I know, I meant £ not €...duh!!!! Just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary as well!!! Good for them!

I;m so pleased for them, mind you if that was me l would not have had the publicity. Every scrotbag in the world will be sending a begging letter with their sob story.

I thought that! Especially here in Bolton, full of scrubbers!

Just penning a begging letter as I speak!

It would have been lovelier if it had been me.

How lovely, they seem really down to earth as well!

Although he did say it wouldn't change him or his life...which begs the question, what's the point of doing it then!!! Lol! Of course it'll change you!!!

My thoughts exactly, but good luck to them.

I'd be happy with a 25th of that!

To say it won't change you is abit daft though isn't it...it has to, you'd have all sorts of odd balls hanging round!!

How absolutely wonderful and to pensioners too

So pleased for them - they seem like a really nice couple.

I think so LL 50 years married and he's finally made her rich!

He enjoys his allotment and was there tending to his Onions the following day...giving it time to sink in I guess!!

Apparently the girl in the shop told him to tuck his ticket away, go home as quickly as possible and ring Camelot! I don't think he realised just what getting all 7 numbers meant at first!

I love it when it's pensioners

Well, at least they'll be able to go for the deluxe model of the Stannar stairlift now, not worry about hanging out the Tena Ladies on the line to dry, and cancel that Axa Sunlife Over-50s plan without having to send back the attractive parker pen or clock radio. There is a god.

Wonderful. They`re going to have a very comfortable life and make sure their family do too.
I`m very happy for them.

That's actually given me a lump in my throat

Absolutely wonderful that for the rest of their lives, they are now never going to want for anything. No worries about their pension or how they are going to manage. No worries about what they might have to sell if either of them have to go into a home. A lovely story

Story

I used to work at the 'M' Store where he bought the ticket (for 6.5 years)

You can bet Morrisons will be milking the publicity for all it's worth! Lol! Worst Company I have ever worked for...

yeah thats true I suppose....the kids bit I mean NOT the strange bit,
I just remember seeing a documentary about lottery winners and quite a few of them said they were no happier AFTER winning in fact life got a whole lot more complicated, and a few even wished it had never happened,
they lost ALL or most of their close friends, cause some friends didnt come round anymore in case they thought they were after their money, other friends EXPECTED a handout, the friends started to fall out with each other,(how come he bought YOU that car but he only bought ME this one and I have known him longer than you? etc etc)
everytime he (one guy in particular)went out all his friends didnt think they needed to buy a drink, others wouldnt LET him buy them a drink, etc etc..... nope that kind of money can be more trouble than its actually worth

I read somewhere, paper or internet that one of his ambitions was to go to South America, Rio de Jeniro to be precise! Hope they get to have some good times. They look like a nice little couple, bet they have worked hard all their live, what a lovely little Brucey after all those years

'Tis Linds...nice when it's gone to someone who's worked hard rather than idiots like that Carroll fella who won the Lottery years back....

After the first 25 you're home and hosed. It took its' toll though

What is the point in winning it, if it's not going to change your life?
Give it me then, and let it change mine!

That's what i think Demantoid, if you're not going to let it change you, why bloody do it!

I'd be such a snob! All those folks who've pissed me off over the years would know about it alright!

Hope you're ok lovely!

Cheers, Devil
I don't think it would change me much as a person, but it would sure change my lifestyle!
