I'll continue to do the Saturday draw with one line but that's it.

You could buy 3 lines for the euro lottery instead at no extra cost if you wish, for me it pays out more often.

And that's the key, for all those laughing at people moaning about the price rise, what do they think will happen, more people will play and more people will buy extra tickets, can't see it myself, Camelot should've lost it last time, they and the operation are stale and this increase could make the lottery's decline terminal and then what will all those retired Canadian teachers do.

I think more people will do what i do and move onto the Euro lottery, for more frequent wins(for me anyway) and if the big 1 does come around it is always for more money.

I am not a gambler, Gary - my step-dad had a bookies shop, and he explained who won every time.....

That video is just another conspiracy theory.

I think, whatever happens, the National Lottery is set to fade.
Taking the main draw to twice a week just spread the money more thinly ... we used to play regular numbers, but when it went twice a week, chucked them rather than doubling up or "what if" on Wednesday.

The more they tinker to prop it up, the more likely they are to lose those that do still play

It might be but I've always had my doubts, when the draw is on the TV the guy who says what numbers have come out and how many times it's come out and how much they've raised for charity raises my eyebrows.

No computer is that fast which brings me to the conclusion that something isn't right.
