It's not a major thing, but it seems obvious to me that a news article trumpeting pretty significant prizes should also contain a clickable link on how to take part.

The two most recent posts (about £5k and £5.5k respectively) don't do this, at the precise moment when punters will be reading and wondering how they can get a slice of the action.

I think we're seeing a bit of a systemic issue here.

With 3 choices from 36 numbers, each ticket has a 1 in 7140 chance of winning. When multiple people play, the chances of there being a winner each month obviously comes down, so it's all about the volume of players.

If 10,000 (!) tickets were sold each month, by month 3 there'd be an almost 99% chance of having a winner. Something more realistic for us, 800 tickets per month, means that after an entire year there's still only a 74% chance of anyone having won the jackpot at all.

Or to sum up, with a smaller fanbase such as ours, this scheme is destined to have many, many rollovers. Nice for the person who eventually wins it, but it does give the monthly announcements a bit of a groundhog day feel.

I see it as a donation to the club really. It would be nice once but I won't hold my breath waiting on that win.

A few prizes monthly to keep the interest.

Agree, to me its like buying a sweepstakefor the Derby or Grand National but not expectingto win (nice though it would be!). Maybe more 'priceless' prizes like invitation to training sessions, travel with the team, match tickets (transferable if the winner is a ST holder)...
