    I think two seconds of my life is an under-estimate, the aim of the site is to tempt you to do more than just the simple check.
    However 2 seconds a day for 365 days a year for 2500 years (on average before a win) = 500 hours. At statutory minimum wage that's about £3500 (but you may not live that long!).
    Or look at it another way: If one person in each postcode was checking every day that's an aggregate of 1000 hours a day, over £7000 at statutory minimum wage for a possible reward of £300.

    But don't let me stop you !!!!ing your life away on a pointless exercise. The only winner here is the guy who set up the lottery, hence it's worth looking at the concept to see if there's a way to be smarter than the average mug punter.

    The aim can be whatever they like, doesn't mean you have to follow it. All I ever do is look at the postcode and that's it. Plus not every postcode in the UK is entered, so the odds aren't as bad as you make them out to be (they are still very long odds, just not that long).

    Personally I check it on my lunchbreak in work, so not time I'd be spending doing too much productive with generally.
