Let's not forget that the prize for matching 3 has gone from £10 to £25 and for matching 4 numbers from £60 to £100. As the majority of winners get either 3 or 4 numbers, I don't think it is such a hike up in price.
I personally only buy them from time to time and will continue to do so. However, while buying my last one I saw a scratchcard that cost £10! If people have so much money to waste buying these things, I'm sure they will still buy them at £2.

"However, while buying my last one I saw a scratchcard that cost £10! "
A customer at work bought one, scratched it, won £100. Guess what she did? Yep, buy 10 more with it.
Nowt as stupid as folk.
And that indirectly answers AOG too, yes, folk will still play it, and probably same amount of lines too.

That link makes no sense at all!
"However, the prize pot for matching five numbers will drop by £500 to £1,000,".
The prize for matching 5 numbers has never been a fixed amount. (On Saturday, £428,162 was shared between 1666 winners, giving them £257 each).
". . . while the reward for matching five numbers and the bonus number will halve to £50,000"
Again, there's no fixed amount. (On Saturday, £685,191 was shared between 39 winners, giving them £17,569 each).
"The prize for matching four numbers will increase from £60 to £100."
Same problem. (On Saturday, 64,091 winners shared £897,274, at £14 each).

"the only guaranteed prize is £10"
£10 has never been a guaranteed amount, however it would only be less if the available prize fund was at an extremely unlikely (e.g. has never happened in the past 18 years) low value.
"Three matching numbers will always win £10, except in the extremely unlikely event that the prize fund is insufficient to give all winners £10 each. If this happens, the prize fund will be split equally between all prize winners."
