Where have all the punters gone if the Jackpot has gone down in spite of doubling the price?  |
We are seriously thinking of packing it in.
Hubby runs a syndicate at work as well.
Okay,so 3 numbers now gets you 25 quid instead of a tenner, but the higher up you go the prizes are not as good as they used to be.
What about all those people on small incomes...hard to scrape together £2 a ticket for their dreams.
