Since the Lottery sneakily upped the star numbers from 9 to 11 (increasing the odds of winning by a couple of million to one) it's noticeable that the jackpots are rolling over mose often.
On Friday, the 2nd top prize was £159,000 whilst first prize was £142million. I'm guessing that they like having massive jackpots as it fuels peoples natural greed (and i guess they get any interest of the prize while its sat there longer not being claimed?).
Tonights jackpot is an estimated £154 million. Surely that's just getting way too big to justify to any one person (and it seems less likely with the newer odds that jackpots will be shared) and would be too big a change to cope with? Wouldn't it be better if they just created lots more prize winners in the £100k - £10m range?
I know we'd all think we'd love to win it but there's a part of me that thinks it'll ruin the life of whoever does win. I'd immediately worry for the safety of myself and family and what it would do to my friends.
What's the obviously correct answer from the STW massive.....?
