National Lottery operator Allwyn changes payout process for wins between £500 and £500,000 due to Post Office ending its Lottery contract. This has led to longer waiting times for payouts, as winners must now verify their winning numbers online or over the phone before sending their ticket via post for inspection. Allwyn has increased staff to assist players during this time.
