Just had a memo from the UK Lottery stating that as of 23 April 2012, they will block anyone attempting to access the Lottery from abroad.



Will be interesting to see if anyone using a VPN, how they get on?

They accept your money and if you win say oh no you are outside the uk. It happened to a friend.

Would a winner from the TRNC be able to collect a prize in the EURO lottery ?

As the ROC government claim to be the government of all Cyprus and are in the EURO zone are those in the north eligable to to play ?
