Your post prompted me to look at the Irish Lottery and from what I can see it is even dearer, 4 draws x 2 games = £23 (£2.87 per game), or have I misunderstood something?

BTW if you looked it up online you probably saw the address in Ireland for playing, I believe that they are brokers and will charge a fee for playing for you. U.K Bookies seem to offer the best ODDS when playing with them.

I have spent £2 per week since it started, same numbers each time and never won more than £10. When they apply the increase that's me finished with the UK lottery, I will use my connections in the USA to invest $2 in the Texas lotto.

We have been "investing" £1 Wednesday and £1 Saturday Lotto (set numbers) plus £2 Friday Euromillions Lucky Dip.

I'll be suggesting dumping our numbers which we have held since the start (and never won more than £10) and doing 1 x Lotto LD and 1 x Euro LD. Whether that's acceptable with the SO is yet to be discussed.

It will be interesting to see the sales stats - I'm guessing there will be an immediate big drop in the number of Lotto tickets sold as people protest, then it will gradually pick up again and sales will settle to around 85% of what they are now.

I think the value of sales will increase immediately, but only slightly, obviously commensurate with my prediction above, so whoever benefits will win win win. Hopefully not the Opera again. That cost us dear.
