1st set up a lottery account, mine is on my phone.
It's easy to set up your favoured numbers, top up with dosh and withdraw dosh (but that's not the important bit).

I would have a dabble here and there with little result. Occasionally I might win a Lucky Dip, or even a £iver. But I would likely spend more than I won, not always granted.

Checking if I had won was easy the following day. The app allows you to see by pressing a couple of buttons.
Now How to Win. Don't play.
The following day I check my numbers, the App shows which set of numbers would have won how much on the respective type of Lottery.
So now, when I haven't 'dabbled', I can see I wouldn't have gained anything worth a celebration So I've Won.

What the App really needs is a virtual dabble. Then it could tot up the savings and calculate the true winnings over time.
D' yer think the Dragons would be interested?
 
Interesting. This comes to mind:

'His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbours sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counselled one and all, and everyone said “Amen“. '

markjay,
are you by chance having a dig at the eu?
 
Reminded me of one of my late father’s dad jokes.

Every week there is a man in church praying to his god. “Lord please help me win the lottery.” This goes on for months and years. Then one day there is a rumble of thunder, lightning, skies part and a loud booming voice says “John please, at least meet me halfway and buy a damn lottery ticket!"

Cannot win without a ticket.

The proceeds go to good causes so we don’t mind.
