So they introduce a new bottom prize, a free go in a lottery you haven't a hope of winning.Wow how generous. If these changes happen and they add extra balls in October then my last lottery ticket will be bought in September.

not a fan of the free ticket prize seems like a way to tempt in new players as others leave...and a waste of ticket I'm wondering if they realise the losses that may be possible with this and how much ticket paper is wasted doing it...
And I would love to see the operstors axe all changes scrap all midweek games except for Euro millions and just get back to a Saturday night draw!!!

Get the forum's resident TinFoil Fedora wearer and Conspiracy exposer RUSure on the case, I'm sure he'll conclude it's part of Afroman's plan to destroy S66.

yes a hidden agenda's quite possible mate, just not the one you said.

^What do tyou think it could be?

^i don't know mate, probably got something to do with aliens or dead people. and quite probably purgatory!

When does Camelot's licence expire?

Here is some information. Not sure how accurate any of it is though.
