Is the Lottery A Fix?

[Sam Handwich]

That Set for Life game has a rabbit off, there's barely been any winners since it started.

How have they ensured the payments for that long.

 

[Kevj]

Surely they need to prevent claims that any winner has won by fraudulent means. Or am i reading it wrang

I’ve read that back and I think you’re right. But you know what I mean

Lottery things should be removed from shops, make it online only. Stop the old fuckers clogging up the queue at Morrisons

They should make tabs illegal and just get rid of that stinking counter all together.

I'm astonished at how much people put on. Fair enough having a couple of quid flutter, but I regularly see people putting £20, £30+ on it. With all the hooha about fixed odds betting terminals and reducing how much you can spend in betting shops, I'm still puzzled as to how it's fine to gamble as much as you like in a supermarket.

A lot of that will be syndicates I’d reckon.

Would be nice to get it up mind.

Agreed

 

[Urban Silverback]

People still taking the mag fella seriously. Posts about conspiracy/inside jobs on just about every topic LOL.

It's pathetic isn't it

Blatant.

 

[Macho]

Always had my suspicions it's a fix.

I’m going to hoy a line on the Euros tonight though.

My palm has been itching like crazy lately and this thread is an omen.

It’s some sort of annuity policy I’m led to believe.

Your chat up lines need a lot of work marra

The lottery is great and long may it continue. The amount of money raised for good causes is staggering.

Have you any met someone who won the jackpot or is it like the Running Man?

I shared a table at a wedding with a lad who'd won £2.7m, and I also know of a couple who won just over £300,000.

Were you marrying him?

I'd have sucked his cock for half!

It will be to do with the surrounding regulations.

Ticket purchases will cease prior to the balls and machine being selected and set up to prevent insider influences positively affecting the result of the draw.

They need to be able to prevent claims that any winner has won by chance rather than fraudulent means.

Do they still do that shit do they? Guinevere n all that? Haven't seen the lottery draw in donkey's years.

 

[matt228]

Why would you need to "fix" something with such ridiculous odds to begin with?

Spot on. Of course it isn't fixed. The odds are just massively stacked against everyone who plays.

 

[joemcdokes]

Yes, I've just had an email to say I'm winning it tonight.

 

[Junior Birdman]

I rarely do it anymore, especially since it became 59 numbers. Prefer to waste my money on the Irish or 49's at the bookies.
