UK Lottery expecting sales surge with must-win £25M jackpotNews Story

Largest-ever UK Lotto jackpot has players... angry?News Story
By Todd Northrop In the United States, a record jackpot is cause for celebration and waves of ticket-buying, but in the United Kingdom players are bemoaning tomorrow night's record 42.2 million (US$62.62 million) Lotto jackpot and threatening to boycott the game, according to local media reports.

UK National Lottery jackpot dwindling - Is it worth playing anymore?
I might stop playing this game and double stake on the Euro millions instead as it used to pay 20 million on a Saturday night, but this Saturday it was only 2 million, what next 200,000? I wouldn't mind so much but they have also doubled the cost of a ticket from 1 to 2 just doesn't seem worth it anymore.

UK National Lottery sees sales dip due to growing economic uncertaintyReply
Nothing is delivered to your home, everything is online. In the UK, players can set up their numbers and play them on a continuous basis. Players can also pay by monthly direct debit from their bank accounts, while low value prize money is automatically credited to the same bank account. The management of the UK National Lottery is streets ahead of any US State Lottery.

Washington man finds winning lottery ticket worth $2 million in his car windowReply
This is exactly why I like online subscriptions. The UK National Lottery has one of the best online services. Players can pay by direct debit and prize money is automatically credited to the same account. Unless you win a major prize or jackpot, then the lottery contacts the lucky winner with the good news and the claims process begins.
