Luckiest number - or unlucky for some?

Why on earth would Camelot favour people from the highlands to win the lottery. How do you know that someone from the East End hasnt already won a substantial amount of money already, its been going for 10+ years and you can remain annonymous if you win you know.

The lottery isnt fixed, its a random game with no skill what so ever. There is no way of playing certain numbers or patterns to try and win!

ITS RANDOM, GET WITH IT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So are you saying everyone that wins in London ALWAYS remains anonymous? Why would they do that and why only Londoners?

Check their website and count how many winners that live in London compared with Cardiff, or Manchester. If this is a genuinely random game then there should be more winners coming from London or other major cities as there are substantially more players, especially from the poorer areas.

If this is a genuinely random game then how do you explain some winners hitting the jackpot at least twice. What are the odds of hitting the jackpot once (you would think they would quit) then playing a DIFFERENT set of numbers at a DIFFERENT time in the same location and hitting the jackpot again? The odds must be astronomical but no its happened on several occassions and guess what - none of those winners live in major UK city.

I don't believe a company would put it's trust in 7 out of 49 plastic balls falling out of a mechanical device - if that's easy then why aren't there more lotteries? If the magician David Copperfield can give the impression he can fly over the Grand Canyon by sheer will power how hard is it to make the least common set of seven balls to fall out of machine on national TV?

And another thing you should remember:
Lotto rapist if BAD publicity;
Lotto granny is GOOD publicity.

Did they? I have no idea. All I know is it had and still has created a lot of negative publicity. And when he bought his ticket he was on short term leave from prison.
