I think you were right the first time - unless I'm misunderstanding, which I do a lot. NS&I website says the odds are 24,000 to 1. It was 24,500 before last June and 34,500 before that - no wonder I never won anything! I rather wish they'd shorten the odds instead of giving out more of the bigger prizes if rates go up again [fingers crossed] as winning nothing is horrible, as I was reminded yesterday.eskbanker said:Edit: 24,500 correction, not 24,000!

Yes, you're right, I was right the first time! I did notice a bit later on but decided not to rewrite the post, especially when it had already triggered some animated responses, since deleted....justwantedtosay said:
