All lottery winners in the UK have the right to remain anonymous, and that includes jackpot winners. If you choose anonymity, no information will be released about your identity, the store from which you bought your ticket, whether you played in a syndicate, or anything else.
If you play online you can also opt for partial publicity, where just a few details will be released with your permission, but your full name will not be disclosed. Some winners opt for full publicity and share their story with the press, such as David and Carol Martin from Hawick, who won half of the record £66 million Lotto jackpot in January 2016.
If you still have a question that you would like answered, you can email us for more Lotto information. Go to the Contact Us page for details of how to get in touch.
