Thrilled, Disappointed, Shouldn't Complain.

As the Lottery website was kaput on Saturday night, I popped out and picked up a couple of lucky dips. As I had seen that the jackpot hadn't been won, I didn't bother checking my numbers.
Pulled it out of my wallet today, went online, I got 5 numbers, whoopee. Checked the prizes and saw 5 numbers £84,302, over the moon, thought it seemed quite a lot but I've never looked at this prize level before. Decided to check once again and I'd misread it, £84,302 was the prize fund for this level, 61 winners,£1,382 each. Really felt quite stupid, and disappointed. Then again £1,382 I didn't have on Saturday morning, shouldn't complain.

Does anybody know if The Post Office pays out this sort of prize, seem to remember hearing that once. Don't really want to ring Camelot.

Thanks all, it's going straight into the new greenhouse fund. Special thanks to Mamyalynne and Buenchico for all the info. Why I didn't search it I don't know, still giddy from thinking I could have a new car.
