Euromillions Jackpot

It's over 151 million Swiss francs. You can even play it from the comfort of your present bum-holder.

Please feel free to participate so that my winnings are higher

Thanks

Maybe with the bout of bad luck I had last month, this time I'll be lucky and win something? nahh, I doubt it.

Re: Euromillions Jackpot

In the spirit of not wanting to mess up my life, I'm not playing because I have no use for so much "free money".

Free money can often be quite expensive.

Re: Euromillions Jackpot

You cannot just register and play online with Swisslos you have to prove your age, before you can play. Also remember that the winnings are taxed.

Re: Euromillions Jackpot

I've been mentally playing the same numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) on the National Lottery for the last 15 years. Not only have my numbers never come up, but I've saved over £780 (CHF1317.80) in fools tax by not actually playing.

Bonza!
