Weirdly if you are on the phone with them (Waiting in a queue) and on the webchat, it lets you update the card. No idea why, like its now aware of you. Possibly to stop bots, and to realise its a person, not an automated application (as a guess).

But as I pasted on another chat, what woke me up and made me realise its not worth doing:

To give you a sense of the scale you're up against for the UK Lotto jackpot, you are looking at odds of approximately 1 in 45,057,474.

Since those numbers are too large for the human brain to truly process, here is what those chances look like through a few different lenses.

The 500 Wembley Stadiums

Imagine 500 Wembley Stadiums are all completely sold out and standing side-by-side. Every single seat in every single stadium is filled with a different person. I have chosen one specific person out of that entire mass of humanity. Your "chance" is the equivalent of walking into that sea of millions and pointing to that exact person on your first attempt.

The Long Walk Around the World

If every "possibility" were a single step (roughly 1 meter), you would have to walk the entire circumference of the Earth (40,075 km), keep going for another 5,000 km, and then hope that the very last step you take is the "winning" one.

The Golden Grain of Rice

A standard 1kg bag of long-grain rice contains roughly 50,000 grains. To visualize your odds, you would need to pile up 900 bags of rice in your living room. Somewhere in that massive white mountain, I have painted exactly one grain of rice gold and hidden it. You get one reach into the pile, eyes closed, to find it.

The Specific Second in Time

There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year. Your odds of winning the jackpot are roughly equivalent to me asking you to pick one specific second out of the next 17 months, and you correctly guessing which one I’m thinking of.

The Realistic Comparison

To put this into a slightly more "grounded" (though equally unlikely) perspective, you are statistically more likely to:

• Be struck by lightning in your lifetime (approx. 1 in 15,000).
• Become a multi-millionaire through your own business (statistically higher than 1 in 45 million).
• Be dealt a Royal Flush in a game of poker on the first hand (1 in 649,740).
