Glad to have your approval Jo as your winnings would have been like 1 pound 30 Eeker

Actually, it was a lot of fun starting the pool and all and I hope to do it next year as well.

Winning more ���� would have livened things up bigtime for next year but I am confident that even more will participate in the next "El Gordo".

Saludos,
jer...

Oh, well, if it's �1.30, I could have bought a much needed hottie (99p) and 31p worth of Pick n Mix - so maybe I'll change my mind Wink

Looking forward to 5th now, not usually earmarked as a particularly exciting day in my diary Cool

Good luck everyone.

Hey Jer,

Putting the money in the pot for the El Nino loteria works for me! Are they selling the tickets already? How about going back to the same place to buy 'em, they were pretty lucky the first time around. How many tickets can we get with 40 Euros, Jer?

Just please let us know the numbers again, so we can start daydreaming about all of the fantastic possibilities our "windfall" may bring--and hopefully this time we'll win more. :-)

How much is the top prize on El Nino?
Does it pay out the same way?

I bet a lot of people don't play this one, since they're broke after Christmas, so we probably have better odds this time around!

Good luck to the future Millonarios de multimadrid! ;-)

Heck, I'd be happy with a couple thousand at this point, grin! I really wouldn't want to be on the news like that "poor guy" in West Virginia who just won over $300 million--yeah, right?!!!!! LOL!!!!
Saludos,
Pearl
:-)


God Bless!

I'm fine with "reinvesting" the money. Gives me a reason to keep dreaming...

I think that's a great idea, or you could take the $$ and take Ena to dinner and send us photos! Big Grin

Put the money back and let's invest in El ni�o. If we won once, we can win again.

This is getting exciting ! EL NINO here we come !
At least I am learning all about those Spanish lotteries !
And if you answer YES to any of these questions, apparently you need to consider getting counselling. :jeje:

1. Have you often gambled longer than you had planned?
2. Have you often gambled until your last dollar was gone?
3. Have thoughts of gambling have caused you to lose sleep?
4. Have you used your income or savings to gamble while letting bills go unpaid?
5. Have you made repeated, unsuccessful attempts to stop gambling?
6. Have you broken the law or considered breaking the law to finance your gambling?
7. Have you borrowed money to finance your gambling?
8. Have you felt depressed or suicidal because of your gambling losses?
9. Have you been remorseful after gambling?
10. Have you gambled to get money to meet your financial obligations?

Hey all, sounds good.

If I do not hear any objections from the original participants (you know who you are) to using the whopping 40 Euro prize to purchase tickets for "El Ni�o" on Jan 5th by Thursday Jan 2nd I will go ahead and do it.

If you object and prefer to have your 2 Euros sent over to you, please let me know but I insist that you will lose money on the deal due to bank commissions and fees. I will not send cash, it never seems to arrive Red Face

Saludos,
jer...

p.d. Nige, I can proudly answer a big fat NO to at least 9 of those questions Smiler Big Grin Wink
