Most statisticians (99.999999999%) think it's stupid because
of the very poor odds compared with other forms of gambling.
It might be sightly better from a statistics point of view
when there's a rollover.
If you bought ALL the combinations in every Lottery to date
(so that you won every draw)you would have LOST
£13,094,683,135..... Ouch!!

The Irish Lottery through UK bookmakers used to offer better
odds and providing you don't mind all the work involved
you should be able to come away with a small profit at
the end of the year.
Tony why do you think winning the Euromillions is better
than Winning £10M in the UK Lottery
(Don't answer Think!!!!)

Did anyone see (or buy) the Pentax ebay auctions yesterday where the
seller didn't know what FUNGUS was and after someone told him
advertised everything as having Fungus including a K2 Camera
He later changed that to lens only (with Fungus).
The stuff went for buttons inc. a
PENTAX SMC f/1.2 50mm LENS for £149 (showed the box of a f/1.7 on pic... Dumb!!)
PENTAX K2 35mm CAMERA + LENS The lens was Matt's fav 35mm 'K' f/3.5 £67.59
TAKUMAR f1.8 85mm SUPER MULTI-COATED LENS.... £162
PENTAX-M f2.8 120mm- K MOUNT- SKYLIGHT GHOSTLESS- LENS... £52.81 WOW!!!
I can't believe that all these had fungus.... probably a bit of DUST
The only shot that showed the actual glass:
135mm VIVITAR SERIES 1 AUTO TELEPHOTO f/2.3 LENS... £56
Being an idiot on ebay is certainly expensive

You should only use focal lengths of Pentax primes for lotto numbers

the coloured shots appeared and all was well Really like
the tin roof shot and the tin wall/roof detail. Some really
nice colours there that work very well together.
