I bet there was never a winner and this is just a way to steal lottery money
The national lottery is under incredibly close scrutiny from the regulator. The draw is still held under the gaze of an independent adjudicator.
The lottery will be required to prove the money has been distributed lawfully.
Distributed to someone’s brother’s charity.
