Your say: LOTTO NOT SO LUCKY

CAMELOT have only themselves to blame that more and more people are turning their backs on the lottery.

When it started there was a once-a-week draw with a regular jackpot of around pounds 12m. Now we have a midweek draw, Thunderball, Hot Picks, Lotto Extra, etc. They are even planning to extend the game to the Internet.

Camelot should get back to basics - one big draw on Saturdays and more accountability on where the cash goes.

I for one think more money should be spent on kidney machines and youth clubs rather than on Old Masters that are gathering dust on some duke's country estate.

If not, even more people will give up on the idea of a regular flutter on the lottery.
