Advantages are that you could win lots of money,you also get your "stake" back,though its value will be eroded by inflation. Disadavantages,your capital gets eroded my inflation,you might not win a bean!!
The advantage is that the winnings are tax free, which means that top rate tax payers benefit more.
The disadvantage is that the interest returned is randomly variable: anywhere from 0% to some large number that I can't be bothered to work out).
