I presumed I would be able to purchase 315 tickets using my online lottery account. Easy, it means they check the winners and credit my account and I just need to do screen grabs of the virtual tickets. Tickets can't be lost etc... But No

The max an individual can bet is £350 :shout::shout:

Which means I have to travel to the bank, withdraw cash, go to the store and look a right pratt while I buy 315 tickets (that'll make the papers where I live :Doh: )

Then get back to the office and scan them all and get them on line so you guys know I'm not ripping you off, then we have to manually check and travel to collect any winnings :shout::shout::shout::shout::shout:

On top of that I need to cram in a days work. I do hope its worth it::bigsmile:

Oh Jim what a piggin' nuisance!! Could you not open another lottery account in Sian's name?
Anyway, a big thank you for all the time and trouble you are going to. Even if we don't win it's been a very exciting morning (yes, I really must get out more!).

Might start them doing the Full Monty dance routine.

It will be easier for you if you buy as many as you can online first and then buy the rest at a shop, it also might prevent their machine running out of paper :ROFLMAO:

P.s you don't need to check them manually, you just take them back to the shop afterwards and they can scan each one, they'll love you :ROFLMAO:

Can you and Sian not buy half each on line? :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Otherwise by half on line and the rest manually.

Remind me of your local lottery dealer so we can call the press in advance :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I wonder whether they have raised the limits since they raised the cost of lottery tickets? Might be worth a telephone call to lottery hq.

Good luck with it Jim hope it doesnt cause you and Sian hours of laborious work

:ROFLMAO: that's karma, Jim, for making sure that those of us on the road to work at the time you sold the tickets were effectively excluded from the syndicate! :ROFLMAO:

Well I for one am not bothered about you scanning all those tickets and copying them on here, quite happy to trust you and I am sure others will be of the same mind.

Jim of it helps you I could buy the max amount on my account and you just send the money, that way no need to check them all. Only a suggestion to save you some work feel free to ignore it.

I sometimes get back what I spent.
