The National Lottery has new rules for faster payouts, making it easier for winners to get their cash directly in their bank accounts.
London: Big changes are happening with the National Lottery. Now, winners can get their cash in just 24 hours. No more waiting for a cheque to arrive in the mail!
Instead of the old way, players can have their winnings, from £500 to £50,000, sent straight to their bank accounts. Just enter your bank details online, and boom, it’s there within a day.
Jenny Blogg, who works at Allwyn, says this is a game-changer for those who buy tickets in stores. It’s not just quicker; it also saves money on admin and postage. So, it’s a win-win for everyone!
Allwyn has made it super simple to claim your prize. Just head to their website, fill out the claim form, and upload a picture of your winning ticket. You’ll get an email with a link to add your bank info.
Once you do that, your winnings will hit your account within 24 hours. If it’s the weekend, it might take a bit longer, but still, not too shabby!
