£15 for matching 5 numbers on tonight's UK Lottery

I've just posted exactly the same. Second again, as per.

I've never done the UK lottery, and only noticed it as someone put a thread up on the main forum.

How can they justify that though? And £25 for matching 3!

Surely anyone with 5 numbers would get the payout for 3, 4 and 5?  Still not a lot, but you can't possibly win less for doing better, can you?

yes

Apparently, you can.

That is very poor!

Only 10k for 5 numbers AND the bonus ball?

So it's pretty much all or nothing now

You would have to be a total nutjob to do the lottery with payouts like this, two million pounds  used for a free go with two numbers & they call that a winner

2 number free bet killing them
walofs

They will be having a rethink about this pretty soon, it's madness. Can you imagine having all 4 horses win in a yankee but being better off if the last one had lost?

imagine 28 drawn

Riots !

Two raffles = 2 million
2 numbers free play = approx 2 million
3 numbers = approx 3 million

4, 5 & 5 & the bonus = 1/2 million


Something you think you would only see in say the North Korean State Lottery

If the 28 had come out instead of 41 the Jackpot would have been under £6k

I bet ther lines of communication are red hot tonight.

That daily fail website is a god awful thing.
It's second only to ATR for holding content to ransom and plastering adverts to offensive levels.
Fair enough sitting through an ad to watch something.....but you have to do it everything for every single thing.

Reminds me of chanderpaul coming into bat with adverts on his cheeks.

How do you fathom that one out?

No Im not...so please explain.

Its not a 100 percent certainty that all 4,082 people would have picked 28

56

Not the first time this year. Biggest rip off going.

It's 100% certain that they didn't. I think it's clear that most did though.

@TBB It's pretty certain that 7 14 21 28 35 42 is a popular choice so even if only half them did those numbers the Jackpot would be less than £12k.
The point being, whether it's half or most, that the prize would be ridiculously low and I'm certain that will apply to other patterns.

1 2 3 4 5 6 most pop app

Thunderball Guranteed 500000 be nice if 6 numbers from one of the popular perms came up

1-2-3-4-5-6 is THE most popular selection. People generally have no idea about these things.

A few years ago I was on my way into town and my Dad asked me to put his lotto on. I told him I was having a go on the Irish looto instead. So he gave me a couple of quid extra and asked if I'd do one for him too. He didn't give me any numbers so I just used the same numbers (well, maybe 5 of his 6) as his English lotto. When I handed him his docket he was raging that there was no way that the same numbers were going to be drawn on the Irish and English lottos on the same night! He was right, of course...

lottery = a game for mugs and suckers

good luck

As is all betting, some mediums just prolong the inevitable.

I don't play the lottery. Far better having a horse in training with Alan Berry.
