:sneaky:

 

Just, in case you're wondering, 4 tickets this time, which is strange considering last time I bought 93. Hmmm its definately not a RANDOM pick, me Albie and Jak had about 350 tickets combined! And esther won or something.

but have you noticed, as soon as you start complaining that it's a shambles you win?????, i wonder..

 

"hey this lotto thing is shit, and a set up'

 

**wipes dust off shoulder** ahh, i think that went successfully

I never complained about it being a shambles.

oh that's right, it was albie, my bad

congrats Reilly...

 

 

and to disprove the myth that the less you buy the more chances of winning you have, its false. I bought only 1 ticket and lost, so there.. :P

Hahaha. I dont think that dispels the myth that a chosen number between like 1-9 is picked, and the person who bought that number of lotto tickets gets it (OR its random between them if more than one person has bought) :idea2:

 

Its definately not done in an actual lotto scenario (One ticket picked from the hundreds entered) like I said, 350 tickets between the three BLING PLAYAs and Estherchen wins with, was it 7? It was definately under 10.

 

DISCLAIMER: NO, this is not a complaint. We're all just trying to figure out how this thing works :kiss:

meh.... I still have the most bling on the board! :P But I dont know if thats something I should be bragging about... as I have no life... :cry:

no life at all.. :lol:

no life at all.. :lol:

 

 

one could say worse about you... Mr Parlophone.

Awww regular arrays? Ian.. thats poor coding :smug:

Woah Ian just revealed all! And I was WAY off

 

To think I thought $charset[] = cht(127); and $charset[} = chs, when actually $charset[] = chr(107); and $charset[] = chr! HAHAHA god.

I noticed a lot less tickets were up for grabs on the last lottery.

are you kidding ?

 

when am I ever gonna win :angry: ?
