Assuming your life expectancy is 75 years, on average you should hope to be alive for a total of about 40,000,000 minutes. This means that your chances of dying in any particular minute are 1/40,000,000. Therefore, if you want a lottery ticket, be sure to buy it in the last minute before the draw is made. If you leave a gap of longer than a minute, then you are more likely to die while you are waiting for the draw than you are to win the jackpot.

Yep! It certainly is.

Especially after they added the extra 10 numbers a few years back reducing the odds from 14,000,000/1 to the gargantuan 45,000,000/1.

It just removed the slight chance of winning to basically obliterating it and also doubled the price to boot.

What baffles me is how foreign companies have been allowed to purchase the UK Lotto, allowing them to suck the money out of British peoples' pockets, such as the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (2010-2023) and then Allwyn AG (2023 - ????) who are a a multi-national lottery operator from the Czech Republic.

I'm sure that is all above board!

As for those "Unucky Dip", well they are just ACTWFA (Another Chance To Win Fluff All)!

Under the original UK Lottery, I used to use the same 2 lines on Wednesday & Saturday and got three numbers at least twice a month.

When they increased the number of balls around 2015ish, I never won a penny for over two years, so they knew exactly what they were doing despite Camelot’s obviously insulting claims that it will be more exciting due to there being more big rollover draws.

IMHO, Lotto Rollovers should be done away with and all money put on the Lotto in a given week should be won that week. If there is no Jackpot, then all money taken that week should be shared as per the normal process.

Yes

I have 5 x £1.00 premium bonds purchased in 1970. I'm still waiting for a win, unfortunately. I will be leaving them in my will to be shared by my 3 children.
