Interesting how few people complain when there are rollovers of the national or Euro Lotteries, but some people get their knickers in  twist over the Jags lottery, which they are thousands of times more likely to win every week, with or without rollovers.

ETA: Not more likely to in in absolute terms, but certainly more likely to win outright.

New to this.   

When is the deadline for playing each month? 

When is the draw made each month?

How are the winners/winning numbers announced?

You can purchase lines (£5 each) up to just before the draw which is at noon on the 16th of the month.

The winners are put on the website and you get an e-mail as well.

Yes it is. I tried to find out the odds of getting 3 correct numbers from 36 and it seems to be around 7500/1. Not sure how many people play but I can’t imagine it’s too many, so the rollovers are quite likely I would think

So if 750 people play it’ll get won (statistically) every 10 months, if only 250 then every 30 months

Do you not have the option to buy 12 months in one go anymore ? Just individual months seems to b the only option now.

Yep. Chances are 1 in 7140 so the fewer people who play, the more likely it'll continue to rollover:

I think the rollover thingy in itself isn't bad. As it grows it should ensure increased interest.

Where I feel improvement is necessary is with the runner up prizes. For instance regardless of what we think of the value for money aspect of hospitality, it's a relatively inexpensive way to dish out prizes. The cost to the Club of an additional table at hospitality will be nowhere near it's perceived value.

It's time to call a halt to this lotto just pick a name out the hat or if everyone agrees give the club the cash 

Bring back the centenary raffle 

Or I feel  a lot of fans will eventually lose interest and withdraw there donations 

Or more sign up in the hope of winning.

I’d like to see the 2nd prizes increase (value or number of) as roll over moves up. 
The odds of winning the big prize are very low for our Fanbase so increase the ability to win something (not a ball)
