Quite smart as with inflation it makes it cheaper for them to pay you as time goes on. Sorry to mess with everyone's fantasies.
If they dicked me about like that I'd ask for my £2.50 back

It’s paid in full :thumbup:
As soon as the winning ticket is verified and the ID of the winner confirmed, the Lottery can pay the winner their money on that very day. However, once the money is paid into an elected bank account, it takes two days for the money to process before it can be withdrawn. This means that the longest you have to wait before getting the money is around three days between discovering you’ve won the lottery and actually being able to spend the cash.

Family members would expect to be gifted a share of the windfall. Slight one or more of them would also result in bitterness. Hand perhaps a sprog or two too much and it could easily go to their heads and they'd become directionless wasters consumed with a hedonistic lifestyle.
Then there's a real prospect of paranoia setting in surrounding personal safety. That too big property would require high walls and being plastered with CCTV cameras for fear of tie-up burglars paying a visit who'd assume there's a safe hidden somewhere filled with valuable goodies.
Thanks Morgan, totally depressed now after reading that.
Ripped up my next weeks ticket and I'm going to hide in my shed on the allotment. :hehe:
