This is Friday's Euro's balls up Snoots, not the "Voice of the Balls" Saturday's balls up.

Hell they have draws every night of the week these days for one thing or another and none of them are on the tellybox taking up valuable BBC licence fee space.

The original Saturday night National Lottery (that one that it was all launched on thingy) is now so low in the pay out terms, hardly anyone buys their tickets anymore. Hence it's an ever decreasing spiral that is rapidly disappearing up it's own arse. Might explain why the Canuck firm that has run it (into their own mostly Ontario Teachers Pension Fund pockets) has lost the franchise. It will be interesting to see how the next bunch of furriners go about extracting extra "taxes" from the poor disguised as life changing opportunities .....

You might want to look up the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund, you might be surprised what they own over here, like a significant chunk of the M6 Toll as well as our Lottery, there's a host of other successful shit too. If only we could join that Pension Fund. No I wasn't a teacher over there.
