    I suspect our local gambling laws, there are a lot of smaller lotteries that have been running in England in particular that we can't participate in.

    I just looked on the website and theres no mention of it not being available here. Indeed I put in my post code and a whole list of outlets showed

    Also theres nothing to stop you buying online as the rules only say you need a GB bank account and address

    I saw it on the news the other morning and it seems to be organised by the owner of the daily express and the daily star but theres a bit of controversy as the amount going to "good causes"will be 20pence per pound compared to 28pence with the national lottery.both newspapers were praising its launch and its organiser which was no big surprise as "the organiser" owns both papers.
