Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your Email dated 08 July 2011.

We are unable to advise individual players on the local laws in specific countries and jurisdictions as these are a matter for the authorities in those areas, not Camelot, and are subject to change. In any event, as I am sure you will appreciate, with over five million registered players, it would not be possible to provide advice in respect of any individual player’s entitlement to play.

It is the player’s responsibility to ensure that they comply with The National Lottery Terms and Conditions and Rules. Should players be in any doubt as to whether they are located in the UK or Isle of Man – and because we don’t want any of our players to breach local laws or miss out on a prize – we would strongly advise that they refrain from playing UK National Lottery games.

However, although local laws overseas are beyond our control, we can – and do – offer our players many other ways in which they can enjoy playing the UK National Lottery while they are on holiday or working overseas, safe in the knowledge that they won’t miss out on a prize. If people are travelling abroad for a short period, they can buy tickets in advance – up to eight weeks for Lotto, Lotto HotPicks and Thunderball, four weeks for EuroMillions and one week for Daily Play.

They can also play by direct debit. As long as they set up their account and only make amendments to it – such as buying additional tickets, or changing their numbers or payment details – when they are physically located in the UK or Isle of Man, their tickets will be valid if they travel overseas. People can also play the UK National Lottery with friends and family as part of a syndicate whose Syndicate Manager is located and is playing in the UK or Isle of Man – we provide advice on playing as part of a syndicate on our website at www.national-lottery.co.uk.

I trust that this information has clarified the situation for you.

Yours faithfully

Selby Duffield

你们当然算resident了,住在UK就可以了啊

你老公的信是怎麼寫的,感覺他們回你的好像是如果英國人到海外了,成了overseas students然後他不能建議因為當地的條例不一樣,要自己清楚服從 相關条款和条件和规则,然後告訴幾種方法還是不會錯過買UK National Lottery的機會, ?

哈哈, 好搞笑啊。。。
不过你只要是中奖的话就会给你的。。 因为你是在英国买的, 不是在国外直接买的。 呵呵
你算是在英国居住的人了。 即使是学生

UK or Isle of Man resident

介个很明显是说居住在UK or Isle of Man的人都可以吧。。。又没有讲是nationality。。。{:5_129:}

中的话给的,我唯一见过的移民中lotto高奖金的是一个朋友的朋友,菲律宾人,英语说得很差:L 中奖的时候应该是wp的dependent,中的是2000 quid,二等奖吧?多年下来,个人看到的报纸上的大奖得主都是当地人,多为中老年白人,没有听过有移民中头奖的,不知道是移民从来不中头奖还是他们从来不露面 :cn17:
btw,整天指望中lotto就免了吧,没听说过lottery的别称吗?tax on stupidity :L

hmrc确定resident的标准大概是每年183天在英国,可能有频繁出入
或者连续4年每年有92天都算

不过national lottery发通知说了如果买彩票的当天人不在英国,在境外网上买的,就算回英国了也领不了

你们肯定是uk resident啊

呃……我俩一直以为是指必须是公民,因为网站上还有另外一句you must be a resident of the UK or Isle of Man at all times. You must also be physically located in the UK or Isle of Man……
觉得如果是只要住在英国就可以的话 就没必要强调后面 You must also be physically located in the UK or Isle of Man这句了。

是啊,我老公这两天可能看到人家中大奖的新闻看多了,心里就开始痒痒了,这个帖子是他逼我来问的,还威胁我说我要是不发他中奖了也没我的份:cn03:

我觉得你分析的对,肯定是我老公的信没写清楚,他们理解错了才这么回的。怪不得看得我们一头雾水……

是啊,我们想中国的彩票大奖也没听过有老外中过,就分析是不是彩票都不对外国人开放的:cn14:

回答的太专业了,3Q~~~

{:5_141:}住在UK就可以
