£80 million EuroMillions Superdraw on Friday 22nd March

Stop what you're doing! It’s an £80 million EuroMillions Superdraw on Friday 22^nd March!

That’s only a week away.

Yes, that’s right! In light of a looming triple-dip recession & the freak snow storms that have occurred recently in the UK, the National Lottery have issued a timely £80M Superdraw to raise all our spirits and get all us Lottery players excited. 

What this means:

It will be a guaranteed £80m jackpot! Whether there is or isn’t a rollover, it won’t matter. The National Lottery is guaranteeing the jackpot to be no less than £80 million on the 22nd of March. Therefore, if the jackpot rolls over on Friday as well, we could see a jackpot topping £100 million. Fingers crossed!

Theoretically, we could see one ticket taking home the whole jackpot on Friday evening. This could put the winner near the top of the leaderboard of EuroMillions winners that includes jackpot winners such as Colin and Chris Wier, who took home £161 million last summer.

Interestingly, this is a marked change for the National Lottery.

This Superdraw is different!

On occasions the National Lottery decides to 'go big'. It's great publicity for the National Lottery and is a chance for all us lottery players to be in with a chance of taking home a mega jackpot. This Superdraw is slightly different to the most recent National Lottery Superdraws because it is creating one big jackpot rather than tying it to the EuroMillions Raffle.

For example if we take the special Christmas & New Year Superdraws that occurred over the holiday season,w e'll see that this Superdraw is a little different. The National Lottery guaranteed a £50 million lottery pot to be shared amongst 50 EuroMillions Raffle winners; thereby creating a guaranteed 50 millionaires over two draws.

In some ways this gives you, the player, more chances of winning because you have 49 more chances of winning the EuroMillions Raffle. This was on top of the EuroMillions Jackpot which, at Christmas and New Year was £12 million and £30 million respectively.

Is it worth playing?

Yes, it's definitely worth it; £80M is a life-changing amount and you'll only get the chance to win this amazing jackpot if you play now. Plus it worth getting involved right now!

Lotto Double Rollover & EuroMillions 4x Rollover!

We’re all going lottery-crazy this weekend. Not only do we have a Lotto rollover bringing the jackpot to over £6 million, we also have a massive £44 million EuroMillions rollover too! 

 This weekend’s combined total jackpot amount climbs over the £50 million mark and makes this weekend one of the most exciting weekends so far in the 2013 lottery calendar.

Imagine playing in both National Lottery draws this weekend and winning - even if it’s just a share of the jackpot. Playing in a syndicate and boosting your chances of winning could be the difference between a normal run-of-the-mill Easter and an all-inclusive Easter holiday to Barbados.

So, as this weekend’s total jackpot amount up-for-grabs tops £50 million, do you want to be in with a chance of winning?

Let’s go through the costs:

If you want to play both the Lotto and EuroMillions this weekend it’s going to cost you £3. That’s £1 for the Lotto ticket and £2 for the EuroMillions ticket. With this you now only have 1 chance in each draw. That’s ok, but it’s not exactly great.

Imagine having 5 chances in each draw for as little as £1.50.

With LottoByText, the UK’s leading lottery syndicate operator, you can play in a small syndicate and massively increase your chances of winning a cash prize.

Just last month LottoByText had over 40,000 winners!

Not only will you get 5 chances to win the jackpot in tonight’s £44 million EuroMillions jackpot and Saturdays £6.1 million Lotto jackpot – you’ll also get 5 chances to win in Wednesday’s Lotto draw. That’s 15 chances each week to win at a cost of £1.50 per draw or £4.50 each week.

That’s only £1.50 more expensive that playing on your own this weekend (where you get just 2 chances to win).

Oh, and wait!

LottoByText have an exciting offer on at the moment. They are giving away

5 free lines in tonight’s £44 million EuroMillions Jackpot. All you have to do is sign up to the weekly subscription and you’ll get your first 5 lines in tonight’s EuroMillions draw free. If you don’t want to carry on your can always stop and you won’t have to pay a penny.

Play the EuroMillions for FREE on your mobile now.

All in all however, January’s jackpots were around the £3 million mark, making a lot of people in the UK very happy.

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!

Would you like to play as part of a lottery syndicate this year and increase your chances of winning? Join LottoByText, the world’s leading mobile lottery syndicate operator and get 5 free lines in the next EuroMillions/Lotto draw.
