New Lotto Rules

[lynbrown]

I pay my Lotto ticket by direct debit, so never actually see a ticket. How do I know what raffle number I have been given?

"£25 is better than nothing." hmmmm. The odds of picking three numbers is approx 56/1. Imagine putting £2 on a winning horse at 56/1 and the bookie giving you £25 winnings. You might feel a little hard done by. (obviously you have that very tiny chance of winning the big prize that you don't have on a single horse) so maybe that's why we pay our £2 tax. Sorry, I mean stake.

Just off the phone to Lotto. It seems my DD comes under an old system no longer used. I have to re-apply for a DD next week. Helpful person but it seems awful complicated to me.

That's odd, lyn - I've got a continuous DD for Lotto, it's just rolled into the new setup.

Sandy... I've been playing since the very start and have only won one tenner and twenty for 4 balls. If I'd put the ticket money in a tin I could've treated ABers to a drink at least. Ah well we live in hope.

Masma - you'd have £1857 in your tin.
