Euro lottery draw on BBC1........scam or what?

Question

Lovesons....

Euro lottery here has got massive!

Answer 1

The UK is not small it has a pop of 65 million, not that much less than france or germany.

Answer 2

maybe because british people don't buy the lottery tickets, which decreases a british person's chances of winning.

and it's statistically possibly.

Answer 3

But out of 210 draws, the jackpot often rolls over. Are you sure its just the once? I thought it was a bit more than that.

Answer 4

if you check the text after 10pm you will get the numbers.

Answer 5

Seems to me they are scaming people. I get sometimes emails saying that I have one in the British lottery. All they want is my personal information now, like my full name and my social security number. Which I never give out and also not my name. So be aware scaming is going on. If all fails you could easily complain to the better business bureau of your country.

Answer 6

Statistics aren't reliable. Its not statistics that make you a winner. Its having the right ticket. Thats like if you have 4 children, and you have a 50% chance of either s*x you will have 2 girls and 2 boys. But we all know that doesn't always happen.

Answer 7

Very few Brits consider themselves to be European. They tend to think of the European Lottery as being "foreign" and for the use of foreigners, therefore only buying themselves a ticket when there is a "rollover". We tend to patronise`our own` British Lottery. I think you will find that not many people from the continental countries have won the jackpot from the British lottery.

Answer 8

Simple - brits are not that lucky, that's all! The odds of winning the Euromillions are 1 in 76,275,360... That is you need to have 76million PLUS tickets to win it. A LOT of luck needed to pick that one lucky ticket. So britons are just not very lucky as other nations, maybe its something in their diet??? :)

Answer 9

Have you any idea how many people would have to be involved to pull of a scam like this across multiple countries of Europe.  With so much money involved, what are the odds that so many people would be loyal, keep their mouths shut, and nothing ever gets leaked about the scam?

What you have is a conspiracy theory, and not a great one at that.  I just don't buy the idea.  Human nature is such that someone somewhere would have gotten mad, or disgruntled, or exercised their 'moral duty' and gone to the press.  I just don't see it going on so long without someone telling someone in the media.
