Subscription Pros and Cons

 

Playing lottery games by subscription has both advantages and disadvantages, depending on your point of view. In this article we outline the main subscription pros and cons so that you can decide whether playing by subscription is something you could benefit from.

The Pros

• When you play by subscription, you don’t have to worry about forgetting to buy a ticket for a particular lottery draw, because you pay in advance for a series of draws and your numbers will therefore be entered automatically.

• You don’t have to remember to check your lottery numbers. All subscription entries are checked and if you have won a prize you will be notified.

• You can’t lose your ticket. Playing the lottery by subscription associates your name with a particular entry, and because you don’t get an actual ticket, you can’t lose it.

• Playing by subscription is convenient – you can do it all from the comfort of your own personal computer. Very handy if the weather is bad or you don’t want to queue in a shop for a ticket.

The Cons

• When you play the lottery by subscription you have to enter the exact same set of numbers for every draw you play. This means you can’t suddenly change your entry if you happen to have a dream or gut feeling about another set of numbers.

• You will need to pay for all of your lottery entries in advance. If you wanted to play two lines of numbers twice a week for 12 weeks, you would need to pay £48 up front. This might make a bigger hole in your short term budget than you would like.

• You don’t get a paper lottery ticket. Some people like to have a paper ticket to hold onto, keep safe and generally handle before the draw takes place because it adds to the sense of excitement they experience. If you are one of these people, a lottery subscription might not give you this tactile interaction with the game.

Conclusion
As you can see, there are more advantages than disadvantages when it comes to playing the lottery by subscription, but whether or not you should play this way is something you must decide for yourself. If you value convenience and peace of mind more than the ability to handle your ticket personally, subscribing is probably a good option. However, if buying your tickets in person makes the game more exciting for you, feel free to continue playing the traditional way.
