Winners Can be Losers (But Not in e-lottery!)
Yet another pitfall that you can avoid by joining an e-lottery syndicate: kicking yourself for the rest of your life because you lost your winning ticket, or forgot to buy one with your usual numbers one week!
According to Camelot (operators of the UK National Lottery & EuroMillions), just in the past month:
- £55,639 from the Lotto draw on Saturday 9 February 2008 remained unclaimed more than 180 days after the draw, so was given to good causes
- £250,000 from the Thunderball draw on Wednesday 6 February 2008 remained unclaimed more than 180 days after the draw, so was given to good causes
- £70,092 from the Lotto draw on Saturday 5 January 2008 remained unclaimed more than 180 days after the draw, so was given to good causes
...and Camelot's list reads like this every single month. In JUST ONE WEEK this year, £2,411,524 was given away to good causes because the winners did not come forward in time to claim their prizes.
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU...
It makes you feel sick, doesn't it? But you don't ever have to worry about this happening to you when you play through an e-lottery syndicate - your syndicate numbers and winning payments are managed electronically, so you never have to worry about forgetting to buy or losing a ticket, or forgetting to check your numbers, ever again! And you won't have to stand in the news agent queues, either! We send you the results of every draw, and contact you when your syndicate wins - then send you 100% of your share.
