Camelot have done it again,not only doubling the stake money and adding 10 more numbers,so decreasing your odds of winning from 14million to one to 45million to one...imagine going into a casino and them saying...oh! you can't just bet a tenner now it's £20 and you'll be playing against a stacked deck...they are getting very greedy...

The national lottery is a mug's game preying on the desperate. Someone once called it the "Prole tax"
