National Lottery

When the lottery was changed a few weeks back and it went from £1 a go to £2 a go, the prize for 3 corrects numbers went from £10 to £25. Since the changeover, I have won £25 twice !

So.... did the odds on getting three correct change for the better in our interest ? The reason I ask is that I normally I win the £10 only once a year.

Dunno, but I still haven't won anything since the changeover.

[ummmm]

We win small amounts on a regular basis. We play on line.

[mikey4444]

So do I ummmmm, although it shouldn't matter one way or the other how you enter each week. Perhaps it is just luck but I seem to recall that when the announcement was made of the changes, something was said about the odds being shortened. Wondered if anyone might know.

I've won nothing since the price increase, but that could be because I refuse to pay two pound a ticket.

[anneasquith]

I think some people stopped playing when the price increased.

Still 49 numbers to pick from,
how would the odds have changed?

[aelmpvw]

the odds of winning always remain the same irrelevant of the price of the ticket

Your lucks just took a turn for the better. Don't forget your AB friends when you win the jackpot.

i bet i'm not alone in being annoyed that i pay an extra pound for a raffle i'm not interested in

[Tilly2]

Does anyone know anyone who has won the raffle?

[mikey4444]

Thanks everybody ! Of course the odds remain the same...should have seen that. 2 x £25 isn't a fortune, especially at this time of year.

When they doubled the price of the national lottery tickets. I changed over to the Health Lottery and won £50 the first week,
