Has Everyone Else Halved Their National Lottery Stakes

[suechu]

... since the price doubled or is it just me?

[chrissa1]

Yes, I have. Just play on Saturday now.

[Baldric]

No

[ELVIS68]

Same stake, fewer lines

[paddywak]

Yes,like chrissa we only play on Saturday now

[suechu]

Very succinct Baldric.

I play 1 LD twice a week 'stead of 2. Grasping b------s. And yes I do know it's for charity.

[Everhelpful]

Just switched my numbers to the Thunderball,still never won though.

//Has Everyone Else Halved Their National Lottery Stakes?//

I replied with a perfectly reasonable answer 'No'

Seems it was not enough!

[suechu]

sorry Baldric, didn't mean to be rude! As you say...

[Prudie]

No as I only do the euromillions anyway

[sandyRoe]

I just do the Euro now where there's been a rollover or two.

[aelmpvw]

i still buy the same amount of tickets but i've noticed that the wednesday draw is often a rollover, probably because sales have plumeted

[davetuc]

I think they dropped a massive clanger by making it £2. Yes, I play the same stake but half the lines. Also, I bet there are loads of unclaimed prizes in their 'raffle', as it's fine if you play online, as tickets are checked automatically, but I reckon there are loads of winning tickets unclaimed.

[woofgang]

yes i have more than halved my stake and put it into euro millions now.

[Old_Geezer]

I would find it difficult to half my stake. Or easy/automatic depending on how one views it.

[suechu]

Agree totally, davetuc, the equation is simple - they double, i halve

[suechu]

... and only play online, as inevitably lost ticket more often than not

[Gizmonster]

I don't play anymore but if I did play, my answer would depend:
If I played the same lines with same numbers, week in week out (like I did when I used to play), I would dread my numbers coming up and me missing out, so I'd possibly play the same lines, resulting in me doubling my money.
If, however, I just played lucky dips, I'd probably halve my lines, keeping my spend at the same level.
