Ever imagined what life would be like if you suddenly hit the jackpot?

From winning a game show or the lotto, receiving an inheritance to finding and flipping a valuable antique, Insight hears from people who have found instant wealth.

Did they squander their riches or set themselves up for life?

Guests will talk about how their life-changing windfall impacted on their identity and relationships.

How does an increased fortune change the winners and the behaviour of those around them.

Is it taboo to talk or complain about being well-off and any problems it creates?

What would you do if you came into a large amount of money?

Rule One is not to keep knowledge of the event from friends and families until you have prepared to do with it as you will.

Remember: make your decisions based on your free will, not on someone else's free will.

What's a 'large amount of money?' :)

Throw a huge weekend BBQ with top-drawer Kobe steaks for the apartments comes readily to mind. Live entertainment. Bouncey castle for the kids (tied/anchored to the ground I've seen those videos hehe.) Pro-wait staff (being paid more than $15/hour) :)

Everything free.

In many cultures, when 1 member of a tribe has a good hunt or otherwise 'gets a windfall,' they'd share it with the tribe, not hoarde it for themselves. What's the point of being pat of tribe if ya do? I like that model and use it myself as much as I can.
 
As one of the world’s leading lottery operators, Camelot sets global standards when it comes to looking after winners. It offers an unparalleled level of professional support to help and advise new winners throughout this life-changing experience, as well as a unique aftercare service.

As well as being a time of extreme excitement and happiness, suddenly winning a substantial sum of money can be an overwhelming and emotional experience for many people – but support from Camelot begins as soon as a winner makes a claim on a prize.

For UK National Lottery prizes over £50,000, our player services team is able to pay them in the comfort of their own home, or alternatively they can choose to have their prize validated at one of our prize payout centres.

For winners over £500,000, a private banking representative can visit them at home to discuss additional services on offer to winners with new-found wealth. We also arrange for a panel of independent legal and financial experts to visit winners of over £500,000 to offer impartial advice and practical guidelines.

One of the most important decisions for new winners to make is whether to opt to go public or remain anonymous. If a winner decides to talk publicly about their win, Camelot’s PR team will organise a press conference and handle all media interest on their behalf, removing the anxiety that can accompany talking about a big win.

If they have requested to remain anonymous, Camelot takes its obligations and duty of care to protect winners’ privacy very seriously. Unless a winner agrees to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no information about them can be released by Camelot into the public domain.

We have a dedicated team of winners’ advisers who look after all our major jackpot winners. They remain a source of support and advice for as long as a winner needs – often remaining in touch years after hitting the jackpot.


Our responsibility to winners
