New UK National Lottery operator wants to cut ticket prices in halfReply
Here's what I would like these new operators to do for The National Lottery when they get the license. 1) Bring the Lotto UK ticket cost down to a pound, get rid of the Jackpot cap and Rollover limits for Lotto UK, allow players to play a minimum of two lines on a Lotto UK ticket (One line for free and another line costing 1), and lowering the numbers from 59 to 53 2) Bring all those ideas I sent to Camelot during the lockdown to life.

Time running out for $7 million NY lottery winner to claim prizeReply
In 2012 it was revealed that 75m a year remains unclaimed, equating to more than 1.4bn in total. And we re no different to other nations, by the way; last year $2.04bn of lottery prizes went unclaimed in the US. Camelot, for its part, tries to find the winners in various ways. Unclaimed prizes are announced after two weeks, identifying an area of around 100,000 people to preserve the winner s anonymity. From then on it contacts local media relevant to where the ticket was purchased, sometimes

New "Online" LotteryReply
If this is lottery targeting UK and it is not national lottery then it is not legal. There is only one major lottery allowed in uk. Curacao seems to be a new place for this sort of underhand activities. I also have heard of certain groups in curacao pretending to be lottery syndicate but actually they are asking for you to pay them, buy tickets on your behalf at around twice the value of actual tickets, get 1% of your winnings. They were even saying that they don't have time to send you ac

Help with understanding formulaReply
Lex113, I was searching for anything that explained forward-backward algorithms, how they worked, and how to set one up. The PDF I discovered has to do with Bayesian methods for lottery draws. It's based on a study of the U.K. National Lottery. I figured that I once I understood it, I could adapt it to U.S. style lotteries and see what the results might be. I was hoping for someone that understands this stuff well enough to explain it to me. I'm in way over my head, that's why I asked.

One way or anotherReply
If you are in fact correct, and I am in fact wrong, then you should file a complaint with the UK Lottery. A check of their past results... http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/results/resultsHistory/resultsHistoryAction.do shows they have paid out a fixed L10 (ten pounds) for matching 3 of 6, regardless of how many people matched higher prizes. As long as those rules are still in effect, the answer is still no .

A 'risk-free' lottery
Sales of Premium Bonds continue apace. So are they really Britain's best kept secret , as National Savings likes to describe them? What are premium bonds? Premium Bonds were introduced in 1956, when the government tried to encourage ordinary wage earners to save by running a 'risk-free' lottery. Now 23 million people in the UK own at least one premium bond. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2779179.stm
