Q :
How long
has the U.K. National Lottery been going?
A :
The first Draw took place on
November 19, 1994. Within the first month a
single individual had won a £17.8 Million
Jackpot which was the largest lump sum, tax-free
Jackpot ever. Since that first month,
larger Jackpots and many multi-million pound cash
prizes have been won by single individuals
playing the U.K. National Lottery.
Q :
Why is
the U.K. National Lottery so popular?
A :
The U.K. National Lottery is
managed and supervised by Camelot PLC. This
organization was selected to run and administer
the lottery and is licensed by the British
Government.
The Lottery is popular because it pays out more
in cash prizes than any other National Lottery
and the cash prizes are consistently larger.
Q :
Are U.K.
taxes deducted from my winnings?
A :
No. Your winnings are
completely tax-free. The amount you win is
the amount you keep.
Q :
How is
the money paid?
A :
Your winnings can be paid in any
currency you want and deposited in any bank of
your choice. If you win a large prize
equivalent to US$100,000 or more you can always
come to the U.K. and collect your winnings
personally if you want.
Q :
Are
there any other handling charges?
A :
None. Postage and handling
costs are covered in the cost of your
subscription.
Q :
What
happens if I'm not happy in any way with the
service I get?
A :
You're fully protected by the Money
Back Guarantee. If after entering,
you're not completely satisfied with the service
you receive, you can cancel your subscription at
any time and receive a full refund on the
unexpired portion.
Q :
How do I
know when I win?
A :
First you receive an OFFICIAL
ENTRY CONFIRMATION showing the numbers you have
selected and the period over which you will be
playing. Then, immediately after each Draw,
the computer is programmed to check all overseas
entries. By the next morning we know who
has won. Jackpot winners, and winners above
US$25,000, are phoned immediately. All
other winners are notified within 7-10 days.
Q :
How can
I check the winning numbers for myself?
A :
You can check the U.K. National
Lottery HOTLINE number for overseas subscribers
in Amsterdam which tells you the winning numbers
48 hours after they've been announced.
Every 5 weeks you're also sent the official list
of winning numbers so you can check for yourself
how you're doing. If you have an email
address, you can have the Official Results
emailed to you every Wednesday. You can
also visit the first page of this website every week to find out the
winning numbers in the previous week's UK National Lottery Draw.
Q :
Suppose
I forget completely to check my winning numbers?
A :
Don't worry, our computers check
your Entry Numbers for each Game you play, and
you'll be notified automatically when you win.
Q :
Will my
winnings be confidential?
A :
The U.K. has no reporting
requirements for lottery winnings, so winners can
remain completely anonymous. Our staff are
sworn to secrecy, so you'll be the only one to
know what you've won. Your winnings are
paid cash and tax-free into any bank account in
any country you specify.
Q :
What is
Overseas Subscribers Agents (OSA)?
A :
Overseas Subscribers Agents is a
Government-licensed Lottery Service Agency which
has been entering subscribers into overseas
National Lotteries around the world for over 10
years. Acting as agents on behalf of
Lottery players, OSA makes it possible for you to
enter Government Lotteries, such as the UK
National Lottery, from the convenience of your
own home.
