The UK National Lottery has shaken up its rules. BBC News explains the changes and how it affects players. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34486328do you play it? if not, why not? if so, why? do you agree with assertions that it is a voluntary tax, voluntarily paid by the poor and/or stupid. |

I don't play it.
Because years ago when Richard Branson offered to run it for free they still gave it to Camelot.
Crooked as f**k.

I do play it,
Because for a couple of quid there's a very slim chance I can retire on Monday and not ever have to worry about money again.

I only play when there is a Euromillions double rollover or more simply because £10 million is simply not enough.

Only time I did it was when it was a work syndicate about 10 years ago, and the only reason I did it was out of spite, I simply didn't want my workmates to win the lottery without me.

one of my good mates from school got 5 balls and the bonus ball for just short of half a million.
this was within a year of when the lottery started. back then he could have really set himself with a mortgage free property or two and a flash motor.
instead he spunked the lot on drugs,booze,women and gambling.
i still play every week with the vain hope that one day i can win the lot and do exactly the same as he did.

I'll chuck a score at the euro when it's a double rollover, but that's only when prompted by the old man. Like Arb, I'd sooner do a starchaser on the footy, and sweat with Stelling  |

Used to play it when it was a quid. £2 and the new rules are pretty stupid. Think it's had its day with Camelot- let someone else have a go
