lottery
does anyone agree with this? we should have two national lotteries, the midweek one should be for people on an average income of 30k or less, including the unemployed.. this would include 20 wkly prizes off 100k and 10 at 25k, the less well paid could still do the other lottery but not vice versa, this would take people of the dole.

Re: lottery
I don't like the idea.
The people on low incomes are the ones who can least afford to fritter a few pounds a week on the lottery. It encourages gambling and false hopes - the odds against winning are phenomenal. Better that they be encouraged to save those few pounds and then buy premium bonds .....where their money does not disappear into some funding for some project they are never likely to benefit from. |

would never work, people on benefits, or earning under 30k, would need to be able to prove the fact fer starters, then some bright spark in government would proclaim, reduce benefits, they can afford to squander it.;)

The lottery is an even field the only stipulations are:- To be in it you must pay your money & to win it you must be lucky. Let's keep it like that eh? |

Instead of 1 20, million quid winner, have 20 1 million quid winners. Who among the working classes can handle 1 million quid sensibly, never mind 20 million quid. Retlaw |

Winning the lottery is quite simple.All you have to do is pick 43 numbers that won't be drawn out and then choose the other 6.

We've started investing in Premium Bonds and have already won two £50 prizes in 18 months, a damn sight more than we would have won on the Lottery plus we still have our original stake too. On top of the prizes we have also managed to pay for most of the renovations to our house with money we didn't miss each month. |

It does surprise me that Premium Bonds aren't given more advertising as many of the younger people I know have absolutely no idea what they are. I was explaining it to my nephew over Christmas and he couldn't get his head round the fact that you can win a prize but still have your original stake too. Investing in the country's fund will always be more attractive to me than Camelot's self-serving pot. |

You must be getting old. I was busy over New Year and was not on for a couple of days, Mick is only on in the morning and Mel is busy with the rabble on the dark side of the forum.
