    “hahahahaha so now it costs £2 a go, but the minimum win is £25 instead of £10

    . . . . when was the last time you got a tenner then ?

    for the first few years it was a regular occurrence, then suddenly 'something' changed and now we're lucky to get it twice a year.

    Only one winner, and it aint you or me folks”

    “I think people are forgetting the benefits to the National Lottery making changes to it's Lotto game. Not only are bigger jackpots on offer but the prizes for matching three numbers has also increased and with the introduction of the Lotto Raffle http://tinyurl.com/a6h25du an extra 100 ticket holders a week will become £20,000 better off. I say bring on the changes!”

    “This is disgraceful as people who are desperate buy these tickets and scratch cards in the belief that they will win. Very bad timing and something that maybe should have been made as an additional prize fund and as such leave the Lotto at just one pound.

    State sponsored gambling is what this is all at a time when gambling is already becoming a national past time; what with bookies now featuring on the main high streets and other gambling features sponsoring TV programs, it's all gonna end in tears!!.”
