No - before you get excited - I haven't won!!
I have discovered something odd about Euromillions raffle, and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about it.
I haven't bothered with Euromillions much before - occasionally buying a ticket if I am in the supermarket on a Friday, but for some reason last week I bought a ticket covering the Tuesday and Friday draws for the next three weeks.
When I checked the Raffle number on the first draw, the winning number began with an F, and the number on my ticket began with an F. Fine, except I didn't win!
But on the second draw, last night, the winning number began with a G. When I looked on the website at previous results I saw that they change the initial letter for every draw. So the next one will be H.
So my three week paid in advance ticket only had that one chance of winning the raffle, but if I had bought tickets individually for each draw (which I will definitely do in future!) then I would have had a chance of winning every time.
Ok, I know it's a long shot and the odds of winning are ridiculously long, but it would be nice to at least have a chance!
I have emailed the lottery people to ask for an explanation, but meanwhile I would be interested to know if anyone has any comments.
