    Your buying 100 lines with that £200 outlay, bearing in mind the odds of winning the jackpot is 70 million to 1, i would say don't waste your money, do like i do and just buy my usual 2 tickets and get a nice take away with the rest, your just feeding the camelot boardroom bonus by buying loads, thats why they want huge jackpots, to encourage people to gamble extra, and thats why they made it 70million to 1 so that they get loads of roll overs.

    Takeaways for the win.

    Makes me laugh that people are more excited and likely to play if the jackpot is 120 million....than they are when it's only 90 million.

    Just like the footballers who leave the club that they have played for and supported all their life for an extra £20,000 a week when they are on enough already.

    Put the £20 back in your pocket and if your relatives do somehow win the the big one,they're bound to buy a house and a car for you.It's a win win situation.

    If you buy one ticket the odds of you winning are 70,000,000 to 1. 

    If you buy 20 tickets the odds of you winning are 70,000,000 to 1.

    This is not quite right, yes the odds for each individual ticket in the block of 20 would be 70m to 1 but not the overall odds, these would change as in if you bought 35 million diferent tickets you would have a 50% chance of winning, by my reckoning she would have a 3.5 million to 1 chance of winning the jackpot?
