By advertising it you are statistically lowering your chances of success.

They either sell all the tickets and get top whack, or don't and the winner instead gets to receive the ticket money taken (minus a bit).

For the punters, well it's just a lottery like any other. If you fancy the prizes and the odds then why not.

PS I have a regular punt on http://www.bestofthebest.co.uk/

How many times have you won?

I bet there's a few "property millionaires" feeling a bit now.

Still, wait till we hit the bottom and pile in again.

Boomed!
