    :D

    no probs, x

    Ive been looking for coffee then just read your reply with the missing word being the answer LOL
  • I manage my account online so when (if) I win anything, I get an email saying "Good news, please check your lotto account". The most I have ever won online is about £40 from 4 numbers but I was just wondering if they still notify you in the same way if you win a substantial amount?

    I can't imagine them doing this if you won £250k or whatever, surely they would call you?

    As this has not happened to be me (yet :D), I just wondered if I can always expect just a small prize when I receive that secret squirrel email!
    You do have rights......but you still need common sense.

    I think they still do email you, i remember reading about a man who had won the jackpot and he received the email but thought it was spam until he logged on and saw his balance! (lucky him)

    Definitely get the emails - I know this not from personal experience unfortunatley...

    The couple who went on to buy a house with Kirstie and Phil on Location Location Location had an email, and I believe the couple who shared the big euromillions win also had email notification.

    Now wouldn't it be nice to have that WEM!!

    I wondered if they'll email me when I win the millions too & if the email will be any different, or if they'd ring me but I wouldn't believe them if they did :D

    Even if they ring or email you probably going to check the ticket 10 times
    A rule of the universe is, the more you give, the more you get

    You get the e-mail regardless of the size of the win but the a big prize does not just "appear" in your account you have to claim it.
