Camelot today announced that their Security Division were to hold an official enquiry into the Liverpool syndicate who won £45 Million in last Friday's EuroMillions Draw.

Payment of the prize money has been withheld until the outcome of the investigation is known.

The Seven members of the syndicate, all Hewlett Packard employees, were not available for comment; but a Camelot spokesperson said "We're taking this investigation very seriously. I mean, seven Scousers, in employment? Looks extremely suspicious to us".
