Is it worth while playing the lucky dip option for the national lottery? I never use the lucky dip option, why, because I believe this gives the lottery operator another way to help reduce the number of winners for the draw. The numbers you are allocated are normally drawn from the numbers that the punters before you have picked. Have you ever known more than one winner winning a share of the jackpot using the lucky dip option? I remember some time ago in the national tabloids, when a gentleman asked for 2 lucky dips and, got 2 identical lines of numbers. A Camelot spokesperson at the time said, "the computer will more than likely pick a set of numbers more than once". If that's the case, why isn't there more than one winner winning a share of the jackpot using this option, you decide for yourselves; I know what I think?
