Just seen the two girls from Sunderland who've won £15 m between them , that's lead to a question I can't answer.

Theoretically someone wins the lottery for say £5m do they .

1. Claim the lot for themselves and distribute as he or she sees fit ?

2. Form a syndicate between winning the lottery and presenting the winning ticket for payment , to distribute amongst say friends or family to reduce any potential tax liabilities ?

3. Do they get this advice from Camelot or who ever it is prior to claiming the payment ?

Anyone have any knowledge of such things ?
