it really is,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,,,,,,,,,a lottery.

i stood at the counter in morrisons yesterday,
and this woman,
had a couple of small children with her,
stood filling in a lottery ticket.
boy yelled "one".
girl yelled "two".
boy yelled "three".
mum said "oh come on,i can't put 1,2,3.
how about all those other numbers?

life eh?

The fact that a ticket containing just numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 is as likely to win as any other shows what a waste of time it is to punters.

If that were the case, the jackpot would pay less than 3 numbers

Eh?

If 1,2,3,4,5,6 came out, Tone, the sheer weight of people who do those numbers as a matter of course would saturate the upper prize tiers which are represented as a percentage pool of the prize fund.

Three numbers only guarantee £10 but no other tier does as far as I'm aware. In which case the disproportionate percentage of players winning would totally distort the prize fund

I'm puzzled as to why you think a lopsided amount of people do numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 Bert.
I would imagine it was the LEAST bought ticket myself!

It's not, Tone. It is by far and away the most common ticket bought and is so for every draw (10,000+ buyers). Camelot have said in terms of it ever coming about that it is their worst eventuality.

Never ever underestimate how truly fucking stupid the British public can be, Tone.
