I am guessing there will be more chances to win?
I probably get five tickets max a year- now it won't be any.

Don't you win more for matching 3 numbers or something ?
Still proper rubbish though. Its the old dears on their pensions who liked a little flutter who I feel sorry for. A couple of lines for £2 was ok, but £4 for the same thing will feel like a hell of a lot.

Absolutely right, it's a huge jump for pensioners who probably look forward to the lottery as the only enjoyment during the week.

It was £1 when it first started in 1994 though. That's the equivalent of £1.69 when 19 years worth of inflation is taken into account.

£25 rather than £10 for 3 numbers, and a draw for something like 10 x £20k prizes every draw day?

Doesn't seem to have been much of a problem for Euromillions.

That might be it for me.
I only do it because I've had the same numbers from the start and would be gutted to see them come in, and I'd stopped doing them.
BUT ... I NEVER watch the draw anymore, and therefore hardly ever even see what the numbers were. So even if by some long shot "my" numbers were to come in, the chances of me seeing that they did is almost as long of a shot again.
£2? Meh, time to stop.

Does this mean the price of the euromillions ticket is rising?

No, just the Lotto.

Nope.
That is when I bow out from participating. Have been doing it since beginning and had a few £10 and one of 4 numbers.
At £2 a pop it takes the fun out of it.

Don't wait for me!
I stupidly have one line twice a week. I'll now stick to Saturdays.

I know, it's ridiculous. Maybe it's time to stop again.

This will stop a lot of people from doing it. It is very rare that I get a lottery ticket (the last one I got was about this time last year) but it will get even rarer now. I would much rather spend that pound on a few 20p accumulaters. (I don't even do that very often).

there's a difference between winning £25 and £100,000,000
Is it £ 99,999,975 ? And if it is do I get sticker ?
