Am I the only one that thinks using negative numbers(even for temperature) in a lottery a bit out of the ordinary? Doesn’t excuse the poor math skills of the consumer mind you, but it is a bit unorthodox, no? I don’t know, just seems like someone at Camelot could have seen this coming.

Sad but true; the education system was going downhill when I left school. We were the first year to do GCSEs.

I guess they need to print a “number line” on the cards for reference purposes .

These kinds of things often make me wonder how us humans manage to keep society running.
