No I've not won the top prize yet. Should i complain?

It's a licence to print money, I doubt they'll mess with it too much.
Seems the only thing that's changing is the new licence is meant to provide a better division of profits for "good causes".

The lottery is an idiot tax.

Indeed
Must be, when I see their name appear in my bank account I think I've been scammed.

The Camelot (or what used to be Camelot) lottery is only around 50% RTP. The Health Lottery has better odds at 70%, and even that's quite low.

Have they changed their slogan to "statistically it's very unlikely to be you"
On the other hand the national lottery gives a better % to "good causes".

I have a weekly flutter on the EuroMillions.
Won a fair few of the smaller prizes, <£30, but I don't drink or smoke so I just see it as my little vice. It's a fiver a week, the Mrs spends more than that on one coffee.

I knew of someone very similar in terms of spend. He also won very little from it.
He was rich all the time though as he had millions already.

I'll spend occasionally just to keep the dream alive, usually when the euro millions jackpot goes above 150 million.
That's just nuts
