The cost of playing the Lottery is set to double - but more winners will share in the prize pot, operator Camelot has announced.

Camelot UK managing director Andy Duncan said: "Our players still love Lotto but after 18 years they say they want more from it.

"We've spoken extensively with them to develop a re-energised game and the changes we'll be introducing in the autumn to rejuvenate Lotto will give them what they have asked for:

A few years ago in another forum I asked myself the question "Which UK lottery is the best "investment" for my money, taking into account how much a ticket costs and how easy it is to win and how big the jackpot is". Lets call this , for want of a better phase, its value for money.
I posted my findings at the time. A number of changes have taken place since then, the price of a Euromillions ticket went up from

One philosophy 'A' is :- I'm not too bothered about consolation prizes, I'm out for the Big One.
The other philosophy 'B' is:- I like to get some money back in smaller prizes, but I wouldn't mind the jackpot either.

Summarising:- If you are playing for the Big One (Tables A) :- if you ignore hotpicks and just consider the Euro Lotto and Thunderball draws, then,
a) Where today a Lotto triple rollover easily beats even a Massive Euromillions 135 M jackpot draw, in future it will only beat a 100M rolllover Euro draw.
b) where today the Sat Lotto beats all Euromillions draws less than 5 X rollovers, in future its lead reduces, but it still beats a 4x Euro rollover.
c) The Wednesday Lotto falls two places so it only beats Thunderball, a non rollover Euromillions and the Health lottery.(????)

Hi Frank ,it was a brilliant idea of you and great effort to put all together!
Immensely thanks ,I've just printed your post and had the file for naving a good read later.

Despite I'm not UKL player and I'm absolutely uncable to become Jackpot lover (I feed great respect for HotPick Lottery but) I didn't liked the last news as I'm convinced that the national lotteries are for the "nations" so must be affordable!

That canadian teacher's pensionistic fund if really believes that can save(of the crisis) the retirement payment of the ex canadian teachers by pesting the feets of the english players, is to discover that the players can get angry and there will be thousands of "Frank" who will change the own vision about all this just ad hoc

Because least but not last we're in the on-line lottery gambling epoque ,
today completely trusted and EU based for addition american bookies ofer $900 payout for a straight 3-digit number ,who dares really to predict what the playing preferences of the next generations can be?

Just a dump question -wasn't the Health Lottery by contract and
by licence only an one -year- nobile- attempt some 50 millions to be rised
for most respectful health purpuses?

Is it still exists?

I don't know much about the Health lottery. I never play it for obvious reasons (see my tables). There is no information on their website http://www.healthlottery.co.uk/play-lottery to suggest that it would exist for a limited period. The website lists the charities who benefit and they are health related problems not funded by the NHS.
