I received your email with some of the informations requested of you and your winnings will be transfered to your bank account via our affiliate bank. Therefore you would be advised to contact the paying bank in order to initiate the processing of setting up an account to which your prize sum would be paid to make possible the bank to bank transfer of your winnings.
You have no worry about claiming your funds because you are a council employee. The goverment has nothing to do with your personal winnings all you have to do is make sure your winning numbers such as the reference numbers are kept away from the public.
The contact details of the bank is stated below:
NATWEST BANK

Telephone: 0044 7899 036 885
Fax: 0044 8712 648 466

Upon contacting the bank by email, ensure to state your names, telephone numbers, winning reference numbers and amount won in order to get a quick response. I would expect you to keep me informed on your correspondence with the bank, so my office can facilitate the smooth remittance of your prize winnings.
