I've won the lottery!

[DilemmaDelilah]

I've won the lottery! Well I've received an email to say I've won a prize. However, the National Lottery website is down until the end of the day so I'm going to have to wait to see how much I've won.

On doing a bit of googling it seems that for any wins over £50k they call you, so I'm guessing I haven't won the millions. My guess is £4.32, but it would be very nice indeed it it was £50k. I'm already spending it in my mind.....

For me it's usually £5 on the 'set for life'

j try not to spend it all at once 🤣

but I hope you have better luck than me!

Ive won the postcode lottery several time. The most was £30. What a pity is was not £30K

How exciting! I've won a prize too! However I'm currently abroad, and cannot access the website until I return to the UK in three weeks time.

I'll try and contain myself till then.

Good luck! 🍀 💰

They don’t call you …..they don’t have your number 🤦‍♀️
you call them if it’s over £50k and they initiate a secure in person claim process.

I got a lovely bottle of champagne, some memorabilia and to meet various private banking manager, investment managers and wealth planners/solicitors. Once all the I’d checks had been done and the private banking account set up they transferred the money.

@TheCountessofLocksley spill it! How much did you win?

Most likely a lucky dip for the next draw…which will yield nothing.

🍀 for £30+ though!

Sounds exciting.
Be careful that it’s genuine.

How much do you have to win for them to email you to say you’ve won a prize?

I won £5 once, I was very careful about how I invested it.

If you play online they will email you if you win a prize of any amount. So could be £2.50

Cant ypu juwt check the results by ypur numbers?

I won £100 last year. I felt like a millionaire 😂

I'm signed up for the automatic DD and tickets and I get emails when I've won £2.50 (although it never says the amount in the email)

Oh I hope it's a few thousand coming your way! 🙏

I had an e mail from Premium Bonds. I imagined 100k. It turned out to be 100 pounds. It was still nice to receive. Good luck. If u post a GIF of someone sitting in a hammock,we will know you have won big time 🤣

Ive had emails like this many ,many times unfortunately for me its never been more than double figures but hope your is luckier!

Used to the despair, - but the hope is a killer! Good luck OP.

It’s nice to dream but all online purchases receive an email if you win any amount. I love that time in betwen receiving the email and logging on to check. As someone has said, if site down, check the numbers yourself.

When it’s a lucky dip, the email tells you so this is definitely a win.

I had two lucky dips in last night’s draw from last Wed and Sat and have two ‘win’ emails this morning.
If you know your numbers you can see the draw on YouTube, Doesn’t help me today because I didn’t make a note of my lucky dips 😠Just going to hope for the best until tonight.

You have won a scam. Don't give them your bank details

Oh I love this little bit between the email and finding out it’s £3.40. I would use the time the site is down to go check out rightmove and pic your dream home. (Sorry but prepare yourself for a £3.40 win!)

This is how the real lottery tell you if you bought a ticket online. It’s not a scam. Your email just tells you to log into with no link, you have to go back to your account/app. Apparently they dont tell you the amount in the email because when they were setting up the system, it was still really common for families/couples to just have one email address everyone used and you have a right to keep it secret.

But if it’s over £50k they won’t just give it to you via the app you have to call them /have a meeting to get the money.

How is it a scam if the OP has bought a national lottery ticket and has received an email from the national lottery? The paranoia on MN is astounding at times.

I get emails from them all the time to say I’ve won, it’s usually a couple of quid. I’ve had a few £25/£30’s. We had a couple of thousand back in the early 2000’s, but that was before it was online.

Hope it’s a big one op.
