the Euro Lottery has been won by a ticket in the UK.........is it yours ?

17 19 38 42 45.....lucky stars 9 10

Good luck to him/her. Son visited his local shop tonight and the shopkeeper told him that an hour previous a young man (a regular) had bought a Millionaire Scratch Card, walked back in looking worried, asked her to check and yes he has won a million.

It does happen close to home............but not close enough !!

my son in laws friend has bought £166 worth of tickets for last night, I wonder if it was him, but silly man spending all that money.

He doesn't need the money then if he has £166 to spare and risk losing!

Hope it's a syndicate but even so it will be a huge responsibility to have so much money land in your lap.

So sad it wasn't me tho, I had such plans!

We have a lotto syndicate at work. Buy our tickets in ten week blocks and it costs us about 240 of your pounds for the ten weeks for our tickets. And that equals about one of your pounds per week per person give or take a dollar or two.

Problem is there are 24 of us in the syndicate. Which means we need to win a super lotto of about $24M for us to do any good. Have we, no, not yet. However it is very exciting when we do win something because that reduces the amount we have to pay in the following ten weeks.

i dont put it on so it wast me :-D :-D :-D

I live in Romford, which is apparently the luckiest place in the UK for winning the Lottery. Still waiting for proof though... lol :-(

We did not get any so OH has to wait yet again for his 2 young racehorses and me - well I won't be buying a boat for the RNLI.

Is this from Friday?....If so....I haven't checked mine yet...It is in Oh's car

no last nights x

Not me but I did win £10 on a £2 scratch card today :-D

Does anyone have the knowhow to show me the way to write a convincing begging letter to them, as Our club needs to build a new clubroom......about 200 grand would be sufficient!!

I wish the family well, but I have to wonder what the average working family would do with this sort of money as it is such a huge amount. How would you handle that kind of win?

Big....oh sooooo easily lol.

Not sure I would want the publicity if I won a million or more let alone that huge sum

I understood their reasons for going public, they said they didn't want to have to lie to friends and family
However they didn't seem to want to do much with the money, had it been me I would have mentioned choosing many charities to help, not just say Oh Chris might get a new car and she(Chris) said Chris will get a new car. They aren't planning to move house, they have what looked like quite a nice one and two cars in the drive and just mentioned more foreign travel. Even worse, they said they would be getting tickets again for the lottery, fgs, how much do they want? That's plain greedy!

with the amount of money they have won, they could simply keep the money in an account and live off the return. The return alone would be an enormous amount of money and the capital would be secure. I cannot recall the exact amount they would have, but far more than one could imagine.
Personally I think they are right to try and keep some degree of normality, help their family and possible some friends and then try to maintain some common sense,. How many times has wealth of this magnitude caused stress and pain.?

I have a share in a small group of us, and so far we have won a few small amounts which go straight back into the kitty, it is fun, that is why I play, I never think that we may win a large amount. the chances are so remote.
So Good Luck to this couple and their family and friends,

:-D

It was said in one newspaper that as they didn't claim it right away they were losing £20.000 in intrest.
