The euromillions prize fund allocation is a bit shit isn't it?

Last night one person won £209MILLION matching 7 numbers.
The next set of winners with 6 numbers won £246k. That is ridiculous!
It actually puts me off playing.

Imagine having 6 numbers you'd definitely think you'd won at least a million
What a let down 😄

It is ridiculous- that jackpot is far too large (unless I win of course Smile). Wish they ran a system which gave more people a chance of winning....

Absolutely!

Over 400 people could have £500K each instead of that one jackpot winner getting 200mil.

Surely spreading it among more people would be better for the economy too.

Yes exactly!

So is "the jackpot" the pull to get people to play without them realising if they win it's not very much?!

It is ridiculous having such a large jackpot go to one player.

I feel there needs to be a cap and beyond that it must be distributed to more people. However, i suspect it's the enormous jackpots which pull in more money. I only have a punt if it's a huge win. I'd panic at that amount though!

It's ridiculous- despicable-a disgrace etc etc that it wasn't won by me

There’s also a million won in UK twice a week by raffle numbers on tickets. Often unclaimed if you have a paper ticket as people only check numbers!
