Your faux outrage is noted.

Why do you need to take a cheap shot at England??

Do you think the USA is such fantastic place to live.

I'll choose rain everyday of the week.

Have more respect, especially after yesterdays bombing.

Must-win draws with better roll down odds only happen sporadically, so as far as im concerned the others are a better play.

Probably makes more sense to wait until they announce the must win drawing and play.

Then it continues to roll down...

The 1st division prize is added to the pool distributed to people who match 5 numbers (88 did that last draw .. it would have added ~GBP 260,227 to the usual GBP 1,071 last draw).

And if there are no division 3 winners.. it rolls down to 4th division (match 4 numbers... 6391 people won GBO 95 last week...)..

And if no on be picks 4 numbers.. it continues to roll down.

What if nobody hits a 5 of 6 plus the bonus ball, then what

To the Winner in England:

You need to do the right thing with your newly won money,

and move to California, USA. You'll not find better weather in the USA,

or in most places, on the globe. Certainly not in England, where it rains

excessively.

I'd be disappointed to learn you did otherwise.

Anyway, it's what I'd do, as I can't imagine going anywhere else in this doggone

country, after such a 'modest' win. Here, on the East Coast, it's also rained a lot,

with the ugly... [ More ]

l took a gander at the 2nd prize payout for PB this past weekend expecting a million plus for the CA winner, but it seems players out here are more inclined to go for MM at the present time, given the 2nd prize payout as of late between the two. Who knows how CA is going to react once MM goes to $2 a ticket ...oh well.

I hope this helps.

Here in the States we are looking at a PB jackpot of $250,000,000.00 with odds of 292,200,000: 1

The complaints I notice are players who stop playing PB until larger jackpots are reached.

Good Luck to Camelot.

Worse odds and rollover cap, if I played UK Lotto I'd abandon ship and play Euromillions and Oz Lotto.

The National Lottery is expecting a rush for tickets this week as a must-win 25 million (US$32.5 million) jackpot means the odds of winning the top prize are six times better than usual.

After ten consecutive draws without a jackpot winner, the total prize fund must be won this Wednesday so if nobody correctly predicts all six numbers the 24.7 million jackpot will be won or shared by anyone who matches five numbers plus the bonus ball.

The must win rule is triggered when the prize fund rea... [ More ]
