Prior to the changes to the National Lottery, around this time last year, i took part in an on line survey. I have just taken part in another in which i was asked to react to a scenario whereby the number of balls was increased to 55 and some of the prizes altered, (I did not make a note of the figures quoted) with a possible £1m raffle win and a free entry to the next draw for matching one number and the bonus ball. I fear that these 'hypothetical' changes may become a reality and the chances of winning the big prizes will lessen. And if that happens i can see lots more abandoning the ship.

Don't play the Lotto since the changes, still have a £1 or 2 on Thunderball though!
Ken, I think a lot of people have already jumped ship, especially since the price went up to £2. BIG mistake by Camelot.

Before the increase i used to play the lotto extra, too, which they did away with so my outlay remains the same. If they do introduce the 55 numbers, i will cease playing - and just do my best NEVER to look at the results of the draws as my numbers are not random. At present, i do my hotpicks on line with Betfred (and won £386 last night with 6, 19 & 24) but no doubt they would have to alter their prices accordingly and i would have to reassess whether or not i find the new odds acceptable.
Well done Ken. Drinks are on you xx
Along with Baldric I stopped doing doing the lotto when it went up to £2. I do Wed and Sat thunderball and Euro millions. More people will leave if they change it again.
Agree, plus the ridiculous ringfencing of getting 3 numbers getting £25 which can outpay matching 4 numbers is daft.
They should have let Richard Branson run it imo.
I stopped when it went to £2 and switched to Thunderball.

Work syndicate also reduced our number of lines.
i didn't even realise it had gone up to £2, until 3 numbers came up and won £25. I thought the cashier had made a mistake, expecting just a tenner. I'm not a regular player, and I will definitely by even more infrequent now
