...since ten more numbers were added, greatly reducing the chances of winning a prize? And does anyone know how the change has affected the (greedy, in my opinion) organisers?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I never thought the organisers where greedy, they took less than 1%. Anyway, I stopped doing it when it went to 59 numbers and the already long odds tripled. I originally got caught up in the excitement and was doing 2 lines twice a week by SO. Doubling the price a few years back nearly made me stop. The increase to 59 sealed it finally. I think they have been very foolish with these measure and could kill it off. I now put the money into premium bonds, no interest but I still have the cash and who know may win something. The lottery is in essence a voluntary tax on the poor.
Well I buy a ticket every week and do not fit into that demograph -its just a bit of fun and if I ever did win a huge amount I would buy an air ambulance.(as well as an Astin Martin and indoor swimming pool) I have, however, seen plenty of people in our local village co-op buying £5 scratch cards that should have been spending it on groceries for their kids.
