Bit different with UK lottery (including the Euro one) Ron. The lottery in UK is TAX FREE - if someone wins the 110 tonight that is what they get...
OT there are different ways of "buying on line"...... :D :D :D :D

I bought my 3 tickets in Sainsbury's for Euro lottery this morning. :D Its only 76 million to 1 to win jackpot, but i'm clever, by buying 3 tickets, that's only, 25.33 million to 1 to win! So, at those new odds i'm sure to win the £110 million. That should fund the building of the new house for the parents of my g/f in her village. Probably once g/f family find out, i'll have to build a whole new village. :roll: Then re-build all houses in Loei provence. :yikes: Maybe its better not to win this one after all. #-o

No I hope you win Phil. Don't worry it is too much for 1 man so I'll pm you my account number and sort code and you can transfer it over to me. I don't mind helping you out, you're welcome. Thanks, I'll pick you up at the airport in my BMW... :wave: :wave: :wave:

Sorry Irish Alan, i didn't win the jackpot! :? How did it go wrong? I picked the numbers after exhaustive research, and, nothing! What am i to tell the g/f, half her village has been knocked down all ready for the new houses. Maybe i'll win tomorrow in the normal lottery i've got 6 tickets this time instead of 3. Yes, i'm bound to win its in the bag, double the chance, salvation is at hand, thank goodness! =D>

For anyone who is interested...
1 person, not from the UK won the jackpot of £113,229,891.
Would imagine a little party would be in order in one household somewhere in Europe... :D :D

I'm only guessing of course, but you could probably retire quite comfortably on that in Thailand :-k

On further reading the winner is a resident of Spain - although it is not certain if it is an individual or a syndicate.
Yes I think it would be a case of where you would like to retire to rather than afford to retire to Aa... :D

I'm not sure if I can pass the "luck" on but, here it is: 05/11/20.
Good luck!

Not even the lowest amount of £10 Ralph. :( ...and spent more than that on buying the tickets.

Why don't we ever see the headline: " Psychic wins lottery"?
