Its just a scam to collect personal info.

You don't see Camelot asking for that info when there's a winner.

Fair enough, but did he? Plus the numbers don't check out for that date either, anyway I think we've guessed it's a scam!

I love the way it takes place every week, giving away millions of quid, but no one has to pay to enter.

Great business plan that, i think i might pop down the local branch of natwest and talk to my small business adviser about borrowing 200 million quid to give away next year for utterly no reason, obvioulsy works if others are doing it
