our little office sydicate won £836 on wednesdays lottery and were 6 numbers away from winning the big one - we had 21 and it was 27, or the other way round.
lol probably but that is the closest we have ever got. 13 of us been doing it since day one 6 numbers away from 60k each, there were 2 winners of the biggun, a fortnight before xmas - very tantalising :-)
My old firm we had a sydicate, a few years after I left, they got 5 & the bonus up, 10 of them they got £110K between them. Also at the same frim one lad won £100k for himself.
My brother in law got bought a lucky dip by his mum a few years back that won him £5k odd....a bloke in the north stand won £3m or so a few years back too didn't he?

13 of you since day one! Does anyone know when the lottery started? 12/13 years ago maybe, 2 draws per week. Work out how much you lot have spent doing it
[cite]Posted By: KBslittlesis[/cite]i had 4 numbers in the first week they did it
won £182 & split it with 12th man
never done it since..............never saw the point..........doubt i'll ever get that close again
:-(
Funny that - I've only ever done it once - bought three tickets with money left over from subs at football one week and won a tenner & 65 quid (3 and 4 numbers). Like you I've never done it since either!
Always thought that the prize winnings for 5 numbers is 'pitifully' inedequate....I'd almost be pig sick with just a grand or so (which is what it normally is), when for just one more number it's the jackpot!
Needs looking at if you ask me.
The staff of a restaurant near us won the jackpot. They were all interviewed by the local paper saying that it wouldn't change their lives at all. The next week the closed signs were on the restaurant.
We got five numbers up a few years ago when i was on a shift . £1750 shared between 20 people. (£87 each ) The number we didn't get was 7 and we had number 5 . That would have pocketed us a share of 7 million. ( 350K each) i always wonder how many would have left if they got that much.
Absolutely no way the same 6 numbers coming up twice in a row is just 4 million to one. It would be much higher than that.
If I recall, the chances of getting 6 numbers out of 42 on the UK lottery was 14 million to one. The chances of those numbers coming out again is, I assume, the same odds.

You only combine the two like you say if you were wanting two specific sets of numbers. If you only one need one set of numbers to match exactly to the numbers from the previous draw, it doesn't matter what those previous numbers were.
Yesterday's UK lottery draw numbers were 14, 15, 18, 22, 39 and 50.
There is a 1 in 45 million chance that those same numbers will come out in the next draw. Hence 1 in 45m chance of a back to back in any given draw.
The calculation changes if, for example, in the next two draws you want the exact numbers both times, you would have to do 1 in 45m times by 1 in 45m to calculate the chance of that.

No jackpot winners either so would have won 2.4 million of your English pounds.
Think they got about £700 in the end.
Bet this is not P & E. Typical of my luck ; - )

Had the first three numbers and the last three numbers................
Should have cut the ticket in two made up a line of 6 wining numbers. ;-0)
Strange goings on .. 3 of the winning numbers from Friday, 14, 15, 22 were also drawn in yesterday's 24/9/22 Lotto draw
