    Are there any figures available showing lotto sales/prizes before and after these changes? I wonder has it backfired on them financially.

    so it has finally been paid, I am sure like all lottery players ,just what was the reason lotteries had for withholding payment until last day for claiming, as a weekly and daily player we all need to know what all the fuss was about ,it could be you next

    For people that do the lotto each week, why not do it once a month instead for the combined weekly values? Quadruple your chances of winning

    funny how a solicitor had to be got to enable the winnings be collected, i assume interest will be paid on the winnings from day one, it seems from reading bits and pieces online from the uk that camelot are not well got over there

    I do the euromillions every now and again. Sure the odds are crazy. Thats what the person who won 100 million said to himself a while back (and many more before him). Don't know the stats but its probably won every couple of months or so to the tune of over 50 million.

    Once you're not blowing the household budget whats the harm in spending a tenner on a 3 line euromillions once a week. Some serious killjoys here. Someone wins eventually. Same people would probably spend the same money on lunch everyday.

    Its called having a bit of fun ffs.
