Avoiding Fraud

In common with other reputable companies, we are aware that scammers may use our brand to defraud innocent individuals. We have provided some tips and examples of things to watch out for to make sure you can spot any fake communication claiming to be from us, but if you are ever unsure just get in touch with our team on 0808 109 8765.

  • Remember legitimate lotteries will never ask you to pay anything to receive your winnings or to keep your win a secret.
  • If you haven't bought a ticket, you can't be a winner and you can only win a prize which has been advertised.
  • Even if an email or letter appears to be from a company you know, contact them via another method to confirm they sent it.

Draw Process
