Why is Camelot no longer increasing the number of raffle prizes in rollover weeks ?

They seem to have stopped.
I knew I wasn't imagining the fact that they did, and it wasn't initially touted as an "introductory offer" - link
But a quick check of the national lottery website, reveals that this is no longer being done, and the raffle prizes stop at 50. Last night, for example, was a triple rollover, yet there were still only 50 raffle prizes, just as there will be for Wednesday's quadrupule rollover - link
I can't pinpoint the exact date they stopped doing this, but it wasn't that long ago, and I can't find any reason, despite a google search.
Does anybody know when and why they stopped ?

But players also receive a new Lotto Raffle number, which will consist of a colour and an eight-digit number. Fifty raffle numbers will be selected and win £20,000 each. An extra 50 raffle prizes are added for each week of rollover.

I know that they do sometimes increase the number of raffle prizes such as at Christmas when it was increased to, I think, 500.
