Euromillions

its a UK winner, which means my odds of winning have increased.


Too scared to look

 

Tuesday's massive jackpot was capped after a series of rollovers made it the largest ever in the UK and Europe. The winning numbers were 17, 19, 38, 42 and 45, and the Lucky Stars were 9 and 10.

 

"EuroMillions jackpot winner Colin Weir has already identified football as his top priority for spending his £161m fortune - but instead of splashing out to buy local club Partick Thistle, he's going to invest in a luxury box at Barcelona. "

How original. Yawn

 

I don't really understand what you're getting at, it's his money, he loves football, I and hundreds of thousands of others would probably do the same given the choice

 

A box at Barcelona, are you mad Colin

You could buy WFC for that amount

 

Actually, tickets and boxes etc in Europe are much cheaper, I think a season ticket at Barcelona is £90!

The box he bought was £100,000 :biggrin:

 

Apparently the winners have already left the country after being completely inundated with begging letters and people demanding money. Bl**dy idiots for going public.

 

Not a problem with him spending it on football- but Barcelona? The obsession with them by many is a bit tedious.

 

Anyone got a spare quarter Mill?

A box at Barcelona would be a perfect start if i won. I also saw in this article http://euromillions.com/euromillions-winners/ that a 57 year old lady won £16,752,144. And it was the second time she played Euromillions. Thats just to lucky!

 

Simms last night 35, 42, 47, 48 and 50 came up !

its just shows anything is possible

 

No it's not.

I can guarantee you it will never happen.

Sods law.

 

I bet you £1,000,000 it will happen one day.

Just remember that when the numbers come up and you'd better have played them

 

but you could say that about 14million combinations

 

Deal. It will never ever ever happen. I would bet my life on it.

But it's just not true!

It is more likely to get 5,16,18,27,43 than to get 1,2,3,4,5,6. It just is!

Sods law!

 

No, it is true.

And it's not sod's law.

It is as likely. That's unarguable fact.

 

It's opinion.

Probability is not fact, it is what it says on the tin. Human instinct suggests otherwise, and from past experiences I am compelled to disagree with the probability.

Theorising is only so good, but there comes a time in which you must empirically prove that it is possible, and that time has no come as of yet.

 

Simms, shut up you blabbering buffoon.

 

Leave him alone

He's paying me a million when his numbers come up.... I'm SORTED and this thread has been recorded. Contract made.

 

:biggrin:

Occams Razor. Here endeth my argument.

 

Prefer Gillette's myself, less skin irritation and a cleaner finish.

 

I can't tell if you are trying to wind people up or are just stupid.

If you are sincere, how old are you? This is basic probability. 1,2,3,4,5,6 is equally as likely as any other combination

 

Things aren't mathmatically perfect.

When you flip a coin 100 times it does not come up 50 times heads 50 times tails. In fact it's only 8% that it will be 50/50.

I'm talking about the guy instinct you feel, that although they may be equally possible mathematically, it just will not happen.

You cannot say that yes it is guaranteed to happen if you do it long enough.

 

Probability is probability.

1,2,3,4,5,6 is as likely as any combination. Hence why the lottery is a lottery.

 

No one is saying that if you flip 100 coins it will come out alternating heads and tails. It's equally as likely as getting 100 heads!

Clearly you don't understand probability. Gut instinct has nothing to do with it.


Given long enough the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 will come up. and I only say long enough because there are a large number of possible combinations. it's just as likely to happen tomorrow as any other combination. even last weeks numbers could come up.

 

Given long enough they wont. Time is no guarantee.

It is more likely that it wont be 1,2,3,4,5,6 than that it will be.

Things like that just don't happen. When has anything like that ever actually happened in the real world?

 

You literally don't understand probability.

1,2,3,4,5,6 is just as likely as 12,14,23,36,41 or anything else.

It's a random process, the balls just come out of the machine at random. Any combination has as much chance as another of occurring. Cannot put it any more simply.

Obviously it's unlikely to happen, as is every other combination.

 

Another classic for the Simms thread.

 

Booo, it's a matter of opinion.

 

Oh this is opinion now?

I can't even comprehend.

 

Bazinga!

 

The balls do not have a memory or do they know what number is written on them. It's a game of chance.

Somebody might find this interesting.

I don't understand how you don't understand this...

I know 12 year olds that have grasped this concept

 

except your opinion is flawed, incorrect, and amusing
