Changes To The National Lottery.
48 Answers
Have done the national lottery from the beginning but as of today I am opting out as Camelot have changed the chances of winning from one in 14 million to one in 45 million plus much lower chances of winning the smaller amounts too. Camelot owned by a Canadian investment Company. We should have given it to Richard Branson when the last contract to run the lottery was negotiated. My money will go into a jar instead .Will still have a stake in he Euro Millions and support the Health Lottery too. Anybody else opting out. Would love to see a mass protest.Camelot needs to be punished.

Must admit that my initial reaction was the same as yours when i heard what they were doing. However, i am one of those players who have used the same numbers since November 1994 and, having given it some thought, i realise it will be nigh on impossible not to catch the results from time to time. So myself and the rest of my little syndicate have decided to carry on playing (at least until the end of the year, when we will have another discussion) which is, of course, just what Camelot are banking on.

Well that's the dilemma .
If my numbers have come up in the past then it would be extremely unlikely that the same numbers would come up again .
But if i don't know , then i'm 'forced' to carry on using the same numbers , cos they might come up in the future , if they haven't come up already - if you see what i mean
