Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000

As usual I'm confused, where in the lottery rules does it state win yourself a pension?

I would hope that if I had such a windfall I would manage it better than this couple, but isn't the whole idea about winning something like this so that you can treat yourself to things you couldn't afford before?

If the lottery is no longer giving prize money, (which I always thought was tax free), but now expecting everyone that wins to use the money as a 'rainy day fund', then whoever started it is misrepresenting themselves to the people that choose to buy tickets.
