SO, the faceless bosses at Camelot want Mr and Mrs Citizen to try and win on 59 numbers now and not 49.

I have spoken to many people who said they will leave the lotto altogether.

Over the years I have always wondered who runs the lottery, the people that is.

I would love to see them in the national press and an audit every three months showing the monies used by the names of the people who decide who and where the so-called good causes are.

After all, it is our lottery, our money. Surely, not a lot to ask.

Everyone I spoke to does not want a millionaire mega win, just a set amount to the lucky winner – £6m for instance and rollovers to boost the lower payouts.

I’m sure most of the readers would concur with my suggestion.

If people struggle with 49 numbers who dreamed up 59? Let’s face it, it will benefit Camelot, not the punters!
