Lucky dip here too.

Blimey between the 3 of us, we have cost them £6 in lost revenue, I hope they can survive the "hit"

Straws and camels' backs and all that.

Many years ago my Dad said the best way to look at the odds of winning the jackpot were roughly/something like;
Put £10k per week on for the next 80yrs & you should be ok.

Now that would be a daft thing to do.

Isn't "winning" a free entry just failing to lose this time round?

Nope it a double your chance of winning with a free draw

Absolutely, unless you hit that big one, and then its "I beat the odds"

I'm not criticising here, but if you were to walk into a bookies and see a horse in a race with odds of 43000000 :1 would you put a £1 on it?

False analogy, as bookies odds aren't a measurement of likelihood of winning.
