That&#39;s the attraction of Britain&#39;s lottery for its millions of players and this week it reached its 25th birthday. 
For self-proclaimed Lottery mug, Simon Lambert, that&#39;s two-and-a-half decades of spending money on the draw week-in, week-out because foolishly he has six numbers committed to memory.
For some luck...
