Details of the prize
Rules state that the Camelot group will determine as to when the ticket was bought or whether the winner is an individual or a syndicate shall not be revealed until ticket-holder decides for a public reveal. The prize will be paid out after a meeting to validate the ticket. Then it shall be up to the winner whether they want to share the news or not.
