A PM’s Office spokesman said he will approach the GLO board to discuss the complaints with the protesters but says that an internal oversight committee hadn’t had any official complaints lodged.

I asked the wife and she says there are a lot of fake paper tickets floating around. So this switch to digital should fix a lot of that problem? I feel for the less able ticket sellers that sell original paper tickets as their only income source.

They tried upping the price to 110 here so I told my wife they were trying to rip us off and not to buy them. 400 for 3 tickets with the same numbers was outrageous. This online lottery is the end result of greed so, apart from handicapped sellers, I’ve got no sympathy
