Euromillions Euro91m Lottery Jackpot Winners Revealed - 11-11-09

November 11 -  Last week nine lucky UK lottery players each found out what it feels like to be an instant multi-millionaire after their respective syndicates had the only two winning Euromillions lottery tickets that netted each more than €45.5 million, which will change their lives forever.

Of the nine winners Les Scadding and his wife Samantha Peachey-Scadding from south Wales were the luckiest as they only have to divide their half of the €91m Euromillions jackpot by two, whereas the syndicate of IT workers from Merseyside will have to split their winnings seven ways.

But that still means that each person will walk away with just over €6.5 million, not bad for a few pounds investment. This Euromillions jackpot is reportedly one of the largest in the UK and will no doubt be remembered for some time. As for the lucky winners, they now have pots of money.

Said the Welshman at a news conference, 'I'm lucky to be here today even without my winnings.' As to what the father of three from a previous marriage intends to do with his winnings, a new Range Rover Sport seems high on his list. 'I've never owned a new car, so I'm going to buy one now.'

As for what his wife intends to do with her share of the fortune, she is still playing her cards close to her chest. Scadding reportedly bought the winning lucky dip Euromillions lottery ticket because he forgot to take a list of his usual numbers with him when he bought his tickets. Talk about lucky.

The other winners, dubbed by the UK media as the 'The Magnificent Seven', comprise John Walsh, 57, James Bennett, 28, Sean Connor, 32, Alex Parry, 19, Emma Cartwright, 23, Ceri Scullion, 35 and Donna Rhodes, 39, all of whom used to work for Hewlett Packard in Liverpool. That is until they all resigned.
