Greedy is fine, thick is fine, but greedy and thick ..

Yeh, agreed, total idiots.

They should stake their money on safer bets, like a Tory election win

A friend of mine used to mock people queuing up to pay their 'stupid tax' for the lottery, until I pointed out he was queuing to buy cigarettes.

the stupidity of lottery ticket buyers was boundless

the chances are greater of your dying in a flight than winning the lottery

Yeh, agreed, total idiots

I just turned on my PC to do the lottery. Mind you, I am not a total idiot as I always greatly increase my chances by taking advice from my little puppet parrot.

PS by chances of winning there, you mean expectation of winning a jackpot. On the rare occasions I bother, I actually win quite a lot, probably get about 60% back. Seem to recall there's a legal requirement WRT winning proportion. The hope that one will win something big is quite a nice return for about ten quid a year! The real idiots are the people who keep spending money they can't afford.

Also they doubled the price of a ticket.

Don't play myself, but if I did would choose these numbers:

1,2,3,4,5,6

People sometimes tell me this is nuts as the chances of that exact combination occurring is tiny…. :

Yes, but 5000 lottery tickets is still rather a lot...

You would get a disappointingly small share of any jackpot.
