Because online takes a couple of seconds.

Granted, plenty of people will have a routine that includes popping into the shops, but I don't see the inside of a newsagent from one week to the next, I'd have to go out of my way to buy in a shop. Even then you have to queue in the lotto queue. Yawn.

Online, couple of clicks, done.

I reckon around 90% of sales still take place in shops.

I'd say it's even closer to 95% myself, the online segment is mostly aimed at the 18-35 age range, (i.e. that god awful Guru advert promoting online play), while the vast majority of "draw games", (i.e. non scratchcard sales), in our outlet are to over 40s.

There are so many more options available to the younger gambler online than simply the lotto, whereas on the high street it's a simple bookies v lotto agent choice.

Put in my numbers last night. It told me I had won a euro, in last night draw.
Had a look today at the numbers, looks like I won nothing. Showed the date of the drawing, but must have shown Saturdays numbers or something.

Is it just me or have the new lotto owners massively reduced the 5+bonus prize. Top price 10.2m, 2nd prize only 25k?

Its just you.

5+ Bonus was always €25,000 (IR£12,000 back 90's IIRC)

The 5 and 4 number prize categories are also based on whether or not the jackpot is won - if it goes they are lower and vice versa.
