£5.50. The “exciting news” was that I’d won £5.50. Exciting? The ticket that won this prize cost me £6.
I suggest that the National Lottery add a little algorithm to their automatic emailer, so that expectations can be suitably reduced before logging in. In my case, I had assumed that it would be the minimum, but was hoping that this meant £7.50, for a massive £1.50 profit. But no.
Dear Matthew,
You nearly got your money back this week. I’d give it a rest for a few weeks before bothering again, because by then you’ll have forgotten that even when you win on this lottery, it costs you money.
Kind Regards,
National Lottery Meagre Wins Team
