New National Lottery Rules Announced for Players Including 24-Hour Requirement

Birmingham: Big news for lottery players! The National Lottery is shaking things up. Winners can now get their cash much faster. If you win between £500 and £50,000, the money goes straight to your bank account. No more waiting for a cheque to arrive.

This new payment method is super convenient. Just enter your bank details online, and you’ll see the money in 24 hours. But remember, this only works for tickets bought in shops. Jenny Blogg, the operations director at Allwyn, is thrilled about this change.

She mentioned how this new system will save time and cut costs. It’s all about making things easier for players. Allwyn took over the National Lottery in 2024 and had to revamp the claims process.

Before this, the Post Office stopped handling certain prize payments. So, this new online claim process is a game-changer. Plus, there’s some advice out there about winning. A blogger known as “Lottery Guy” suggests that smaller jackpots might be easier to win.

He pointed out that games with smaller prizes often have better odds. So, if you’re playing the Lotto, you might just be in for a treat!
