The national lottery changed the game to make it, essentially, more difficult to win, which is what it did by adding in an additional two balls, and then it proceeded simply to have jackpots not won for long periods of time. It changed that system by introducing must-win draws, but it did that at the behest of public pressure coming from this House and elsewhere. It was not from any intervention by the regulator's office.
