'Gamble' not 'play'
Please do not use the Camelot marketing department's word 'play' - which implies that the lottery is a bit of fun, not serious. For many, reasonably well off, el-reg readers that might be true, but I have seen people at my local newsagent gambling money that it was plain that they could not afford -- it is harmful.
People are taken in by the con that they will get rich - the adverts try to convince people that they will be more lucky than their neighbour - clearly that cannot be true.
Would you make an investment that returned 25% of your original stake ? That is what you are likely to get when gambling on the lottery.
This DDOS has saved many people money that they could not afford to loose.
