back when the lottery started, we played the same two lines every week. After about a year during which we had won one measly tenner, we stopped playing our set numbers and switched to random numbers. About three weeks later, the first 5 numbers out were from one of our standard lines... it was such a relief when the 6th number wasn"t ours!! The bonus ball however was!! We would have won just over £200k, and the jackpot went to a single winner than night, and was just over £8m.
Now I buy (un)lucky dips online and don"t even check the numbers - I just wait for the emails.
