  1. There was a quiz show in the UK in the 2000s called Stake Out which claimed that contestants put up £250 of their own money to potentially win £25,000. The producers were told that this would not be deemed legal and so had to stump up the money themselves. If they hadn't done that, they'd likely be in trouble with the Independent Television Commission and the Police.

  2. In the UK, you can't gift a lottery ticket. They check where it was bought from and who purchased it. There has been at least one case I know of where a couple got convicted of fraud for claiming the prize on a ticket they didn't purchase. If this case happened in the UK, she'd be going to prison for a long time.
