With most of these lotteries you only get a small amount each year don't you? I suppose you could take out a loan leveraged against the future payments.. but it never seems to work out as as much of a windfall as you'd think.
The winner of the Euromillions could have the full £184m sat in their bank account today should they wish.
Not too bad! Struth, how much would you need to get excited! I think the US pays out lottery winnings in dribs and drabs (taxed aswell I think). In UK some games pay out in full, others are designed to pay out annually/monthly, your choice.
Might be thinking of the US then, had definitely heard that. Think it could be the same here but not too sure.
While due diligence takes place, I don't expect we'll hear anything. In fact, I wouldn't expect to hear anything now, until it's either signed sealed and delivered, or it falls through.
