Greetings! I'm subbing 'How To Improve Your Chances Of Winning The Lottery', which you can find here: A2390032
Great entry - it's sure to generate discussion! I made a few tweaks, mostly to punctuation, and added some links to other Guide entries. Please have a look and let me know if you'd like to add or change anything before I send it on to the Editors.

Hi Quizzical
Just one thing, reading it through again, I realise I have started the first two sentences under the heading drawback with "Of course" It might read better if the second one was changed from;
Of course you have to be pretty unlucky not to pick up a few minor prizes.
to;
You'd have to be pretty unlucky not to pick up a few minor prizes.
But I'll go with what ever you think. Every thing else seem fine to me.

I fixed the problem with the two sentences beginning with 'of course'. I'll send your entry on to our Editors so it can find fame and fortune (well, maybe not fortune) on the Front Page!
Congrats!

Thanks, looks good to me. Yes, shame about the fortune, still you can't have everthing.
