In a previous job many years ago I was part of a lottery syndicate for about a year. It cost IR£0.50 per panel then so each of us paid £1 for both the Wednesday and Saturday night draws. Quite often we won something small with 4 numbers or whatever but divided up between about 15 people it came to pennies. I added up that over the course of a year, my total winnings came to I think around £21 for my investment of £104. I decided to opt out.
Yes, you might win a huge prize in theory (and in theory I could win the TdF) but the odds are strongly against you....
Better off to put £1 or £2 a week into a piggie bank, at the end of the year you will have a lot more money then they do from their winnings.
