Exactly. "This might be the winning ticket" when she knows damn well it isn't is an attempt to obtain money by deception.
She says she's never made a claim. She said she had a ticket which had been washed, and she asked Camelot if it was the winning ticket. She apparently never made an official claim that the ticket was the winning ticket. Which I think is probably enough to stop her being prosecuted. Lack of evidence. To attempt to defraud the lottery you have to make a claim.KingNothing said:
Wednesday's draw netted you £883 for 5 balls, think we're headed to £50 million "must be won" again in a few weeks time.
Agreed, might play again then.Ironically, 4 of my old 'regular' numbers came out on Wednesday. Shame I don't play them regularly anymore, it would have been £93. With odds of 2,179:1, the return of £93 would have been terrible anyway, I've probably saved half that since stopping!

1 ticket won £32m. Very nice!One UK ticket won £24m on the Euro Friday. That'll go pretty much unmentioned I suspect, a great one to have won if you want anonymity,
Yes, I'd like to win mega millions. And yes, quite frankly, it's a stupid amount for the average man in the street, who, unless he goes bonkers couldn't spend all of it sensibly. I’d rather more people won say £10M each time. That’s plenty for 99% of the winners. My lottey spend has gone down since the new format came in.

Mrs Cannings, who still works as a teacher, said: "I know it sounds mad, but we had a guy in to paint the whole house.
"We'd been planning it for ages and had packed everything into boxes.
"We just thought it would be easier to wait, although it did mean that Gerry had to carry round the winning ticket in his wallet all week.
"It was very nerve-wracking."
Sorry, but what a couple of fannies. Ah we'll put off claiming £32 million as we have the painter coming this week, the bd might want more.

Came on here to post the same thing, don't understand any logic in it. You have a piece of paper worth 32.5 million and you decide to keep it in your wallet for a week.
I think we've done this a few times but I'd keep it secret.
Probably very very quiet for a few months, jack in work and tell them I'm going consulting/set up on my own/having a change of direction.
I'd then probably blag I'd won a lesser amount and got one of those supercar club memberships because suddenly turning up to a friends in a Ferrari might raise a few eyebrows. But actually own the cars.

I'd never go public but if I did, I'd definitely tell the conference I plan to spunk a load of money on flash cars, realising some of my and my wife's dreams and enabling friends and family to realise some dreams of their own. Oh, and charidee too.
Surely that's what Camelot want you to say if you go public? The "we're not giving up work and won't move house" sorts don't sell tickets.
