Camelot sales director Duncan Malyon spoke of the 'potential' for retailers that the new-look game will bring.
(but Mr.Malyon conveniently failed to mention that (in these hard times of recession) yet more people than will be spending even more* money that they simply *cannot* afford. He also failed to mention that the 'potential' has arisen for greedy Camelot Directors to 'print' yet even *more money!)

"It's winning news for all of our retailers," he said. "Thunderball has mass appeal and a loyal player base, so more chances for players to win means bigger sales for them.
(but conveniently failed to mention that the 'winning news' is winning news for the Camelot Directors - nobody else!)
"To make the most of this golden opportunity, all our retail partners need to do to boost their sales - and their own commission - is to take full advantage of all en of the free point-of-sale material we are providing, and talk to their customers about the amazing chance to win half a million pounds three times a week."
(but conveniently failed to mention that the 'golden opportunity' belongs to Camelot - nobody else!)
Introducing yet more money-grabbing lottery draws is nothing more than pure greed, is an abomination and should be stopped by the new incoming UK Government.
If (as predicted) the UK election results in a 'hung' Parliament' then perhaps their first job of the new 'hung' Parliament would be to 'hang' a greedy Camelot Director (or two) by the bollocks, from the highest point in members gallery of the UK House of Commons.

I like the idea of a £3 return for matching the 1-in-14 Thunderball - that might be Antichristable.
And I'm sure people like tax exile millionairess Paula Radcliffe will appreciate the extra 'good causes' money.
