From October 5, the overall prize fund will more than double, with the prize for three numbers increasing from £10 to £25 and the average Saturday jackpot rising from £3.9 to £5m. There will also be a raffle every week where at least 50 winners will receive £20,000 each
Bought a ticket this week, but only because my neighbour asked me to get her one.
Checked it this morning and I won. Not getting excited though, it's only £10.
Still every little helps.
I just buy one, on the rare occasions I buy at all. I figure if the good lord wishes to send a win my way it only needs me to buy the one. It can't claim I didn't give it a chance then.
this is the problem for many though, I have had the same numbers since the lotto began, and when they introduced the Wednesday draw I felt I had to buy a ticket with my numbers,,,,,,,,,,so now with the doubling in price of the tickets, do I dare just stop buying tickets ?
Boycott it I say! If enough people stop playing, they will have to review the price increase. £25 instead of £10 for 3 numbers, but the other prizes aren't doubled! Rip off, as far as I'm concerned.
