yes, a bigger prize but much less chance of winning it.

Surely the point of a lottery is the chance to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams ? I'd not refuse a £1M win, but I can dream that much wealth. I'd rather the odds remained slim but the jackpot keep on growing. If the good lord wants me to win they know they just have to make my numbers come up, regardless of the odds against it.
Camelot needs to go back to school, if they think that by increasing the number of balls gives people a better chance of winning !
What this will do, is to increase Camelots profits, in the same way that doubling the price of entry, from £1 to £2 did recently. Virgin should have been awarded the contract, not Camelot, as they pledged to do it without profit.

I think the point Camelot are making is that while the chance of getting the big prize has shrunk, they have introduced a new two-ball prize -- if winning a free entry to the next game counts as a prize, anyway.
I only played the lottery once, to mark my 15th birthday -- and then again a few years later when someone bought me a ticket as a birthday present. But the material difference between odds of 1 in 14 million and 1 in 45 million is surprisingly light in some sense. You are now only about three times less likely to gain what was an already highly unlikely prize.

Strange the Canadian Company (Pension Fund) which own the lottery has increased the cost and now reduces the chances of winning 'The Big One' and yet the national lottery in Canada still only uses 49 numbers!
Plus, as a bye the bye, does Government still receive the same percentage of tax on the Lottery as it did when run by British firms?

I still play via the syndicate - but we halved the number of rows.
I changed to Thunderball for my own ticket.
Both of these are only for the Saturday draws.
I've never won anything on the Health Lottery.
I've never done the Postcode Lottery - I don't want to commit to a set number of draws.
I have entered the Free Postcode Lotter - haven't won it yet - but check every day to get my 1p bonus - sitting at £2.85!!!!!!!!
