I only ever have lucky dips and haven't done too bad over the years. I only have a go now and again when I remember to.

Said this before free lucky dips only ones I get always seem to have numbers on them drawn out previous draw or not soon before that so law of averages limits the chances of them being drawn out on that night.

You were wrong the last time you said it as well. It makes no difference, odds are exactly the same. End of.

I didn't say I was wrong. Technology determines free lucky dips at least.

I know you didn't, but you are. You seem to think the technology picks the lucky dips so they can't possibly win, but that only works if they already know what the winning numbers are going to be, which would obviously make it a fix.

But technology have previous recent draws numbers that's why I'd never pay for a lucky dip.

But that's just a superstition of yours, it's not a fact that it makes a difference. Every single lottery ticket, be it one you've chosen or a lucky dip, has an identical chance of winning whether you believe it or not.

Don't agree. Like to know the percentage of lucky dips that have won £1million or over compared with those chosen?

You might not agree, but you’re still wrong. Apparently around 53% of winners are from a lucky dip, google it like I just have.

Gru took his own thread off topic, which makes a change from it being somebody else’s.
