Do you think it's a good idea to claim your winnings a day after hitting the jackpot or wait a few weeks?
How about you? When do you think is the right time to claim your winnings?
lottery event owners will certainly need several days to give the winning money to the winner because usually the funds they have are stored elsewhere, they don't have a lot of cash at one time, they have to collect it and also verify the winner, whether he is really fair or commit cheating while the lottery event is in progress, in essence the reasons used by the lottery organizers to delay the time for awarding prizes, are very acceptable.
Yes this is one of the reason since they need to set up a schedule for a winner to claim his prize. Also there are instances that a winner is avoiding any commotion that might happen in public since this is so risky especially on their personal security since they are dealing with huge amount of money that's why other lottery winners decide to take their prizes when the news about the lucky winner subside so that they can make sure that by the time they claim their rewards they are safe and make sure no other bad elements will follow them since they are bringing a huge check that has a lot of money in it.
If I am the winner I will not claim my winnings instantly maybe I will wait for couple of weeks and just call the lottery institution about that so they would know that we are waiting for right timing so there will be no big problems will came once we claim our money.
