" OMG, for £100,000 a year, you could hire 3 guys as your PA earning £33k each, and have them work 8-hour shifts so one is always on hand " For when you actually win, allowing the pesky minions a 40 hour week and UK-average annual leave and bank holidays, you need 4.8 people to have one person on hand 24-hours per day. Giving the current average industrial wage of £35,880 would require £206,000 ish to pay 4.8 hot guys (and I assume the PAs will be hot guys) their wage and the added employment costs (employers NI etc). So you’d need to be frugal with the other £15 million. | |||

"And tonight's jackpot is . . . £125 million
How many Tickets do people Buy when jackpot this high?"I was sitting in a dentist’s waiting room once when the jockpot was over the £100,000,000 mark and there was a statistician on the radio. She said you have more chance of being struck by lightning twice in one day in two different locations than winning the euro lottery !! We tend to forget it’s euro wide! | |||

"It’s a whopping jackpot & will entice an enormous number people to buy a ticket or two. But I just wish Lottery would be a bit more transparent about the odds of winning it. But I guess saying you’ve got a 140 million to 1 chance of winning isn’t the greatest marketing hook "Lol, I don't think there's any cover up: players are under no illusions about their minuscule chances of a jackpot win, so no harm (apart from the well-recognised pitfalls of gambling) in focussing on 'making dreams come true.' | |||

"1} I didn’t say there was a ‘cover up’. 2) just said they should be more transparent about what the odds of winning are 3) Yes people know the odds are very low, but I’ve asked many many people over the years if they knew what the odds are, and hardly anyone knew it was 140m to 1 4) yes, people buy in the hope their dreams will come true …. but my point is the lottery should be more transparent that the chance of that happening is the population of Russia to 1 There’s a lot of people with minimum income that spend a lot on the Lottery completely unaware of the odds.

1} I didn’t say there was a ‘cover up’.
2) just said they should be more transparent about what the odds of winning are
3) Yes people know the odds are very low, but I’ve asked many many people over the years if they knew what the odds are, and hardly anyone knew it was 140m to 1
4) yes, people buy in the hope their dreams will come true …. but my point is the lottery should be more transparent that the chance of that happening is the population of Russia to 1
There’s a lot of people with minimum income that spend a lot on the Lottery completely unaware of the odds. I just think the Lottery has a social responsibility to be more obvious about the odds ~ especially in the case of people with low incomes. That’s all "I kind of agree with your last paragraph in that I've always considered the lottery to be a form of regressive taxation (I didn't initially agree with creating a National Lottery) and it was/is the responsibility of the Government to show social responsibility, rather than the lottery operator(s): twice a week + all the scratch cards is way too much, IMO, not to mention the plethora of other lotteries and opportunities to gamble! | |||
