But why not 2 x 35 or 4 x 17.5?
All massive wins in their own right. The issue is that for almost everyone, once you win above a certain amount it makes no difference to how you live your life. There's plenty of evidence that massive wins don't have a long-lasting effect on ticket purchases so why not spread the lurve?
Lottery isn't about the reality but the dream. When it gets big, it makes all the news and people start talking, even writing threads on CC about it.
I entirely think you are correct that in reality it makes no difference, but reality has little to do with lottery hype, hence the massive rollovers.

Really? That works out at around 1.5%pa. YOu can get 3% here on savings of up to 20K without the risk.

The Premium Bonds prize fund is set to 1.5% of the total fund so that's what you'd expect to get over time as a return.... but people dream of the big one...

Nah, I've got the real answer to getting rich and I'm not giving it away that cheaply but for £100 I'll let you in on it.

Wonder how well some good causes actually do from donations given by winners to their favoured charities in addition to the funding given directly by the National Lottery.
Really? I thought it was the base rate, ie 0.5% currently.

Just checked their website, it's been reduced from 1.5% to 1.35%.... they kept that quiet!!

I belong to two syndicates at work. Its difficult not to join if your team run one, what would it be like if they won the jackpot and you weren't in it?
A lad I went to school with in Ellesmere Port did just that. He'd been in a syndicate for ages, pulled out, and within a couple of months the others were £2000,000 and a bit richer!

Sounds like a bargain.
PM me your card number and the last three digits on the reverse and I'll transfer the funds across

You risk getting nothing as opposed to 3% guaranteed (double your earnings)

There are quite a few at our place, we are in non of them. Every time there is a 'biggie' lottery fever goes wild and I am always told that I will be in the office all on my own Monday morning because they are going to win
Monday morning they shuffle in heads down and lottery not mentioned
