What lottery numbers do you use and why? or are you a lucky dip type of person?

None...but amused at watching the queue of people at the newsagent on Friday/Saturday just out of the pub, smelling of fish, vinegar and stale cigarette smoke with Sun under arm.
Does it not make you wonder what these people would do if they actually won the big 'un? Do they know? Probably not.
Would they celebrate loudly, or keep it under their hat...could be if they were in trouble with the law, be it 20 weeks ago or 20 years (for whatever), there would always be the chance old 'friends', or indeed someone who was in a cell with them would run to the Sun like a drugged up teenager. If his crime was extremely petty, they would mention it slightly, but try to get in touch with past girlfriends...see if he was 'kinky', or if he was - er...of a certain colour, they'd check his family to see if they've been good boys & girls - if not, then hell begins.
It's what's known as British envy - summat we're extremely good at - especially when it involves someone who didn't have to work his nuts off for a perpetual wad.

I used to have my own numbers using birthdays then the lottery decided to do two draws one on Saturday and one on Wednesday well this then threw in a dilema do I spend twice as much what if my numbers come out on wednesday and i did not put them on as I had no money. So lucky dip it is and always will be as i would never live with the grief if numbers come out.

wow weren't Voltar angry?
luck dips win more than peoples chosen numbers.
but i do agree with Voltar, 2 a degree, the odds r lousy and the chances of winning r stacked against u and i.
after i found out the government can dip in2 the lottery fund 4 pet projects i haven't played it since!
the awards by Camelot r dire.
the royal ballet has received millions,
but they turned down the
Samaritans
Child line
CAB
why?
because they don't do enough 4 the ethnic minorities!
i didn't know the royal ballet was geared 2ward immigrants, silly me!

play the same 5 lines since it started and the most i won was £40. It's a habit now i'm scared if i don't put them on the numbers will come up. My sister in law won 2.2 million a while back so the odds of me winning are less i guess.

The odds are not good, and I sometimes wish that they would break it down a bit, so there could be more winners.
But the chinese proverb is quite right, you will not win unless you role the dice!
However I do happen to know of someone nearby that actually won a large amount, so it does happen.
My main wish is that I had not set a pattern of numbers, for I now fear the one week I do not do it, they will come up!!! So I am now down to pay £1 each week to the end of my days, UNLESS of course they do come up?!? Will let you know if I do.

My wife won £20 on Thunderball.
The computer picked her numbers.
