The German lottery / lotto

saturday..16m jackpot to win. highest ever jackpot in german history allegedly...

never played the lotto here, is there just one or many? is it easy or complicated?

The German Lotto: "Only those that play have a chance of losing".

Heheh - I've heard of another one...
ANY Lotto: A tax for the mathematically challenged.

. . and No. . I'm not bitter that I've never won it. . .
Not that. . . ahmm. . I've ever tried to win it. . ermm..
rats.

So what is the deal, someone must have tried it. How's it work?

Spend 6,50 Euros. Earned 126,70 Euros. Not too bad. Gonna spend the money on new shoes - what else?

A regular piss-up at Gunther Murphy's... that should be nice, that you can say you got drunk for 6,50...

Ah yes, taxes for the mathematically challenged...

Back in the states the Lottory (multi-state PowerBall) hit >$100,000,000 I believe. With that much money I'd buy a Toytown Mansion and populate it with Hef's rejects.

Ok Karen, you've done the lotto here, how does it work, what do you do?

It's pretty simple. Pick up a form from your local Lotto/Toto shop. Cross off 6 numbers. Decide if you want to play the 2 extra games at the bottom right corner (check ja or nein). If you want to play a different set of numbers, you can fill in up to I think 8 sets of numbers on one form. Hand it in to the counter, pay yer money. Costs vary, depending on whether you play the extra games or not and how many sets of numbers you play.

Does anyone know what the winning numbers were for Saturday January 28th?

Yes you can National Lottery

You can play the Euromillions draw directly here, however you will need a Uk address and bank account (with Switch card or similar) to do it. They draw money down from your bank via the debit card into a Lottery account, then you draw off that to play the game. Although labelled as "European", only participants from Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom are entitled to play. There are other international sites that offer access to the game via credit card (e.g. www.euromillions.org but these are not affiliated with the main organisers, despite how they look and they load the prices ($10 a game instead of £1.50!))

I presume you mean www.national-lottery.com (you missed the "-"!) - note this is also only an re-seller, and as far as I can see does not offer access to the Euromillions

You can also do the German lottery online at

so no english bank account it seems that i can't play.anyway more chance pigs flying than winning . i wonder what the odds are?

Like I said (and showed), there are many other places you can play, but you pay a premium to do so. The odds of winning the jackpot in the Euromillions are some 70million to 1.
