UK Lottery Draw: Lottery Winners Stay Sensible

Posted by admin on May-17-2012

The impression many people get of those who win large prizes on the British National Lottery, theEuropean lottery or any of the other big global lotteries is that they then lead extravagant lifestyles.

Chris and Susan Bowers from Northamptonshire have shown this not to be the case.

The couple won £3.5 million in the Eurolottery draw ten months ago but have found the win has not changed them as people. Chris was due to retire soon in ant case so he simply left work earlier than expected. The couple also bought a new bungalow to live in, and a Land Rover and Mercedes car but have tried not to be too extravagant.

As Chris told his local newspaper, “It changed our lives, but only in the way that it made things easier. We are still the same people, and have the same friends and family.”

It seems the happiest lottery winners are this who are sensible and keep their feet on the ground. And it is also good to keep a sense of humour about the whole thing: Chris Bowers added an aside “Besides, my wife wouldn’t let me squander it all.”

Global Lotteries: Lottery Fraud And How To Avoid It

Posted by admin on Apr-30-2012

Is it me or have the number of lottery scam emails increased recently? It is not enough for us here at UKLotteryDraw.com to report on the British National Lottery, the European lottery and other global lotteries, we also have advised several people regarding the many lottery scams there are around.

In the last few weeks we have ourselves received an amazing number of fraudulent emails regarding not only lottery scams but also other attempts to extract money from us. But, as this is a lottery website, let’s look at the lottery emails.

Firstly, can we reiterate the rules for avoiding lottery scams:

1. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. You never get something for nothing – particularly where money is concerned.

2. In lotteries, you will never, ever win anything unless you buy a ticket or join a syndicate. If you have not joined one of the many global lotteries you are not in it.

3. No lottery administrator will ever contact you if you have won. If you do think you have a winning lottery number you will have to contact the lottery company yourself.

4. At no time will any lottery administrator ask for your personal details or ask you to send money to them before releasing the prize. There is no exception to this.

The scammers are after your personal details (identity theft) or your money. Send either to them and you will start a nightmare you want to avoid at all costs.

If you do receive a fraudulent email, letter or telephone call you may want to refer it to your local law enforcement organization, government consumer department or one of the online fraud agencies (see some useful links below) but please DO NOT respond to the fraudsters.

Delete the email, burn the letter or put the telephone down.

These fraudsters are making millions from their victims. Please let’s shut them down.

Here are some example emails I have collected from kind correspondents:
