Frustrated UK lottery players are now up in arms over the recent price hike of Europe’s largest lottery draw.
UK lottery players made their grievances known in different social media channels as UK National Lottery Operator Camelot announced that the price of EuroMillions draw will go up by 50 percent to 2.50 ($3.30), according to The Evening Standard.
Players protested the new system changes that the UK National Lottery operator Camelot introduced, which they claimed to have made it more difficult for them to win the pot money. Under the new system, bettors will now be required to choose “lucky star” numbers out of 12 rather than 11.
It means that players will need to pick the correct 2 numbers from an expanded pool, lessening their chances of winning the jackpot from 1 in 117 million currently to 1 in 140 million.
