I never get tempted to do the lotteries, the chance of winning is beyond my understanding, whereas the PB often gives me a little prize and maybe, just maybe, something a bit bigger.

That's what your ticket price (£2.50? I dunno, I remember it being a quid. I also broke my arm on the day of the first ever draw in the 90s. Funny things memories) actually gets you, isn't it?Potter wrote: Sat Feb 03, 2024 5:50 pm get me just a little bit excited and have a bit of a daydream about how I’d spend ten million.
I enter Euromillions when it's >£100m sometimes. Which is fucking daft, 'cause £5m or £100m would both have a major transformative effect on my life
I ain't paying the idiot tax for just a paltry 5 mil though!You're far more likely to win the Euromillions (assuming you enterDodgy69 wrote: Sat Feb 03, 2024 7:58 pm I never get tempted to do the lotteries, the chance of winning is beyond my understanding, whereas the PB often gives me a little prize and maybe, just maybe, something a bit bigger.
) than you are to win a million quid in the PBs in any given month. Advantage with PBs of course is that you get your money back even if you lose!Re: premium bonds.

I spend £16 a month on a single lucky dip on every UK draw.
Like Dazzler, I only do the Euro's when it's over £100m.
The most I've ever won on the Lotto is £100, twice. Both times were roll downs, when the prize should have been £25 any other time.

Last month I opened a joint Santander Edge account, and two Edge Savers (one for the wife, one for me) and put £4k in each of them.
Today the interest hit the account, just over £21 in each and the current account paid £11 cashback on my bills and debit card spending.
Just over £50 is more than I've won on the Premiums in the last 6 months.

I'd get me one of them Paedophile's Islands, like Jeffrey Epshtein.Potter wrote: Sun Feb 04, 2024 9:23 am I like having the conversation - "What would you do with a £100m win?".
You can tell a lot about a person based on the answers.
We checked our lottery tickets lying in bed this morning (I made us toast and coffee and we had a lazy half hour still in bed reading the news) and we didn't win. It prompted a conversation about what we'd do if we won £100m and neither of us could think of anthing that we'd buy or change how we live, so the conversation quickly turned into who we'd help and how.
It was a fun conversation, we spent ages talking about how we'd surprise different family members with a nice windfall, for some of them it would make a monumental change to their lives, I won't bore you with it though

I was going to say 'the world's gone mad' but really it's not that different from the 'art market' deciding that a pickled shark or a few splashes of paint on canvas are worth £xM. Just agreed high value trading tokens with no intrinsic value....and that's not very different from a £50 note, another token just with wider agreement on the tradeable value.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Sun Feb 04, 2024 10:17 pm Bored Ape Yacht Club.

I cannot help but hear "Ethereum" in my head as "Urethra". It takes a real conscious effort to 'say' it properly.
It's the main reason I've never bought any.

Last time I mentioned it in here my Nvidia shares were up 190%, I've just checked and now they're up 480%.
It's enough to get me Googling "when will Nvidia shares crash?" "Not yet" seems to be the general consensus.
Cisco systems had a growth of 100,000% in the dot com bubble
. I'm not expecting that kind of performance sadly.
