Well 25 UK Millionaires will have been made in this Friday's Euromillions draw .....

I'm a pessimist in the view that i will never be disappointed and if i do win i will be overjoyed.

Bein an optimist you will either be disappointed or satisfied.

As a computer analyst like G-Man will probably accept the logic in that.

Ie

Pessimist - No win = Satisfied
win = Overjoyed

Optimist - No Win = Disappointed
Win = Satisfied

As you can see being a pessimist means you will never be unhappy!

Quod Erat Demonstrandum - I hope!

No reponses .. what a shame .. just have to chew the cud myself on this one!

I take it you werent one of them.

Personally i cant see why you would want to pay more than a quid for the lottery.

I believe the euromillions is £2.

So okay you could iwn a million but for a quid you could also do the same in the ordinary lottery.

I think camelot are evil cynical and downright bad in this current climate they are trying to make even more money by introducing a new 5 number thing on the lottery - what next?

So in essence why pay more than a quid - do you really or are you really that greedy you would want more than a million?

Wheyhey OD, my man, an answer after two months of barreness!

From what you say, I guess that being optimistic makes you believe in luck, being a pessimist probably means you don't.
It's like during the average lifetime, millions of things will happen to you, and some will have a distictly 'lucky' flavour. And that's just the law of averages and nothing else.

But you are right about keeping your lottery bet to a quid. If your name is on the bullet, you will win! And paying £20 to buy 20 tickets just means ( in the case of Lotto ) that there are some 13 million bullets still without your name on it! So it's not the chances of winning that shoudl discourage you to spend more than a £1, it's the chances of NOT winning!

As you say, Quite Easily Done!
