So at a return of 2*£6.80 in £100 this is a 0.136 return on investment. Given an initial investment of £112,000,000, one could play the game 9 times before one is holding nothing more than a few coins. Good game, good game. Such a good game I wouldn't be surprised if it were illegal to set up one's own lottery that offered better odds.

I won 2 x £6.80 from the (actual) £100 worth of tickets.
Thats almost as poor as investing in Yell!
The odds to were at, 76,275,360 to “Win." and it was one lucky bugger in the UK!

To be fair. Thats what pissed me off. I decided to go mad. Logged on and it said debit cards only!!Originally posted by Saddo View PostThanks for that. The Lottery web site doesn't take credit cards and I'm sorry I confused everyone by making an untrue statement. I knew it would happen sometime this year.
So I drove off to Tesco's. Place me order and though 'oooo double clubcard points' got my receipt back and bugger all! Had a good mind to complain.
Anyway. I told the lady behind the counter, if I didn't win I was coming back tomorrow and would be lodging a formal complaint against her.
She just smiled nervously.

I have to say, I was pissed not to have got Clubcard Points though. If I'd known I would have used my Black Amex!
