The thing about the lottery is it is the worst odds versus payout offering there is.

Odds of getting 3 numbers: 97/1.

At £2 a ticket that should be paying you £194.

What does it pay? £25 or something.

So even knowing all that and even having worked in the industry for years, why do I continue to play my numbers every week? Because I feel if I do not, then they will come in, so I have to play.

That’s what is known in the industry as “gambler’s fallacy” and is a massive contributor to the money involved in the industry.

A tax on the poor, the feckless and the hopelessly optimistic.

Keeps me in a job so I have no problem with it. Anyone want to pick a number between 1-59 that I have to remove from the draw machine tonight?

Was "veras" actual drug slang at the time or did they just make it up for that song? I've never heard anyone use that outside of said ditty.

I think I've heard it used, but probably because of the song.

It's Villa, he'll be out for months. Maybe Onana could play some football now.
