Much consternation amongst the tabloids this morning as someone from the Lottery has let it

slip that the odds are against you actually winning any money. Well, what a surprise. It’s not called the Stupidity Tax for nothing you know.

Ten years ago, the National Lottery wasn’t new, but it was still interesting enough for the tabloids to run stories about it. These days it doesn’t get a mention except for the rare occasions when someone wins a rollover.
