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.....

Ant&Dec come round your house with the cash overflowing in a wheel barrow .
There's cameras and a big microphone boom.
All your neighbours come out and the kiddies try to scoop up any stray £20 notes (a member of the National Lottery team will wrestle them off the kid )
You then shake up a bottle of cheap champagne-type fizzy wine and soak everyone , while planning a holiday and a trip to Turkey for your "make-over"

They let you keep the wheel barrow to take it to your bank .

Oh, I see, I haven't logged in and just do it offline! Apologies!

Sorry to quote myself but I meant to add......

But I hope it's more than £2.50 for the OP!!

I had an email on Saturday morning telling me I had won a prize … a life changing £2.40. The ticket cost me £2.50

Good luck @DilemmaDelilah 🤞🤞🤞☘️☘️☘️

Just check the numbers yourself?

I was in a work syndicate which won the Euromillions £1m jackpot. They didn’t call, we only found out when the lady who administered the scheme did her routine check of the results on the online account and there it was! Her face was the biggest picture of astonishment I’ve ever seen

If it’s a big win it’ll be described as ‘higher tier’ in the email apparently.

Wow. How many in the syndicate. I think they only follow up the raffle 1M prize after some weeks of it being unclaimed. Winners sometimes miss this if playing on a paper ticket!

OP is either on her way to Monaco or looking at her £3.50 prize (minus the cost of the ticket) in sorrow.

I won £30 last week and put extra petrol in the car. Rock n roll here!

Wow was it life change amount each person got or were there loads in the syndicate?

There were about 20 of us, so not enough to retire on but a decent lump of cash that makes a difference. One of my staff used it to buy a house in Ireland which had always been her dream. She moved out there permanently a couple of years afterwards and has made a great life for herself.

I assumed that they only email you if you win big.

So imagine my disappointment when I logged in to wonder how many millions I’d won to find out I’d won a lucky dip 🙃

How lovely. Congratulations.

If you play online you get an email if you have set up.preferences when you win

I had the same happen yesterday got the email at 3am but the site closed overnight. Couldn't get back to sleep as I was too excited.

Finally got my results at 7am and it was £2.40. I decided to blow it on a £2 instant win game and won £6 which bought me some fish and chips for dinner.

I don’t even play the lottery but I’m invested in the op’s win!
good luck - hope it’s more than £2.50 and enough to retire on 🤞🏽

My mum got a you've won a prize email at 8.40pm last night. They usually come in after midnight, she won a massive £3

When I was in my early 20s my nan used to buy me a lottery ticket every week. Whenever I visited there was a big pile to go through, but I was lucky if I got a single tenner. On one visit, we were checking the numbers on Ceefax and found a ticket with 4 matches.

When I was in college a girl in one of my classes had won £90,000, and for some reason I was convinced she'd got it from four numbers.

I legged it down the street to the corner shop to get the ticket checked. In my mind I'd already spent half of it, so imagine my disappointment when instead of breaking out the bubbly, he opened his till and handed me 82 quid 😂

I had an email before Christmas that I'd won a prize in the post code lottery.
Teabags and a pair of socks.

My friend in a different area won Headphones.

I could do with a new wheelbarrow.

Hope it's a good 'un,OP!

Pleaae update us,I'm nosy :)

I get the same email regularly - for just £2.40-3.60. Don’t get too excited.
