Don't play the lottery.
That is all.

I don't understand.
Why would you get your pound back if you were the only person playing?

But...but...playing the lottery is my retirement plan.

I set up an online account
I automatically play my 'lucky' numbers for every standard lottery draw (not euro millions or any other variation)

2 draws a week at £1 a time

£104 per year. I probably spend more money on pick 'n' mix a year than lottery.

And there's always the chance that i'll check my balance near the end of the month, expecting to be overdrawn, and instead have a balance of £3million.

yeah £104 isn't very much money,
might as well just chuck it away.

I work full time.
I can afford to gamble £104 per year, even if the odds are astronomical (1 in 13,983,816 )

1 in 14 million is a long shot, but not impossible.

yeah this is "money saving tips" though, isn't it?
1 in 14 million to win 7 million isn't good odds, and you may well end up sharing it. You'd be better going to the bookies and gambling on horses or football.

I don't know where joy comes into doing the lottery,
but I can see why folks go down the dog track.
