I thought 3 numbers paid £25 no matter how many winners so those who had 4 numbers got paid less bizarre

last year the missus had 5 numbers and won £1508 thought that was sh it then. obviously even worse now!

All numbers were under 31. Always poor payouts when that happens. Rules definitely need changing, if you had 4 numbers you also had 3.

Have the pots increased proportionately since they doubled the stake, or have people been put off by £2 a go?

try again... the prizes ahave all gone down since it doubled to £2, cos most of the pot now goes on paying out £25 for 3 balls. on wednesday the entire prize fund was £7.5m. of that, £5.4m went on paying £25 to over 219,000 people with 3 numbers! so theres bugger all money left to use on people who get 4,5 and 6 numbers. utter farce. |
|
By:
forgot to add that £1m also goes on the pointless lotto raffle, the one you never bother checking.
so out of the £7.5m prize fund, only £1m of it actually went on paying out people with 4, 5, 5+b and 6 numbers. if 10 people had won the "jackpot", theyd have only got about 70 grand each! |

I have been doing two tickets via direct debit since god knows when,I cancelled them on friday.When you play by Direct Debit it checks the tickets for you but I see since May they no longer accept any new direct debits is there a reason for this other than there will be a damn site more unclaimed prizes than before ?

Personally think the biggest mistake they made was introducing the Wednesday lottery many years ago. If memory serves me correct the jackpot on Saturday suddenly halved essentially from 7.5 million to 3.25 million.
Haven't played it for yonks and probably never will again. |

jackpot was as low as 700+ grand the other week, two people won, so getting 6 numbers got them roughly 350 grand
 the euromillions is better |

The biggest mistake they made was deciding to increase the amount squeezed from every existing mug customer, rather than increasing turnover by attracting more customers. Hence Wednesday draws, Thunderball, Daily play, raffles, scratchcards etc.

the biggest mistake they made was doubling it to £2 then spunking 90% of the prize fund on 3 numbers and a raffle.
