Pete76 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Double the cost, double the winnings? This is a rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Double the cost, double the winnings? This is a rip off. It was always a rip off, it's just a more expensive rip off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Of course it is a rip off..... imagine buying your tickets on a Friday for the Friday and Saturday draws and then winning on the Friday.... you would have wasted your money buying the Saturday ones then!! In all honesty, having known two jackpot winners and a thunderball winner and someone in a syndicate who won the jackpot quite recently, I've no chance!!

P J Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 if you get 3 numbers right you win £9. Not bad for a 56/1 chance. Getting 4 right is over 1000/1 and this week paid £60. Camelot and their pet charities are laughing all the way to the bank. Then again, is 2 quid too much to pay for the dream of being rich, you decide.......

Dizzy Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Doesn't matching 3 numbers = a £10 win PJ ? That's what we have got on the odd occasion that we've won anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 minus your £1 stake makes £9 winnings Dizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah I just realised that as I was posting on another other topic and hoped I could get back here to edit mine before you or anyone else notcied my stupidity. Clearly too late as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 It would be more interesting if they spread the cash down, no need for more than a £million top prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 How many national lottery draws are there these days. I know they had a wednesday and a saturday one then the friday one and also a daily one after that I gave up counting. I used to do the saturday draw only but after a two year stint and winning just ten pounds thought better of it. Brother in law managed to get five numbers up once, got ninety five pounds because of the fact that quite a few people had a similar experience that week. the following week Mrs sid got four numbers and got a hundred and twenty pounds. brother in law was well gutted at that one and hasn't played it since.

Bazj Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I once won 100 national lottery scratch cards in one of those "put your business card and enter the draw" competitions..... after about 4 hours of scratching, I won £18.00!!Never bought one since!!

wolfie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 They say the Lottery is just a tax on stupid peoplewe'll see who's stupid when my 6 numbers of 4 12 25 31 and 36 win me big money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 PS Baz... you were £18 pounds richer than you would have been if you'd not won them for free. Possitive mental attutude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 So hasn't the prize money changed? I thought they said it would be more for the smaller prizes to compensate? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 So hasn't the prize money changed? I thought they said it would be more for the smaller prizes to compensate? Bill Yes Bill and I matching 3 will give £25 rather than a tenner. They are being a bit naughty though as they are saying that 'the prize for matching three numbers more than double to £25' Yes it will more than double but people will also have to pay DOUBLE to hopfully win it. Maybe PJ can work this out for me. Match 3 . . . . £1 stake = £10 win VS £2 stake = £25 win. What is the actual % increase Matching 4 numbers will increase from £60 to £100 (or was it £120 can't remember) But on the down side matching five numbers will apparently drop by £500 to £1,000 while matching five numbers and the bonus ball will halve to £50,000. I still wouldn't mind matching 5 and the bonus ball but what are the odds of that when I can't even manage to win a tenner more that a couple of times a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 For those who think it's a 'Rip Off' don't buy a ticket, Simples! And for those who may use the same numbers every week... huge dilemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
