It's a brilliant offer - but it's embarising sometimes asking people if they are 55 or not!?!

That's just like asking people for proof of age when buying alcohol at supermarkets, if the staff members remember to ask.

I would understand if it was drink, but at lottery ticket! I showed them a photocopy of my passport and they didnt accept! I then showed my 16-25 railcard and didnt accept! So in the end my mum brought it and gave me the ticket, pointless really!
