Price inflation in the Euromillions

Curly Judge · 2016-09-24 09:09:06

I notice this morning that the price of a Euromillions ticket has gone up by 25%. On the other hand, the top prize, has gone up by only 2 million, approximately 13%. Is there anybody keeping an eye on these guys?

Have the smaller prizes increased to account for the increased ticket prices?

The Irish increase in numbers on the lotto recently was worse for punters..the Euro millions is better bang for your buck still with the price increase...

Just noticed that myself stopped doing the main lotto after the last price incteases and changes. They are trying to take my last wee flutter away.
