Oh and I thought I stood a chance of winning 100 million. My ticket is weeks old, so what happens to that????

A couple of questions ..
Would these need to be purchased in the UK ? ..
How much for a ticket ? ..

This is no good for anyone who lives here as you have to be resident in the UK for lottery winnings, so even if your ticket won, you wouldn't be given the money.

Not strictly true. if the tickets are purchased in U.K and in the possession of someone inU.K, then one flies over to collect the winnings to put in one's British bank account. it is the buying of tickets on line that one cannot do.

so who is going to be the next millionaire. Oh please let it be me. Still would have preferred the one hundred million though. Greedy? Probably.

£2 per ticket. Jackpot is £105 million + 100 raffles of £1 million each. I am guessing that this may have something to do with the start of the Olympics.
Half the members on this forum are living in the UK, so guess it is appropriate news.
Good luck again to anyone buying the Euro Lotto.

Indeed, Soner, or people can do it via relatives in U.K all is not lost.
