On-line National Lottery tickets

[kriskwery]

For some time I've been quite happy buying my Lotto ticket on-line and have even had a couple of small wins (no begging letters please - only a couple of tenners!).

BUT the thought occurs ....... what would happen if I died but had just had a big win?  Nobody else but me would know if I had made a purchase & how to access it. Do Camelot make any attempt to reach me (/my executors) by any other means?  Would the money end up going to charity??

I've just started to print off the "ticket" but have no idea if this would be acceptable to claim a prize. 

Any ideas???

To purchase on line tickets with them did you not have to set up an account and put �x in it cause if you did they have your name and bank details so do your winnings not automatically get put back on your card or in your account??  They would contact you for publicity purposes and then tract your executors doen that way!!

Ha!   Having just won �10, I was able to check the process.  Camelot send a email: "We have some exciting news about the ticket that you bought for the Saturday 30 April draw" with the appropriate link.  You then have to log into their site and click the right buttons to transfer the money to your chosen (bank) account.

So my questions still stands ...........  ! ! !
