Everybody and I mean everybody at some point in their lives will say I wish I would win the lottery, well ok maybe not obscenely rich people but us normal people will anyway. When I was sixteen and officially allowed to buy a lottery ticket I bought one and only one which I won ten pounds with and then never tried again. So fast forward to January this year and I decided that I should start playing if I was ever going to have a chance to win. At ... ...I decided to see if you could play the lottery online.

Advantages: Easy and convenient Disadvantages: If you're silly you could spend too much
I have played the lottery ever since it started - not with much luck I hasten to add - and until recently always bought my ticket at the local shop.
A short while ago I signed up to Cashinco and found that I could earn extra points for using the lottery site - 250 for registering and another 2,000 when I purchased my first ticket.
The site in question is www.national-lottery.co.uk and it covers all the lottery games including scratch cards.

Advantages: Easy to sign up, professional looking Disadvantages: Dont really win much, Have to win over £5 to claim winnings back
I was checking my email as you do, when i came across and advert for the new instant win games on the national lottery website. Now usually iam falling over myself to hit the delete key, but having never really gambled online before i thought id give it a try.
The website is very well layed out, looks good and is very professional which is what you would expect from a major company.
You have the option to try the games for free without winning ... ...play as it were, and i quite enjoyed playing for free, plus if id have paid to play, i would have won a few quid, although i suspect the free games are engineered to make it seem like winning is more easy!
There are about 8 games on there at the moment, all of them with a fairground type theme such as picking up ducks from the paddling pool, shooting ducks, etc (not all involve ducks!). You dont play the games as such, they are more something you ...

I have never been a big player of the online National Lottery, come to think of it I have never been a big player of the National Lottery full-stop, until recently. I am a member of quite a few what are called, Cash-Back sites as some of you may have heard of. While recently visiting one of my regular sites I saw that I would get cash-back for signing up and playing the National Lottery online. Quite a few of my family members are regular players ... ...sake of a quid or two a week I should get involved. So I did … and won £10 for matching 3 numbers! Yey for me!
The Website:
Anyone can access the site by simply clicking on www.national-lottery.co.uk, although players must be 16 and over. The website is very well set out, in my opinion, and easy to navigate around. It uses the traditional Lottery colours of Red, White and Blue and has the logo in the left hand corner. At the top, there are 7 different ...

Advantages: another way to play the lottery Disadvantages: it is gambling
It was always a Saturday night at around 8.30pm or later when myself and my partner have a discussion about what we would love to do and if only we won the lottery.
Hang on though we actually have to remember to play the lottery to be in with a chance of winning it. Unless of course there is something I haven't caught onto.
Fast track a few months, and now we are the proud owners of an account with the National Lottery .co.uk. We decided to create ... ...for a couple of reasons. The first main one was because the site was affiliated to a cash back site and we gained a little bit back for signing up. The second was because we could load in a pre set amount and set our account to buy one ticket per week, only having to remember to go back in a few weeks if we wanted to buy more.

When you log onto the home page, you will be blasted with a variety of flashing images, all tempting ...

I’ve just left what the members would call an intellectual forum where the overwhelming topic “why did Camelot get the Lottery” fell very much on Sir Richard’s side. Let me throw it open to comments from Ciao members.

At the start they tendered for the British lottery, which at that time was like leaping into a dark hole and hoping the bottom wasn’t too far down. To cover ... ...lifted. Out of this they had to supply thousands of lottery terminals, which don’t come cheap either by renting or buying. They had to set up all the vendors and link them all by telephone to headquarters. They had to have equipment to correlate the results and verify winners and they had to set up district offices for big winners to claim their prize.
2 They, with the help of the public, made the UK lottery the most successful in the world

Advantages: Great site, easy to use, email sent if you win! Disadvantages: None really, just that you might waste all your money!
I joined up to www.national-lottery.co.uk partly because Topcashback were offering something like £5.00 (one-time only) for signing up to the website for free and depositing £5.00 so I figured it was worth a go even if I just joined up and brought 5 lotto tickets. I registered my account and added my debit card details which were then saved on the website.

Having played the National Lottery since I was 16 (am now 27!) and having played online now for 3 years, i thought it was about time I expressed me views on this easy way of gambling.

If anyone is thinking of running a lottery syndicate then I would advise them to check out the pro’s/con’s on the National Lottery website: http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/home/home.do
It gives you valuable information and it now includes an Account Manager which I will describe in detail later on.

Every time I left my place of work I would say to myself “don’t ever start up another syndicate in your next place, it’s too much like hard work” but, being a glutton for punishment, I always did start up another one. Sometimes though, trying to get the contributions in is a nightmare (although I must admit my present ...

The National Lottery
I’d be very surprised if anybody reading this didn’t know how the UK National Lottery works. The premise is simple – select six numbers from one to 49, or let the terminal randomly select them for you, and then wait in anticipation of all your balls dropping (so to speak).
The Lottery is dangerously addictive. Those of you who have entered the same six numbers since day one may have encountered a similar scenario ... ...show starts on BBC1 and suddenly you realise with dread that you haven’t put your line of numbers on. You are probably the only person in the country who is glued to the television set, willing your six numbers not to appear. What’s worse, with the advent of the midweek draw, Lottery Extra and Thunderball, the potential for your favourite numbers to appear is increasing – as is the amount you need to spend each week to secure peace ...

I Hate The Lottery!! ------------------------ I have to let it be known I hate the National Lottery with a vengence. Firstly I hate the way the actual show is done and think it spoils a Saturday night..I know you are saying go out and get a life and you wouldn't have to watch it. I pay a TV licence and I am the sort of person that likes to get his moneys worth. Anyway I hate the lottery for other reasons, like the shop where I live that I used to ... ...you mean is there a redhead working in it. Of course there is, do you think I visit a shop for their range of products, get real! What worries me about the Lottery is the vast amount of money spent on it my the average person.

I see loads of people that spend £5-£10 on the lottery plus another ...

www.national.lottery.co.uk
Very easy to register ... provided that you are aged 16 or over and a UK or Isle of Man resident, which are conditions of registration
The following details must be provided in order to register with the website;

* Address Details - You provide ... ...look-up to prevent you from typing it all in. You are then asked to verify it.
* Terms & Conditions - Quite a lengthy document, which details the rules and regulations governing the games and how to play.
* Sign in Details - You are asked to provide a username and password. Always tricky if you are using multiple websites, but I always find it's best to stick to the same username and alternate your passwords.

WARNING this is the most addictive website you could possibly join! I stumbled across this site whilst browsing the internet one evening and have looked at other gambling websites before but have never trusted them but I thought seeing as it’s the national lottery then I’m sure ill be safe.

The prizes range from 25p to £10,000. On each game its stated what the odds are and how much you can win.
Registration is easy maybe too easy, you enter your details and a debit card (credit cards aren’t accepted because they aren’t able to transfer money back to them) which you debit your funds from. The minimum you can ...
