This lottery involves placing ten familiar FTSE-100 stocks in order of expected performance each day. Get 3 of them right (odds about 16 to 1) and you win back your 1 ticket stake. Progressively bigger prizes for getting 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 right. Get all ten in the right order and the daily prize is 100,000
There is also a weekly million pound prize that can be played for.

Has anyone here tried it? It's a neat looking site.
