    Wow there are some scary stats in this article about the EuroLottery on the BBC webite:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magaz…

    • Odds of winning are 76 million to 1
    • It hasn't been won for 11 consecutive weeks
    • Ticket sales in UK up by 1200%
    • If the money was won and put into a bank account, it would generate £15,400 a day in interest alone.

    What I find funny is the odds are always the same. And yet the bigger the jackpot the more people enter. How greedy does this make people? They think "£12 million that's not really worth my £1.50, it wouldn't change my life. Oh but £125 million that's a different matter!"

    Weird.
