Camelot, the National Lottery operator, doubled the price of a lottery ticket using the argument that jackpots would be bigger but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Wednesday's Lotteries appear to be being artificially inflated with £2.5 million jackpots seeming to be the norm, however since Wednesday 16 October's Jackpot was NOT won and it "Rolled Over" to Saturday which Camelot predicted to be £6,228,639 and which, in fact, turned out to be £4,860,213 this would mean that Saturday's Jackpot without the Wednesday Rollover would ONLY have been £2.3 million (probably the LOWEST ever Saturday Jackpot since the lottery began).
Where have all the punters gone if the Jackpot has gone down in spite of doubling the price?
