Helping with Life after a Lottery Win

Winning a huge lottery prize is something we all dream about. Coping with such a windfall isn’t an easy task though. Thankfully, there is a team of National Lottery winners’ advisers who help those who are lucky enough to win more than £50,000.Your whole life changes when a big lottery win comes along as senior winners’ adviser Andy Carter explains.  Firstly, he has to help deal with all the paperwork (no one likes doing that) and arranging that amazing payment. Then comes the part he believes is “probably the most exciting part.” This involves “looking after someone going through a real life-changing experience.”

Delay the Big Purchases

Andy is a man who has years of experience in helping lottery winners. Although the temptation may be to immediately go out and buy a car or house, he recommends buying “something small.” That’s a way of celebrating your luck before sitting down to work out how to use your winnings. “As much as it sounds very boring, it’s sage advice to take your time over stuff,” he said.Normally his advice is to go on a holiday but that’s not too easy at present. It is important though to take your time and let the amazing news sink in. “It’s a huge amount of money, you could change not only your life but lots of lives and you can do an awful lot of good,” he says.There are many areas in which he can help winners. This ranges from the administration side, financial and legal advice to being a life coach.

Screaming Aplenty

Every winner reacts in a different way to their lottery success. Mr Carter has seen and heard many a winner running around and screaming “and that’s fantastic,” says the senior winners’ adviser. “What’s really lovely is when you see a winner tell a close loved one or family member about the win and that’s a real privilege. Because sometimes you’re there and they have no idea.”With so much experience in dealing with big winners, it’s no surprise they often ask him how others reacted.
