The National Lottery Reviews 

The new lottery is ridiculous - get message saying won a prize only to find it's £1 - not worth the effort must cost them more to pay it to me and the rest of the prize structure is beyond stupid. The whole idea is to at least win something worthwhile even a fiver or a tenner buys you something. Have played since the very first draw but think I will take my money elsewhere now.

this site or app is a scam or is a fake . yesterday night i won on thunderball 58 pounds but they give me only 32 pounds. i check again all tickets and yes missing money.

The old Camelot lottery jackpot on the first draw if on a Saturday was approx £3.8m. We will have had 2draws up to and including next wed (sat,wed) and the jackpot will still only reach £2.8m. The old jackpot for a sat,wed on Camelot would have been around £5m. This new lotto is a joke. At least I won a pound this weekend 🙄. Get rid of this company and bring back Camelot, the new lottery prizes are a complete rip off.

So now the starting Saturday prize is being capped at £2m (irrespective of how many tickets are bought). This following on from the mean minded moves to reduce the 'minor' prizes. (Please, Allwyn don't tell me about the double draw - it doesn't excite anyone). The fun and fantasy has been drained out by Allwyn - I only hope they lose at the next bidding round.

I think Alwyn is making an awful lot of money on the lottery now. The prize money is dire and the percentage to charitable causes is even lower. Wake up people. Someone is getting very rich for low prize money.

If have emailed (retained) the Allwyn national lottery operators with regards the newly introduced powerball ! Received their standard we're very busy reply and will answer ! But nothing yet ! I asked because the powerball jackpot is paid over 30 years ! Who gets the interest on the balance ? I suspect that Allwyn receive the full amount from the powerball operators and cream off the interest ! Will wait for their answer which I'm not expecting
I also note the lotto jackpot roll over amount onto next play day has more than halved ! I'm guessing their recent changes disguised as an update have strained their purse strings and this has been passed onto the players ?
Allwyn are no longer a trustworthy organisation IMO

Absolute insult to win £1 for matching 2 numbers. What on earth is the point of that? Rather a free lucky dip.

I didn't think it could get much worse but the latest changes are awful. This week's jackpot was a only 2 million for a Saturday. And the silly prize structure is so confusing. Wow I won a pound. The whole point of the lottery is for people like me winning a life changing prize so we hopefully don't have to work again. Seriously thinking of stopping it after playing from day one.

Total rip off, i stopped playing lotto now. 4 numbers and bonus ball £50...what a scam

Absolute rubbish now they have changed it
Should have been left as it was. I shall not be playing again

Years of joining in but zero results. Totally fixed. It's just more money for the elite. People should wake up.

Since they changed the Lottery I haven’t played since complete rip off , should never have changed it .what i like know if two won the jackpot one in each round is there two jackpot’s never been made clear anyway if the pathetic lower prizes continue me many others will not be playing .

On saturdays, the lottery prize used to always start at least on £3.8M. Now it is £2M. Something funny going on. A Saturday + Wednesday rollover is now £2.8m. So where's the jackpot money going because a rollover used to be at least £5M. Rip-off and hopefully they'll lose enough people that they go under. It'll serve them right.

It’s feeling very rigged,after playing for months on end I won a pound,definitely life changing 😂I getting poorer just by playing,as for scratch cards a major con sorry but it’s definitely a scam for those of us playing

I used to play every week now its just not worth it, the 2 draw gimmick is a joke and prize money is a pittance now way to go killing the game for everyone.

As many predicted. This format change is awful. No one I know plays anymore. Someone has badly miscalculated. We used to be inspired to play again by a £30 3-number win.

When there is a poor review, all the responses seem to offer is that there are lots of millionaires. Read the room ! Most people would like a few small decent wins with just the chance of a bigun.

Such a shame. Plus less money for good causes now.

The UK lottery changes are a rip off. Ive just got 1 number on 1st round of lotto and 2 numbers in the 2nd round of lotto and won the princely sum of £1 not even covering the cost of the ticket. Buying scratch cards is also dreadful you might as well put your money down the grid. I imagine the company that runs it is making nice profits though. I am making a change and not playing it anymore even though I know some charities get a share it is just giving out less and less to us the people who give to these charities and we are also lining the pockets of Alwyn shareholders in the process. Just say NO!

The latest changes to the UK lottery have made the whole experience worse. It feels like a corporate change rather than a customer led change. I much prefer the old lottery to this new one. At least if you won a smaller prize it felt like a win, even the free lucky dip line was better. I hope Allwyn change their mind back to the way it was, as far as I can see fewer people are playing this and no one I know likes the new format of games. Feels like an attempt at making more profit than a customer centric decision.

Have played National Lottery online without issue for years.... it has not taken long for this lot to bugger it all up

They may have given 2 chances but 3 from 3 hotpicks used to pay out £800 now it is reduced to £400 pure conn. Will not be playing it again after this change.
