    I've had the same texts as well, pretty sure it was from a survey or comp entry i'd done (would you like to be contacted again in the future for a follow up/from survey type of thing) but cant pin point which one.

    Don't think I've been charged at any point and have had 4-5 as well. I just ignore it and delete it

    Keep getting texts from 87770 (Lottobytext) - Hope not getting billed as not signed up or responded.

    Rang National Lottery (Lotto) for advice and they said to go to phonepayplus. (i've complained there - don't know if will do any good?)

    Anybody else getting loads of texts??
  • Anyone still on on here?

    I also strumbled into these guys yesterday and am tempted to have a go. It seems prety straight forward.

    I got this text

    'FreeMsg:5 FREE National Lottery lines by LottoByText After 1st Free Draw (24hrs), 15 Lines & Results £4.5pw Info 08700008697 End Subscription txt STOP to 87770'

    By the looks of this after the first draw I'll get charged £4.50. Aint 2 bad if I get 15 lines. As long as I cancel it straight after I shouldnt av a problem.'

    Just be careful. As long as you remember to cancel you'll be fine. Of course you can stay involved and pay the 4.50 a week. It's a good deal for 15 lines.

    I just wait for the big rollovers and then sign up for that one draw. I've won a few times…nothing huge but enough to merit having a stab again.

    How did you get on?

    Thanks Shah79.

    I didn't win with the free lines. Haha suprise.

    But I didn't stop the subscription just to give it anuther try. and it won. Got about 13 quid...can't complain.

    Anyway, im going to stay subscribed and if I don't win for a while ill stop.

    it's cheaper than buying a ticket just for myself so may as well.

    cheers :D
