i say a resolute no. having just come back from the local supermarket, i was as usual on lottery days totally disgusted by the breathable raw greed permiating the air around the gaggle of oldies queing in wide eyed desperation around the lottery kiosk. they should(and i include my parents) be banned from such frivolity, and thus cutting the odds to more worthy would be winners. perhaps they should invest their pound in a bar of soap to help clear them from the smell of stale urine, or save it for the heating bills we endlessly hear them moan about. stick to bingo that's what i say, keeps them off the streets. lol

I agree with you in part. Pensioners always complain about the size of the five pence piece (about the same size as the old sixpence in reality!), they say they can't use computers but then, as if by magic, they've suddenly learned how the National Lottery works!
You'd think most of them have a big enough pension to live on and leave the Lottery for us younger folk who probably need the money more than they do!

I am a pensioner who does the Lottery in the vague hope that I can win enough to by a decent house in a fairly decent area, (where I live at the moment it is made a complete pit by rubbish dumpers and football supporters dropping their fast food and smashing their beer bottles etc. which incidently, the police just ignore, and the council take about 2 weeks to clear some of it up)with a large garden for my dog (the nearby park is also a dump ruined by vandals, drug users and alkies, and to be able to leave it to my son who works extremely hard for not enough money to get a mortgage. We dont all smell of urine, and I for one am fairly computer literate, and incidently bingo is an expensive hobby, which I could not afford, but do tell, what makes you a more deserving case to win the lottery than anyone else. Perhaps your parents want to win so they can move away from you.

Why should pensioners not be allowed to play in the lottery and WIN? If they themselves will not be able to consume their winnings, there are always the heirs (plus the IRS) to profit from it.
For the sake of argument, let's suppose that pensioners are barred from playing, do you think they will stop playing? Think of teenagers under a certain age, who are not allowed to buy alcohol. They always manage to find somebody to buy it for them!
And if all loopholes were closed and pensioners cannot play anymore, do you realize what percentage of lottery income would be lost to good causes like education? And what about the size of the prizes? They also depend on how much is "invested" by the players.
Think it over. Maybe pensioners are very worthy and valueable lottery players after all.

No.You try living on a pension. At least these people have the nous to spend it wisely. Perhaps only people over 25 should be allowed to play the National Lottery to stop all the lager louts who would only waste their winnings.
