Does Camelot lean on people to go public?? If I won I wouldnt tell anyone or at least not make a huge fuss about it.
Good luck to the winners, hope it makes them happy.

If you had won 45,000,000 would you remain anonymous

Damn right I would stay anonymous. I wouldn't want any of the publicity at all or any of the crap that comes with it.

I'd tell nobody outside immediate family.
As for the begging leters....I'd keep sending them out just like before

2nd what Matthew H said.

Absolutely. It'll never happen to me anyway 'cos I don't do the lottery.

I'm saying nothing
At all.

Too right i'd remain anonymous,long lost relatives who 'just happened to be in the area,so we thought we'd call in'...yeah right!!,no doubt my **** money grabbing bitch of an ex wife would 'look me up' too...
So no publicity for me,thanks!!
Oh,er....

No publicity here either. I'd leave my job, saying I had a better one to go to, I'd keep my current car, but quietly buy a nice place somewhere quiet and get myself settled before getting a better car and other stuff. No way I'd be buying a huge house that I'd have to maintain. I'd maybe set up a nice bike shop but employ good people to actually run it, 'cos I'm useless, then I could just work in the shop. There's a few local charities that would quietly benefit, too.

I'd go public before the media hunted me down, then buy a blunderbuss and sit on my porch, waiting.....

It's part of the Ts & Cs of doing the lottery that you aren't allowed to remain anonymous. My mate won a couple of million a few yrs back.

No way - I would insist on telling everyone......

Is it? What a bunch of gits. Well if I win they can keep their money, that'll teach them.

Many lottery winners have remained anonymous I believe

We could all be millionaires if the bank of england all gave us a million each instead of that quantitive easing boll@x.
We all then just leave the country for warmer climbs. Britain becomes a wilderness sorted!

Go public!!!!
With the skeletons in my closet!!! no thanks, 6months solid on the front page of the sun, no ta.
You can bet the sun will be running its 'do you know the winners? have you shagged them at a xmas staff party? did they forget there uncles last birthday? muck raking crap.
My mate won 5.5m bout 7 years ago went public, but never seen since in the press, just got on with his life. (albeit, MUCH more comfortable life)

...the Company may not publicise any details of any Prize winner without the prior written consent of that person

I'd remain anonymous, give a fair chunk to charities, make sure my family & friends are well looked after & then buy a HUGE motorhome & take off. A few yrs trundling round Europe, then off to Oz/NZ and then over to America.
Should really start buying a ticket, really. Used to every week, but haven't for ages.

i think it is a silly amount to win, they should limit the the win to say 1mill so more people can win.
i mean where would you draw the line with the people you would help, friends etc.
i'd love to win enough to pay all debt buy a few bits and nobody apart from close family would ever know.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'd buy some anonimity
Posted 2 years ago # -
and a dictionary

i think people would guess ...... helicopters / cars/ bikes / partys / girls / more cars / always on holiday / more bikes /
Posted 2 years ago # -
I wouldn't tell a soul. And I include my wife in that category.
Posted 2 years ago # -
No way would i tell anyone, its difficult enough to get discount at my LBS when I'm skint let along if i was loaded
Posted 2 years ago # -
Go public! F*ck me, I think everyone from here to Pluto would know if I won!
But you lot would get bog all.
And plenty of it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!Posted 2 years ago # -
Ditto the remaining anonymous, most of the hedonistic man whoring crap ive got up to in the past no body would quite rightly be bothered about normally but with a few mil in my pocket id be a target for every tabloid hack looking for an easy story.

"they should limit the the win to say 1mill so more people can win"
But surely that would reduce the appeal of it? You can't buy that much with 1 million or have a rich style for the rest of your life on it either. How much does the government get of it?

I'd stay anonomous, though my LBS might be able to guess somethings up ..

You wouldn't be able to stay anonymous with that kind of win. The media would want to know, and someone would grass you up, and that way you'd have no control over the story.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I guess a few of the more perceptive work colleagues might guess something was up as I ran around the place with an axe smashing everything to small bits and laughing manically.
Anyway, how the **** do you hide the fact you've won £45m, other than by not touching it. In which case why win it in the first place.
Posted 2 years ago # -
definitely stay as anonymous as I could, not worried about the begging letters or relatives [**** em all!], more about being targeted by 'nasty' ppl.
As for the charitable contributions, well yes of course you would, it's a tax dodge ain't it....
Posted 2 years ago # -
First thing I would buy is a stealth suit, not a cat in hells chance that I would let the world know. Great way to ensure your life & that of your family is runined IMHO
