    Someone who did win a large UK lottery amount went public some years ago about the circa £400,000 in fees which the financial advisers sent by Camelot (aka those who paid Scamalot the most in kickbacks) wanted to charge him for this supposed "advice".

    No doubt they will have some rip off artists "advising" the hopeless sap who wins it, hoping to stick him with some huge fee commission.
  • One thing that I have always wondered about winning the lottery and getting such a huge amount like this.

    Would the banks still do a credit search on you? Or would they be begging you to join up to private banking within seconds? :D

    £1 of debt is too much for me!

    Well, as the OP of this thread I seemed to have conjured up some good fortune for myself.

    I won £10 last night :j
