This is a question Biggest opportunity I've blown

Not Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

Just because you now know the outcome of some event after the fact,
doesn't stop an earlier choice, with only partial information, from being the right choice.

Laughing at a guy because he didn't want to spend £1 that he couldn't afford, in order to gain an expected payout of much-less-than-£1, is the sort of thing that stupid cunts do.

Of course, some stupid cunts get lucky and win jackpots. However, most stupid cunts spend more than they win. Winning the jackpot doesn't magically make a stupid cunt into a clever cunt... it makes them a rich stupid cunt... a rich stupid cunt floating in an ocean of poor stupid cunts.

^forgot to buy his numbers the week they came in

Never bought a ticket.
The second week they ran it, someone I knew had used the same numbers both weeks...

It occurred to me that picking the same numbers is unwise, simply because you can never not play the game again, in case your numbers come up.
