Be over 20 years since I last did it. Simple enough these days to put it direct into a bank account and have access that way. Looks like the TABS have tightened up as have the banks.

I got the Trifecta up the year Shocking won and paid over 9K on IAS. I had all sorts of problem getting it out. First of all I had to do the ID things with them (I never thought I would be withdrawing). Then they would only pay it into the account I deposited from which was my credit card which had a limit of 3K and I owed very little.

The bank got sus about a large amount of money being deposited into a credit card account putting it over 3 times as the limit in credit and didn't inform me until I enquired several days after IAS said they had paid me. I then had to prove to the bank that my ill gotten gains were legitimate before I could get the cash.
