And a lot of those probably switch over when Pop Idol finishes at roughly 7.45pm. (varies each week, annoyingly)

I don't see the point of tying the lottery to a gameshow when the majority of viewers there at the end have only tuned it to see the draw. I know of very few people who specifically watch the whole lottery gameshow.


I think it's something to do with the fact that the show has got to be of a certain length for it to get a viewing rating or something.

The Winning Lines lottery game show was sold to an American network (I forget which one), and also spawned a board game and quiz book, so it must be fairly successful in its own right, I would've thought.

Anyway, apart from Ceefax and online, do the BBC make any mention of the Daily Play game - numbers/winners etc.


Yes, at 9am on BBC ONE.


Is that optional or are the BBC obliged to do it?

That's a good question. I'd imagine it's part of the deal with Camelot.

Damn I'm annoyed!

I just checked my numbers, having won a second Lucky Dip ticket in a row (played £1 on Friday - no numbers, won a lucky dip for Saturday, no numbers - got a ticket for tonight 3 numbers and just 1 number away from winning £5!

I really needed some money to pay into the bank! Ah well...
