KNN damn stressed to be waiting inside that room. If you are not the steadfast type.... sure will give away some of your winnings before you even step out from there.
Worse still it does not end there...... the following weeks you will also be receiving mail and calls from strangers. How the hell did they manage to get your private information?
Sometimes it is better to be a small winner ..... at least you get some peace of mind.

The current set up at Middle Road is not a small room. It is quite a big room with plenty of seats (a bit like waiting to collect passport at ICA) with a few staff working behind a counter protected by glass shield.
You are issued a cheque in your name so no point anyone rob you of your cheque.
I'd be glad to have the opportunities to go there frequently.
