Special win after ‘scary’ pandemic

A syndicate of 53 NHS workers won £118,044 on EuroMillions earlier this month.

They matched five numbers and one lucky star in the October 8 draw.

Pharmacy technician Kim Owen, 61, said: “It’s been a scary time for all of us so the win is extra special.”

Members of the syndicate, which is called the Pharmily Crew, will each receive £2,227. Most say they will spend their share on sunshine holidays.

‘I still shop in Primark despite winning £1.8m’

A NATIONAL Lottery winning dinner lady still lives in her council house, shops in Primark and drives a Kia despite bagging £1.8million.

Trish Emson, 51, explained money or hermillionaire statusdid not change her or her partner Graham Norton, also 51, who still works as a decorator.

The down-to-earth pair have even managed to keep their teenage son Benjamin, 17, in check – and don’t even give him pocket money.

The modest mum, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: “Being rich doesn’t make you posh or a better person.

“I don’t like showing off and bragging about money and I can’t be posh anyway.

“To look at me you wouldn’t think I was a millionaire, but if I have to dress up I feel fake, I prefer my jeans,” she toldThe Mirror.

The secrets to winning

Have you ever wondered the secrets to winning big in the lottery? Is it pure luck or is there a system to it…?

1. Avoid computer picks. It lowers your odds of winning.
2. On scratchcards, try buying 10 of one ticket instead of several different tickets.
3. Mix up your numbers.
4. Even it out – Don’t pick all odd or all even numbers.
5. Split from the crowd, so don’t play patterns.
6. Apparently, you should avoid anniversaries, birthday’s and dates.
7. Avoid playing winning numbers that have been drawn before, because every combination has a chance of coming up once every half a million drawings.

Explained: How likely am I to win the Millionaire Maker?

According to the EuroMillions website, there is a 1 in 1,900,000 chance that a player could win the Millionaire Maker game on a Tuesday.

This shrinks to 1 in approximately 2,250,000 if there is a rollover – meaning no one has won the previous draw’s jackpot.

On a Friday, it’s estimated that there is a 1 in 2,950,000 chance of winning a guaranteed £1million.

If there is a quadruple rollover, the odds could fall to 1 in 3,400,000.

Winning the game depends on the number of payslips sold so the odds fluctuate from game-to-game.

The odds can also change if there is a special event.

In March 2019, EuroMillions created40 UK millionairesin a one-off special draw.

Too much too young

It is illegal for any retailer to sell these goods to anyone under the age of 18 – and will apply to favourite games like Lotto and the EuroMillions.

Online sales of lottery tickets and scratchcards have already been banned – this came into force in April this year.

The new age restriction, which was exclusively revealed by The Sun, aims to make sure the lottery is not a “gateway to problem gambling”, minister for sport, tourism and heritage Nigel Huddleston previously said.

Gambling is illegal for under-18s, but until now anyone 16 or over has been able to play National Lottery games.

Winning £1m was sheer luck forJamie Heavens, who purchased a Millionaire Riches Scratchcardafter watching a customer in front of him do it.

Unexpected fortunes

An Australian man unknowingly won the lottery a month ago and has finally come forward to claim his £2.4million prize.

The ticket holder collected his winnings on Thursday after striking lucky in the Set for Life jackpot that was drawn on October 9.

He will now be paid £11,000 a month for the next 20 years.
