The two Euromillions winners from Friday night’s lottery draw have claimed their money. This makes them the UK’s largest ever lottery winners. One there claims have been checked and validated they will get £45.5 million each. It’s possible that with the money they win they could become as rich as Jamie Oliver, Sir Michael Caine or Kate Moss.
With the total amount of £45,570,835.50 they could buy Portsmouth football club or a 40-acre island in the British Virgin Islands. They can also get a place in The Sunday Times Rich List, the first British lottery winners to have a place on there. One thing is that they won’t have any problems with the recession. There claims won’t be validated until tomorrow when the banks open.
The National lottery will have its fifteenth birthday this month on 19th November. Since then they have created 2,300 millionaires. The winning numbers in Friday’s Euromillions were 11, 19, 34, 43 and 45. The lucky star numbers were five and nine. Once the wins are confirmed the new millionaires will be directed to a “winners’ adviser” who will help them negotiate with private bankers and financial advisers.
In August a former nurse had told an Edinburgh court how he had lost three or four million to a fraudulent business partnership. Another winner was investigated for benefit fraud after winning £77 million. She was forced to go into hiding after receiving death and abduction threats. She eventually bought a mansion and had state-of-the-art security and hiring separate post vans to deliver requests for money. The two recent winners are in the safe hands of experts so shouldn’t have problems. We will just have to wait and see.
