Can't help but wonder whose pockets the increase will line. !00% increase! Is that so that the lottery fund is increased to cope with EU influx and subsequent housing benefit crisis

Probabley to help pay for the olympics.
Why can't they have a registration scheme, when you buy a ticket give them your ID and they contact you if you win could be on a voluntary basis if you prefered the football pools can do it why not the lottery.
To many major and minor prizes not being claimed by people loosing tickets, not checking results etc

Between the devil and the deep blue sea on this one .... We currently play the same two lines twice a week - we've played the same numbers for years. It's quite a hike to £2 a line, BUT, if we were to drop to just once a week on a Saturday, and we saw "our numbers" coming up on the Wednesday....:Doh: .... doesn't bear thinking about!!
(But a £25 prize replacing the £10 for 3 numbers? It's tempting to stay as we are)

they will shoot themselves in the foot if they increase it, why do they need to do so isn't multi millions of pound profit enough. Makes you sick.

greed.. pure and simple greed... lets milk it for all it's got.. take the punters for a ride.. :Angry:

We play one line per week, same numbers, on-line account.. that's £4 per month.. I won't be paying eight quid.. so I'll just cancel..

towing for 20 odd years but now have our first motorhome.
Reckon I will just go back to doing the pools. Don't do the lottery regular anyway so my little bit wont be missed.
Branson (Virgin) offered to run it for no profit but they still gave it to Camelot.
Mebbies they should change the name tp grabelot :roflmto:

No-one has to play the lottery, so I don't care whether the price goes up or not. :RollEyes:

That's absolutely correct..

just as I don't care if they slap £10 tax on a pint of beer or bottle of plonk and just as how non smokers don't care that fags are taxed to the hilt... we all make choices about how we enjoy or money ...

none are required to sustain life..

There are too many variables in the poll

whilst i must agree
i just stuck 4 up
that i thought would encourage a vote or two

foregone conclusion it was a catch by camelot
to raise profits as the lotto has fallen
since it first started
and rollovers went to 18,000,000

lucky now to get a 3 mill jackpot

must go got quizzers to go and annoy

Sky put the cost up without bettering the service... Dumped.

Lottery have put up cost... Dumped.

Sick and tired of all these big crappy organisations coining it in without offering any extra VFM, so we ( woman and me ) are simply voting with our wallet.

If more people did the same perhaps ( ok, unlikely ) someone MIGHT notice the drop in revenue

Sorry everyone... :Sad:

...I reduced the number of lines I played a couple of months ago (rows that my parents and my brother chose years ago, plus one of mine)...

...I've obviously brought Camelot close to bankcruptcy :Doh:

err correct me if im wrong but i thought the lottery was now owned by a canadian company - now Im not sure if they own camelot or if camelot sold out to a canadian company - i seem to remember a news item about it some 12 - 18months ago

Found it was a pension plan company
