National Lottery Lotto Price Hike Anger's Nation

Lottery players are threatening to quit the Lotto as Camelot warns the price of a Wednesday and Saturday Lotto ticket is to double.

News of the National Lottery hiking the price of a Lotto ticket has sent the public into a furore, prompting a media back lash that could be catastrophic for the UK’s biggest and most popular lottery.

The National Lottery’s Facebook page has been flooded with complaints. One user wrote ‘Ppl ant got much money ,jobs are goin all over place ! How can you justify puttin up 100% ? ?’ While another angry poster shouted ‘The people will hate you for taking their dream away in a recession when we need our dreams the most.’ Pauline Leather also commented on the Facebook page: 'As a pensioner on a budget I can't afford £2.00.'

While the National Lottery has got some cleaning up to do I think it’s worth looking into the details of the changes. While the price has doubled, Camelot stated this was due to public consultation and an improved service. Let’s see.

  

What's changed?

• Guaranteed larger jackpots. Average jackpots on a Saturday bumped up to £5m and £2.5m on a Wednesday

• If you match 3 balls you’ll now take home £25 rather than £10

• A four ball match secures £100 rather than £60

• Lotto Raffle – making 50 £20,000 winners per draw.

However, there are some serious draw backs

• Prize pot for matching 5 numbers to drop by £500 to £1,000.

• Matching 5 numbers and bonus ball will get you £50,000, half the previous amount.

The biggest peeve for National Lottery players is the doubling of the cost of the ticket. For the cash strapped public another increase in price is the last thing we want.

This is why I think it’s vital we start to think about alternative ways to play the lottery. Playing the lottery is about winning. It’s about being in the mix in hope of winning a cash prize. While winning the jackpot is near impossible; winning a cash prize is achievable if you play cleverly.

This is why playing in a lottery syndicate makes so much sense.

You can reduce the cost of playing each week whilst increasing your chances of winning a cash prize.

Let’s look at how playing as part of a LottoByText syndicate boosts your chances of winning a cash prize.

Each week you receive 10 Lotto Lines & 5 EuroMillions Lines. With the new Lotto changes in the Autumn you will now also get 10 Lotto Raffle chances on top of the usual 5 Millionaire Raffle chances. Therefore for only £4.50 per week, you’ll have 30 chances of winning a cash prize, every week.

So for just under a fiver, you’re chances of being a lottery winner have rocketed.

You had better get yourself signed up before you miss out on your 5 free lottery lines in the next draw.

Lottery Syndicate wins £38 Million in Record Breaking 2012.

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s the year 2013.

Have you made your New Year resolutions?

Is this going to be YOUR year?

I really hope it is.

Before we begin to think about the exciting developments for LottoByText over the next year, I think it’s necessary to take a look at how exciting-a-year it was for Lottery players across the UK in 2012.

Where do we begin? (I’ll make it easy for you.)

What do Bradley Wiggins, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis all have in common?

The biggest event of the year has got to be the London 2012 Olympics. The National Lottery marked this memorable occasion with an extra-special draw. On the 24^th July, a world-record-breaking ‘100 Millionaires’ were created in a mammoth EuroMillions draw on the night of the opening ceremony.

Jump forward 6 months and the National Lottery, again, pulled out all the stops over the festive period. In the same vain as the Olympics super draw, 50 millionaires were guaranteed to be made in EuroMillions draws on Christmas and New Years Day, making 2012 one of the most prolific years for lottery giveaways.

It was also an amazing year for lottery syndicate players.

12 lucky bus drivers from Corby landed a windfall of £38,034,639, hitting the jackpot prize and walking away with over £3m each.

Over the whole of 2012, UK 323 millionaires were created, with a total of £850M paid out to those winners.

The National Lottery found the luckiest professions to be builders, care workers, administrators, drivers and engineers and the luckiest star signs were Capricorn, Aries and Virgo.

August also proved to be the most generous month for UK players. This month had the largest number of people who won big on the Lottery, creating 75 millionaires in August alone, who shared £237M in prize money between them.

What we all want to know now is what the National Lottery has up their sleeves this year!

Unfortunately, I can’t answer that question. Not yet any way.

Is 2013 going to be different for you?

Imagine being one of the lucky bus drivers in Corby. Imagine turning up to work and being told you’ve won over £3M. Imagine what you could do with that money!

LottoByText: 20 Years of SMS

Did you know on the 3^rd of December 1993, texting as we know it today was born.

While keyboards on phones hadn’t been invented yet, SMS was about to catapult communication into the 21^st century and transform how you and me were to talk ever after.

To mark this momentous occasion, LottoByText, the leading SMS based lottery syndicate operator in the UK, feel obliged to discuss the history of SMS and how far we have come over the previous 20 years.

To get us started, here’s a few examples of how texting has changed the English language and even influenced the way we speak:

BFF – Best friends forever

Swak – Sealed with a kiss

TTFN – Ta Ta for now

LMAO – Laugh my a** off

TTYL – talk to you later

XOXO – Hugs and kisses

LOL – Laughs out Laugh

We have got to thanks the Daily Mail for this entertaining list.

These phrases have actually infiltrated the political establishment. It was only this year, that through the Leveson enquiry, we discovered Rebekah Brooks and David Cameron were on ‘texting’ terms. In one text, she wrote ‘Brilliant speech. I cried twice. Will love ‘working together’. In another the Prime Minister wrote: ‘The horse Charlie Brooks put me on. Fast unpredictable and hard to control but fun DC.’ He also signed off his messages LOL – thinking it meant ‘lots of love’ instead of  ‘laughs out loud’.

Ha, Lolz.

The collusion between politicians and journalists is one thing. SMS has also brought down governments & ideologies. In January 2011 with phone lines and emails being monitored, text messages were the ideal way for activists across the Middle East to organize events and rally support during the Arab Spring. Text communication became so powerful that SMS was blocked in Egypt on January 27^th 2011.

Harnessing the power of SMS has been a focus for LottoByText throughout our stewardship of being the leading mobile lottery syndicate operator in the UK.

Through SMS we are able to offer lottery results and lines, direct to your mobile, at the touch of a button.

If you want to find out more about starting a lottery syndicate on your mobile phone, check out our lottery syndicates guide here. We’ll even give you 5 free lines so you can try out the service.

It’s an estimated £69 M jackpot and your syndicate has every chance of winning it. In fact, playing in one of our syndicates increases your chances of sharing the EuroMillions jackpot.
