Default lotto is a not o

lotto is a not o 10.10.15



you had a formula

it was like a hidden code

the risk is loosing all familiar

because change is the panic mode.

i see the idea

giving us more chance

the 2 numbers is a javelin sphere

will this encourage more to get up and dance.

1 in 14 million were the odds

your chance has now fallen

who exactly gave these changes the nods

are there pockets with money swollen.

i must admit its clever marketing

a total psychological baffle

but to the retarded gambler you are targeting

yes i am criticizing the pathetic new raffle.

2 numbers now wins a bonus

so you are not bleeding

trot back to the shop as on you is the onus

a gambling addiction you are feeding.

will my poem to lotto slaughter

or the bad publicity cause spillage

i have made a decision with no alter

i condemn lotto from the box in the best ever highgate village.

If I do the lottery I only ever do lucky dips really.

However I find this increase in numbers annoying, if someone has taken the same numbers for years, then to keep them, they have to ignore the 10 new numbers totally.
Or they have to alter one or 2 to bring in numbers from the new ones in their line.

When this was handed to these people again, I do not recall all these changes being mentioned, just as I don't recall the increase to £2 a line either.

Anyway, many of my Cousins are convinced it is rigged anyway.

Rigged in what way Joey? Not to pay out each week? the way I look at it someone wins something every week so Id rather be in with a chance than not.

I don't think they're allowed to rig it? Would be breaking the law for one thing.

It is the ultimate form of clever people becoming phenomenally wealthy by preying on the desperation of the needy and the aspiration of the greedy.

A TRUE 'National Lottery' would have been Branson's TOTALLY non-profit making proposal, where ALL the net profits were returned to good causes.

The decision to refuse Branson was shameful and the 'reasons' cited for doing so pure arrogant B.S.

The National Lottery is a monopoly on greed.

I stopped doing the normal lotto when it doubled in price...wouldn't make much difference to me but what about all those people a little less well off. Robbing beggars.
Hubby still does it at work in a syndicate though.
We do the Euro. I won't lie, I want that million quid raffle rather then squillions of millions that I would be too frightened to enjoy.

We had this discussion at work last week I would hate to actually win a huge amount as I think it would not change my life for the better, as some people would treat you differently and expect too much

If you won enough, you'd never have to see those people again... I must admit I do buy a ticket when it's a big Euro rollover.

And, I'd go for the cake.

Am I still yellow?

I stopped playing the lottery when the price doubled too, mind you I see no difference with this and every othe game of chance or even an a larger scale the stock market... you pay your money you take your chance always with optimism that's the premise of gambling.

I totally agree again, it should have been given to Branson in my view too, even moreso after all these changes to it.
