I think they're 14 million permutations so buying 14 million tickets would guarentee you a jackpot prise, it would just be a case of how many you'd have to share it with. </BLOCKQUOTE>

so if your a multi millionare and there's a jackpot of 14M plus it's a sureire way to make some easy money </BLOCKQUOTE>

What Adam said. Jackpot = £18m. No. of winners (incl you) = say 3. Jackpot money won by you = £6m. Your "easy money" profit = -£8m.

Nice to see you living up to your username though :thup:

You'd need an army of staff working full-time just to fill out the tickets,
then you've got to get them all processed before the draw.

I wouldn't want to be stood behind you in the queue!
