"From Oct, the lottery is changing, again. I don't do it, but incase you do, here the the highlights.....
A new ‘Millionaire Raffle’ which will guarantee at least two millionaires each week – one on a Wednesday and one on a Saturday – in addition to 20 winners of £20,000 in every draw.
Bigger rolling jackpots – from October onwards, average winning jackpots are expected to be triple the level of winning jackpots on the current game.
Better odds of becoming a millionaire – in an average week, the chances of winning at least £1 million on the new game will be better than winning the jackpot on the current Lotto game – with odds at one in just under 10 million*, versus one in just under 14 million on today’s game.
Six balls will now be drawn from a total of 59 – the way the game works will be changing and, from October, players will choose 6 numbers from 59 instead of the 49 today.
Matching two numbers will win a free go. Players matching two numbers will get a Lucky Dip® ticket for a future draw – giving them another chance to be a millionaire.
