What's the best bang for your buck in winning millions of pounds with minimal effort and expenditure?
In pure mathematical terms, a lottery jackpot which has rolled up to the point where the total prize fund exceeds the total staked on a particular draw is the only possible winning solution. In v1.0 of the UK lottery, this could occur if it rolled over for 3 weeks, because the jackpot would be distributed to lower prize tiers in the event of no jackpot win. In lotteries which keep rolling forever, the maths is a bit more tricky and I haven't calculated it, but AFAIK Euromillions has a 200M Euro jackpot limit, and the surplus prize fund gets distributed to lower tiers after it reaches the limit, so there might be circumstances in which there was an extremely low probability that the prizes actually paid out didn't exceed the stakes.

What are the chances of me winning the Euromillions compared to the UK lottery?
Although I'd like a £120m I'd happily take a tenth of that if it was more likely (although I understand that they're all very unlikely).
