It's no longer what it was now. it's purely for profit.
the maths are, if you bought 1 a week you'd feel that £2 is a lot more than £1 so you don't buy one at all.
if you bought 2 a week, you'll feel ripped off that you can now only get 1. so you don't buy one at all.
if you spend say £5 a week. then you may just only spend £4 a week now instead. and have 3 less chances of winning. which will make you see that you're 3 less chances down and may give up completely.
if the whole point was to make people spend less on lottery tickets. resulting in less money in Camelots pockets, then it would have the desired effect.
with all this other gambling taking the country by storm lately. you might think that Camelot is doing what corner shops do. and that is due to loss of customers and income. they put the prices up for the other shoppers to make up the short fall.
