National Lottery price hike only 2 weeks away

We thought we should give you another heads up!


If you aren't aware already, the nation's favorite lottery operator, the National Lottery, is upping the price of a Lotto ticket from the 5th October 2013. 

The cost of playing the Lotto doubles on 5th October 2013 


After much protest and criticism the National Lottery have stuck to their original plan & will change how the game is structured as well as raising the prices.

While the cost of a lotto ticket hasn't increased since the National Lottery started 19 years ago, it has come as a shock to some players, including ourselves.

One disgruntled player was quick to voice his concerns through the National Lottery's Facebook page

Geordie Mick said: “It’s becoming a game for the rich. Poor people will never have a chance of bettering ourselves now.” 

Pauline Leather, another former Facebook fan added: “As a pensioner on a budget I can’t afford to be paying £2 a line. You’ve just lost a customer and should hang your heads in shame.”


It's not all doom and gloom!


Here at LottoByText, we've thought long and hard about how we can allow lottery syndicate players to still enjoy the benefits of LottoByText whilst the cost goes up.


Therefore, we've decided on a price fix! 


As LottoByText players, you will not be affected by the price increase. 

In fact, as a special thank you for being loyal customers we're going to be offering extra special promotions to coincide with the National Lottery £2 price hike. Watch this space!

Importantly, nothing will change if you are a LottoByText customer. Your weekly subscription costs will stay the same and your lotto numbers will stay the same.

This is how?

As part of the Lotto makeover, the National Lottery are adding a brand new raffle with at least 50 guaranteed winners of £20,000 in every draw. So that's 100 raffle winners each week. 

With your typical LottoByText syndicate you'll get an extra 10 entries into the raffle each week, at no extra cost.

There's even more to shout about!
