Hi, we have indeed started using this and thanks Tony for your support.


For those asking, the company gets 20 percent, eg 20p from every ticket we sell.

It's a venture you need to have patience with because people like doing their ticket, but it you promote it properly - which we aim to do in 2013 - you could do very well out of it, especially if you have many oversea members.

I'd certainly recommend it.

Oh, and if anyone would like to support us we would appreciate it greatly - £1 a ticket and jackpot is now over £5,000

Thanks.
