
Which of course is wining nothing!
My dad says that, that he has won a lucky dip. It's a big con.

Premium Bonds are my thing, rather than the lottery.
Never won anything there either, mind you

Nope. My parents have had Premium Bonds and so too, myself and my two brothers and this has now been for over 50 years and no-one has won a single penny.

Got 5 numbers as part of a works syndicate once £1500 between about 50 of us. It was a Christmas eve superdraw about 15 years ago, 1 more number and work would have been very quiet on the Monday.
I very rarely play it now.

Two weeks ago the Postcode Lottery was shared by the postcode next to ours! PO30 1** won. I am PO30 5**. The PO30 code is literally across the road from me! One bloke won £333,000 for having the exact postcode!

My brother won £6k himself as part of a syndicate at work for 5+ Bonus Ball. Was the lowest payout they'd ever given at the time for 5+BB.
He was 18 though and the money didn't last him very long
My aunt won £250K as part of a syndicate (£2.5M win) for all the numbers though. Nice little bump to her retirement pot.

My mum won £50 on the premium bonds this month and wins fairly regular but she does have about 30k of them, my £600 wins very little but my daughter has about 5k of them and wins about £50 - £75 per year. Just need a big win on one of them.
I have had a pound one for 40 years and never won a penny on it.

I can safely say about 90% where I work would gladly walk out the door for that and punch the manager on the way out

Annoyingly... does £250k give you enough to retire nowadays?
By the time I've paid off my mortgage, bought a flat to rent out for some extra income... not sure I'd have much left!
(Not that I'd turn down £250k of course!)

I'm retiring at 50.......should be ok......but even if my business goes tits up, I blow all my cash & my wife reveals a whopping debt shes been keeping a secret, I'm still retiring at 50!
EDIT: Never really done the lottery......probably bought about 5 lotto tickets in my life.....

I don't think I could retire now with a win of £250k (aged 35). I reckon £1M would be sufficient though but I'd have to be really picky on what supercar I'd buy

Planning to retire within the next 6mths...£250k would be lovely to top it all up. But even a quarter of that would be very nice. However as I haven't done the lottery for years I guess that extra money will need to come from elsewhere. Even so retirement here I come

My revelation is the day I married my missus and I was looking at my old girlfriend.
That was a Bullseye moment.
