    How likely's that?

    If I win then I'll be speaking to Mr Cryne shortly after to relieve him from the stress of running the 17th most succesful football club in the Championship.

    exactly the same odds as getting any 3 numbers. You're just as likely to get 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 as you are getting any 6 numbers.

    Not good odds then..... looks like I'll have to set my sites on somthing lower than running a Championship football club.

    Keep it up Paddy boy!

    If you did you'd get about 30 quid if they all came out. I've read somewhere that thousands of people actively pick 1,2,3,4,5,6 every week.

    And 49,48,47,46,45,44 is not far behind.
