More people will play (us included) and will put more money into the pot.
There will be money from unclaimed tickets that have gathered interest in their banks.
Who gives a toss as long as I/we win!  |

"It's a unique code not the actual numbers!"
But with the combination of letters and numbers leading to 10 figure odds... How can they ensure / rig a hundred winners...?? |

I'm pretty sure they can't. Any unclaimed money goes towards the good causes supported by Camelot, iirc. It's just a marketing ploy, innit. |

"Every person that enters gets a unique code, those codes go into a draw, 100 winners are picked at random. "
Doh...!! Fankoo...
Three hours of algebraic calculations later...  |

Anything that is computer generated can be randomised to 'be told' what numbers to pick.  |

How does the announcer know so soon after a ball comes up how often it has come up and when it last came up? can you remember the sequence of last saturdays numbers and when they were last up? |

"How is Lotto going to rig it so that 100 people get a million pound ticket...? "
With all the obscene profits Camelot has made in the 10 years or so since the Lottery began. They've got billions of pounds sitting around and can easily afford to give away £100m. |

"The 100 winners are UK only as well. If I was French, Spanish etc I would be fuming."
Why? The Millionaires part of the Eurolotto is only for UK tickets and comes out of Camelots 'cut' on Euro ticket sales. |

That made I laff... getting caught up in the maths rather than the solution."
Perils of target fixation in the workplace... You end up troubleshooting more than problem solving...
Right... Off to get me tickets...  |

"The last ticket I bought was in Stevenage , I didn't even bother checking it  "
LOL you didn't happen to buy it on 8th June 2012 by any chance, I like this type of humour which needs a little bit of thinking to understand the punchline... |
