I don't know what the accumulative odds against winning your bet are Brin but I bet they are better odds than winning the Lottery...

Tbh Lincs I feel the lottery as gone the wrong way…it's something well in the millions now to win the lottery…

Moving the numbers available up to 59 was devised by the new owners of the lottery I think either Canadian or American….didn't know this til last night….didn't even know it had been sold…

I know it's only 6 games I've picked from but it's a big ask…..I'll be keeping an eye on it in case I'm offered a cash out...

I agree about the lottery, we used to have a terminal in the newsagents we had in Rotherham, the amount of tickets sold rose considerably on a roll over but now the odds have gone from 14 million to 45 million to one . I personally have stopped having a go.

Footnote
We sold 250,000 tickets including scratch cards a year, multiply that by the 10 years we had the Lottery totals two and a half million, and as far as I am aware we didn't sell a jackpot ticket

The prime directive for the lottery is to make money for Camelot

[LincsMiller]

The government gets more than Camelot


Income[edit]
Each pound (100p) spent on the National Lottery is split as follows:

50p Prize fund
28p Good causes
12p Government
5p Retailers as commission
5p Camelot
4.5p Camelot for operating costs
0.5p Camelot for profit

Looks like it's been a bad day for many on the P/L site as well…

So its 45million to 1 Lotto. Had 11 lines, ones a free lucky dip. £20 for a chance of winning £46.5 million. Keep the faith.
