You already live in a mansion, if the neighbours noticed they would just think you did well shorting Thomas Cook.
£167m Lottery tonight.
- Thread starter Norwich Red n White

Everyone ? ok
Surely 48.11% would remain

Is anybody playing this from overseas?
I bought a couple of tickets at the weekend and won £3.30 (two numbers). I then seen a message saying that you had to be in the UK. Imagine that? Winning £163 million and not being able to claim the money.
Anyway, i thought i would get my 15 year old daughter to put it on for me using my account... but could foresee a Rodney Trotter type situation.
In the end, i asked my brother, who is in London, to log into my account and buy me 2 tickets. My question, if i won the jackpot, would i encounter any issues in claiming my winnings?

Don't think it has to be won, just the jackpot stops growing. Additional prize money goes to the tier below.
Source: I read it on here the other day, so it must be true.

I would say you would. Assume they will ask for proof of you being domiciled in the UK.
I've never understood why people get all excited and put money on these big rollovers where they wouldn't normally play the lottery. Is 10 or 20 million not good enough for you like?

Could i not just say it was our 'syndacate' account? He is England still.

It’s like the lass in the audience questioning Lawrence Krauss about when the Andromeda Galaxy is going to collide with our Milky Way....
Lass: Did you say 5 billion years or 5 million years that the galaxies will collide?
Krauss: 5 billion
Lass: Phew, thank god for that

I’ve just had an email backing up your story. It stays the same for the next 5 draws unless it’s won, then if it’s not, the lower prizes get bigger.

Other than try to keep it quiet, I’m not too sure what else I’d do. I’d have to give myself some serious time to consider my options. Draw up a list of all the family members, after immediate family, who actually are still speaking to me!
Wouldn’t give up work straightaway, not because I love my job or anything like that, but maybe see how far I could swing the lead a bit, or maybe work out when would be the most inconvenient time to hand in my notice. Like say when all out-of-hours duty roster has been sorted, everybody have sorted out their annual leave breaks, look at a time when leave and out-of-hours cover would inconveniently overlap... and then hand in notice. (Not that I’ve given it much thought or anything

Ah. Didn’t know that (if you’re right & whichever person in here said it). Thought it just all got divided in tiers.

First significant buy would be a holiday i'd imagine to go away and try and sort my head out as to what im going to do.
I'd love the thought of sorting friends and family for life but would have to do it the right way otherwise they could go off the rails
Nice bit of land, build a house so i'd never have to move. Would be class to go and experience all the major sporting events (Masters, Superbowl, World Cups, Ashes) without worrying about costs

I’d sort my family and friends out first before I even thought about what to spend it on.
I also fancy making a proper difference to some random. Like just go and give someone a million quid out the blue. Make their day.

Probably set off travelling with the bairn for a bit, then think about what to do as winning that much would be f***ing scary.

Its reached it maximum amount but can rollover another 4 weeks but will def be won on the 5th week as it will then involve a roll down. So the next winning number if no jackpot would get a bigger cut. Say no one won jack pot of all numbers plus 2 bonus numbers then it will go to all plus 1 bonus then down to all numbers no bonus etc etcWas sure I heard it was the last one tonight... Apologies if not and I hope no one has told their boss to do one already...!
Or maybe it was a premonition and it will be won tonight... Hmmm.
