Nigel Birrell, CEO at Lottoland, said: "Reports show that people in the US are joining lengthy queues to get a ticket for the next draw, but those who don't fancy joining the line can take part from the comfort of their own home with Lottoland! Which is just as well considering that our research shows^[10] we are often too polite for our own good when it comes to queuing. 67% of us would let someone with fewer items go ahead of us at a checkout and 42% of us wouldn't say anything if someone pushed in front of us - imagine if that person had the winning ticket?
