The UK National Lottery sucks!!!! They wonder why less and less people are buying tickets. It's because the prizes are poop.
This is how last nights draw broke down....
Match 6 3 £2,223,990 £6,671,970
Match 5+bonus 35 £18,313 £640,955
Match 5 789 £507 £400,023
Match 4 35,469 £24 £851,256
Match 3 523,808 £10 £5,238,080

Seriously, you match 5 numbers in a 6 number lottery and you're going home with £500 pounds? Most people make that in a week, and they've probably spent more than that on tickets and scratch cards in the last year.
Decrease Camelots (or whoever runs the lottery now) profit, Increase the prize fund, and spread the money around more.
