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. 

As an added bonus you will also receive even more chances to win cash prizes.

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!

At no extra cost and as little as £4.50 per week LottoByText customers will get

• 5 EuroMillions Lines for the Tuesday or Friday draw

• 5 EuroMillions Raffle entries

• 5 Lotto Lines for the Wednesday and Saturday draw

• 10 Lotto Raffle entries

You don't need to be a mathematician to work out that playing in a LottoByText syndicate is good value & the best way to play the lottery. When you next think about putting a few pounds on the lottery, take a second to think about how many chances you want!

LottoByText syndicates will allow you to get 30 chances each week to win the major cash prizes.

Lottery Syndicate in Liverpool scoops £28M EuroMillions Jackpot!

Ever wondered what might happen if you forgot to pay your lottery syndicate subscription on time and the numbers hit the million-pound jackpot?

It’s a scary thought but you’d be surprised how often it happens!

The consequences can be disastrous, as we’ve found in Liverpool, where a group of 10 syndicate members scooped the £28 million EuroMillions jackpot, missing out the 11^th member who failed to pay up in time!

10-strong lottery syndicate in Merseyside scoops £28 million EuroMillions jackpot

 

The group of ten were colleagues and each pocketed nearly £3 million each.

Louisa Whitby, 31, claimed she missed out on her share of the jackpot as she was off work on the day payments were collected. She has now hired a solicitor and suing her colleagues to reclaim her missed fortune.

Is she due her share of the jackpot?

As she failed to contribute to her share of the syndicated lottery ticket, and without a good syndicate management contract in place, it will be difficult for her to contest the decision of the syndicate group to exclude her from the winning pot.

Missing your lottery syndicate subscription and not being able to claim your share of winning could be a major headache and concern.

It’s imperative therefore that you remember to buy and pay for that lottery ticket. It could be the biggest mistake of your life.

TRUST is also a major concern. How do you know your colleagues or friends can be trusted to share the winning?

Can you trust the syndicate manager to purchase the tickets? Can you trust them not to run off with the money if your numbers do come up?

These concerns can be eliminated easily when you join a professionally managed syndicate management group such as LottoByText or MatchMoreLotto.

What have you got to lose?

Friday 26th July will see 100 UK Millionaires made!

BREAKING NEWS

 

EUROMILLIONS PLAYERS ARE IN FOR A TREAT

 

On FRIDAY 26th JULY, the National Lottery will create 100 UK Millionaires overnight!

 

 

 

How?

 

Every Tuesday and Friday, the EuroMillions lottery draw takes place offering players the chance of taking home one of the largest lottery jackpots in the world. Each individual ticket bought includes a unique raffle ticket number. This means when you buy one EuroMillions ticket you are actually getting two chances of winning. One chance in the lottery jackpot draw and one in the Millionaires Raffle!

However, this is just not good enough for seasoned lottery players like you!

Lottery players want huge jackpots! 

One of the problems with huge jackpots is the winning odds are considerably low, especially when more people are inspired to win the multi million pound jackpot!

Increased Winning Chances

 

On Friday 26^th July, instead of the usual one millionaire guaranteed, The National Lottery has confirmed that it will create 100 UK Millionaires Guaranteed overnight via its EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle Draw!

The EuroMillions 100 UK Millionaires Raffle is based on tickets that have been bought.

Buying more tickets for the draw will further improve your chances of being picked as the lucky EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle winner. However, this could be a very expensive purchase. If you want to buy 10 tickets, it will cost you £2 per ticket; therefore raising you total spend to £20.

So how do you increase your chances of winning whilst keeping your costs down?

Play in a lottery syndicate and you could be the next jackpot winner! 

 

Through extensive research the National Lottery has concluded that 1 in 4 jackpots is won by a lottery syndicate. The statistic  is evident to the advantages of joining forces with friends, colleagues & family members to increase your chances of winning. While you have to share the winnings, you are decreasing your costs and increasing your chance to win the jackpot

LottoByText is throwing in 5 Free Syndicated Lines in the next Lottery Draw to boost your winning chances. You can try the service for free by texting STOP to 87770 immediately after you have opted in to the service. If you decide to stay, you’ll get 10 Lotto Lines (5 in each Wednesday and Saturday Lotto draw) and 5 EuroMillions Lines (in either Tuesday or Friday, depending on when you texted in) for £4.50 a week. 

Click here if you want your 5 Free Lottery Lines now.

 

This is an amazing deal that you do not want to miss!

£110 M EuroMillions Rollover Results - One Winner!

This Easter bank holiday proved to be one of the most momentous lottery weekends in the National Lottery’s history. FACT.

When the National Lottery announced they were to guarantee an £80M jackpot on Friday the 22nd March, our syndicate players couldn’t believe their luck. Not only were they boosting their chances of winning the jackpot by playing in a LottoByText syndicate, they were also automatically entered into the biggest EuroMillions jackpot of 2013.

There are some conspiracy theorists out there that believe the EuroMillions Rollovers are fixed (although this is obviously not true as all draws are completely random). However, the recent events did help ignite the argument as, low and behold, the EuroMillions jackpot rolled, not once, but twice!

This meant the tremendous £80M jackpot rose to over £110M by Friday 29^th March, just in time for the Easter weekend.

Here’s a quick run-through of the three EuroMillions draws that occurred over the previous couple of weeks.

Friday 22^nd March

Winning Numbers 12 – 27 – 32 – 34 – 49 Lucky Stars 8 – 9

Jackpot £85.33 M

EuroMillions Raffle Winning Ticket: KJN139799

Tuesday 26^th March

Winning Numbers 4 – 26 – 30 – 42 – 44 Lucky Stars 6 – 11

Jackpot £96.30 M

EuroMillions Raffle Winning Ticket: LJR996877

Friday 29^th March

Winning Numbers 13 - 30 - 43 - 44 - 46 Lucky Stars 5 – 9

Jackpot £112.01 M

EuroMillions Raffle Winning Ticket: MKY294628

As noted, with no jackpot winner on the first two draws, it rolled over to the fantastic £112 M jackpot by the time Good Friday came around. Reports are in from around Europe and it looks like the winning ticket was bought in France. The lucky French winner beat odds of 116,531,000 to one and if they can find their ticket, will take home a whopping €132,486,744 euros.

We also saw another £4.39 million in cash prizes won on this EuroMillions draw. The draw results state that five tickets won a tidy £395,567 each by matching five main numbers and one lucky star. While nine tickets won £73,253 each by matching the five main numbers only.

As you can see, don’t worry if you didn’t take home the full jackpot amount. There are still plenty of chances to win huge sums of money on the lottery. If you want to check to see if you have won any of the other cash prizes on the EuroMillions, please visit our results checker. This could be your lucky day.
