5 and bonus ball under 10k? fork me, i'd have already told my boss where to stick it before i realised!
|
|
By:
I would be seething if I got 12 quid for 4 numbers.
|
|
By:
a wins a win ..

All tonight's numbers are birthday numbers. If you pick your numbers from 32 and above the payouts are bigger.
|
|
By:
It's peoples own fault for choosing such obvious numbers. The only way you're ever gonna win big is if you pick more unusual numbers and hope they come out one week.
|
|
By:
its a joke, youve no chance of winning and if you do win you get nowt. even the "jackpot" is a waste of time, 50 million to 1 or whatever it is and you get 200 grand! cant even buy a house nevermind retire
|
|
By:
loads of winners of course but youd think camolot would be too ashamed to pay out such piddly prizes but they must make their £25 milloin a week no matter what
|
|
By:
I suppose the 1 4 7 sequence would have culminated in a lot of 10 pound wins, among those who went for the 1 4 7 10 13 16 sequence.

correct odds for 3 numbers 54/1 innit
|
|
By:
thought it was 56/1
|
|
By:
of course I do it, how else am I going to have the chance , however small, of being a millionaire? Having said that, its as**as rissoles
|
|
By:
find a million to one acca on the football cupra. course it won't come in but at least you'd get the correct(ish) odds.
|
|
By:
Yes but the point is, Mr Gold Cup winner 2012, that its a quid for guessing. To bet on any sport requires an opinion, and I lay enough out on that. This doesnt, bish bash bosh, have I won? No, okay dont matter.

How much would it take to change your life? £100,000? A million?
There are free to enter lotteries on the internet. You could enter a dozen times a day, 7 days a week for nowt. Try Bananalotto. My missus used to do them and won a few quid but no more than £5 or £10 at a time. Some of them pay out in dollars but you can still put the cheque in the bank. I can't be bothered with it but if you want the big chance, go for it. You don't earn £12 in ten minutes, so if you have the patience, great. |

I agree with green willow

Utter farce.

Personally, I think that the way the whole thing is conducted is immoral.
If you enter a competition for a share of the total fund you should get precisely that! What I mean is that if the top prize is not won it should be "rolled down", and shared, between the lower prizes. To roll it over, into another competition, cannot be fair imo! Whilst the operators may think that the hype, of increasingly massive jackpots, will bring more sales, I for one do not agree. I believe people would be much happier, to know that if they hit five plus bonus, or just five, or even just four, they would get a worthwhile payout! |
|
By:
Forget the shyt prizes. If the top one isnt one, roll it over. Who gives a tosss entering it for a tenner?
|
|
By:
1, 7, 11, 13
must have been close to paying less than a tenner for 3 numbers |
|
By:
a. £10 for 3 numbers is a fixed figure by the rules of the game
b. the odds of getting 3 numbers is 14/1 which should of course result in a £15 payment and the lottery pays 9/1. This is the source of the bulk of their profits. Earlier suggestions of 54/1 etc are wrong |
|
By:
a. i'm fairly sure that they changed the rules so that the £10 minimum no longer applies.
b. i'm no mathematician but no way is it as little as 14/1 for 3 numbers. |

I am sure I got this from the lietrature setting out the game rules. It gave illustrative odds. |
|
By:
Stopped doing it completely after I found out that one of the "good causes" that money went to was Manchester United football club. They pay millions to their players but still get hand outs from the national lottery - something that I find both bizarre and disgraceful in equal measures.
|
|
By:
i thought it was 49/1 three numbers
|
|
By:
I'm trying to find evidence supporting my frst claim, overboard. Unless I dreamt it I'm adamant that they changed the rules regarding the minimum. This bit I did find though:
1 in (49/6)*(48/5)*(47/4)*(46/43)*(45/42)*(44/41) (which is 1 in 1133.119) for a single case. There are 20 combinations of 3 from 6, so the chance of a 3 match is 1 in 1133.119/20 or 1 in 56.7. Like I say, I'm no mathmetician but it looks right to me. |

u r wrong about a)

I'm never wrong terry! Still searching. :)

I'm getting there:
Sunday 17th March 1996 Camelot introduced a Lucky Dip facility on playslips and terminals, a 7-board playslip, a change to the 3-match prize rule, a new How To Play leaflet and a new Rules For On-Line Games And The National Lottery Procedures booklet. |
|
By:
I wasn't dreaming. This doesn't state it quite as simplistically as I would like but will do. It may have been changed again since, of course.
If the total number of winners in all categories * £10 exceeds the total prize pool (excluding any rollover or Super Draw money), then every winner (3-match through to the jackpot) gets exactly the same prize, which is the total prize pool divided by the total number of winners, rounded down to the nearest pound. This rule came into effect from Sunday 17th March 1996 onwards. Any rollover/Super Draw money is treated separately from this rule and divided equally into the appropriate category (usually the 6-match winners). |

By:
Also came across a great rule. Suppose you have 6 numbers on Line A and 5 of the same 6 numbers on Line B. If all 6 Line A numbers were drawn obviously you'd win the jackpot. You'd get nothing for your 5 numbers on line 5. Robbing b@stards!

You'd get nothing for your 5 on Line B!
