Happ Hazzard Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 There is a cap on the jackpot anyway, and I think it had been reached, the surplus money gets distributed over the other prize stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I hope someone as claimed the win, our ticked as fallen down the back of the fire place and I don’t fancy ripping it off the wall if it says the unclaimed ticket was sold in S. Yorkshire For over £160 million, would you care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Spyda Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Daft commie idea. It's a lottery and the whole idea is it allows someone to become stinking rich. Spot on. Fair play to them for winning. that's what it's there for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saffy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Pfft .. Not sure I'd be bothered about remaining anonymous or not .. I'm tight fisted and wouldn't be giving anything to anyone other than close family .. and none to my husband's side of the family apart from my mother in law.

MC Spyda Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'd definitely remain anonymous. Otherwise you'd be watching your back everytime you went out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Quite right MC Spyda. One of the really valuable life lessons my Dad imparted to me from a young age, is that "to live happy, you have to live hidden" Pfft .. Not sure I'd be bothered about remaining anonymous or not .. I'm tight fisted and wouldn't be giving anything to anyone other than close family .. and none to my husband's side of the family apart from my mother in law.You might not have much of a choice in giving away a large chunk of it, if one or more family members get kidnapped for ransom, once the perps know who to kidnap. One of the more obvious good reasons to stay anonymous. Amongst many, many others. Were I to ever win such a large sum (well...I'd have to play first ), no-one else but me (and the organisers) would ever know...But relevant family and select few (real) friends might get a letter from an anonymous offshore holding company out of the blue, informing them that they have been made a director/board member for life with a fixed annual income I wouldn't want them to know it was me, ever...as otherwise it would be bound to end in tears at some stage or another (such is human natue).

Chris_Sleeps Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 £161 million is surely too much for one ticket to win however big the syndicate may be You have to distribute the money based on the odds of winning it though. For the top prize to be £161 million then the prizes for 5 numbers will be quite large too. It can't be split fairly without ignoring the mathematics.
