For some people, playing the lottery is a way of life. For others, it's a little treat now and again, or something you put a couple of quid on when you're feeling particularly lucky.
But whatever your reason for playing, your chances of winning remain the same as everybody else.
However, Camelot has now announced that new rules are coming into place - and they'll make winning some cash easier than before.
From November 7, players will be able to nab themselves £5 for matching just two numbers, reports the Mirror.
The new rules will only apply to certain games though. "Must Be Won" games will happen after the jackpot has rolled over five times and not been won, and it's these games which the new rules will apply to.
It means jackpot cash is passed to people winning lower tier prizes if no one matches all six numbers.
In the past, this cash was rolled out to people matching three numbers - seeing 128,703 lucky ticket-holders scoop £96 instead of £30 the last time it happened in July - but now it means millions will benefit.
Commercial director Neil Brocklehurst said: "We know an unexpected extra fiver — which could be spent on chocolates, a book, or coffee for a friend — can really put a smile on someone’s face."
Around a million players match two numbers in a typical draw, picking up a free lucky dip - but no cash.
Other changes coming from Camelot include three “Big September” draws - starting with a £20m Must Be Won on Saturday 5th.
There's also a mega EuroMillions draw guaranteeing 20 UK millionaires on Friday, September 18.
A boosted EuroMillions jackpot of over £100m will then be up for grabs the following Friday.
