Imagine having this amount of money in your bank account! The lucky winner, who is remaining anonymous, has become the UK’s 5th biggest winner of the National Lottery prize.

The claim will go through its usual validation process, including checks to ensure the game’s terms and conditions were met, Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: ‘What a weekend for one lucky player. ‘They have become the 5th biggest winner in UK National Lottery history and have a fortune which can make any of their dreams come true.

The eye-watering £122.5M win will put the winner in the top 1,000 on the Sunday Times rich list. It is the 2nd UK EuroMillions jackpot winner this year, after another lucky ticket-winner won the £39M prize in the draw on New Year’s Day. This lucky winner, may wish to celebrate with wine, flowers & balloons but now could afford a bottle of Krug Collection 1988 champagne, at £890 a bottle, and a Cullinan flower bouquet for the modest price of £20,000. While holiday bookings are still a bit touch-and-go for this summer, they could treat their partner to their own private island, in the Bahamas – costing £43M – which they could afford to buy, twice. The highest ever UK winner claimed a jackpot of £170M in October 2019, but chose to stay anonymous as well.

Colin Weir and wife Chris, from Largs in North Ayrshire, claimed the 2nd highest prize – £161M – in 2011. The couple set up the Weir Charitable Trust and made a donation to a community football club in Largs before Mr Weir’s death in 2019 after a short illness. Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Suffolk, took home more than £148M in 2012 and the 4th highest UK winner – who took home £123M – also anonymous. The record for the highest amount ever won on EuroMillions was set in February this year 2021 when a Swiss player took home €210M.

An amazing couple Frances and Patrick Connolly have given away about £60 million to help others around them to loved ones, charities and those in need during the covid19 pandemic.

Frances and Patrick, who lived in Hartlepool for 25 years, had said that their first priority was a list of around 50 friends and family to share their amazing fortune with following their big win on New Year’s Day 2019. Going against all the usual stereotypical champagne lifestyle that might be expected of huge jackpot winners, the pair have set up two charitable foundations: the Kathleen Graham Trust in Northern Ireland, where they are both from originally, and the PFC Trust in County Durham, where they now live.

The couples good deeds have included buying 1,000 or more presents for patients who will be in hospital on Christmas Day away from loved ones and handing out hundreds of tablets for people who found themselves isolated during the coronavirus lockdown so that they can still keep in touch and not feel so lonely.

Mrs Connolly is originally from Glebe in Co Tyrone and businessman Mr Connolly is from Belfast. The couples family consist of their three daughters and three grandchildren. Describing the past two years, Mrs Connolly said it had been an “absolutely manic whirlwind, and a total, total joyride from start to finish”.

The low-key happy couple, who were living in Moira, Co Down, at the time of their online “lucky dip” win, famously told how they had celebrated with a hug and a cup of tea, and vowed they would not become part of the “jet set” usual lifestyle.

Mrs Connolly said she had wanted to speak out now at the end of 2020 to help draw attention to the good work being done by so many people for charity during the pandemic. She said: “People need to be celebrated. Not me, not by any stretch of the imagination me, but by me talking drawing attention to the fact that, actually, we’re a nation of heroes without capes, up and down the country.”

Now living in a five-bedroom bungalow in County Durham – Set in five acres of land, with a tennis court and swimming pool – Mrs Connolly, 54, said they had turned down options to move to castles, as well as a grand stately homes one of which had 15-bedrooms and came with a village.

They also chose not to fly first class to New Zealand to visit one of their daughters, stating that they could have helped a young couple pay off a bit of their mortgage with the ticket price – instead opting for the comforts of business class.

Mrs Connolly said: “Patrick joked for years that if we ever won the lottery, he’d take away my mobile phone and never let me use the computer again because I’d give away the lot – But I’ve taken real joy from helping other people where we can espcially during such a tragic year for so many people.”

“We’ve no need for supercars, and I’m so proud that our daughters also drive second-hand cars, i would have been happy with a second hand Jaguar, as this is the car i have always wanted but we couldn’t find one so I treated myself to a brand new E-Pace Jaguar. It’s something that does the job, and there’s no need to be flash,” she said.

As well as running both charities, Mrs Connolly, retired from a career in education, helps her husband who owns a number of plastics manufacturing factories. When asked if the 56-year-old was not tempted to retire after the win, Mrs Connolly said: “He wants to keep people working. We’re too young to pack it in yet.”

On their list of family and friends to help were their daughters, Mrs Connolly’s three sisters and two brothers, and Mr Connolly’s three sisters. They also gave all their nieces and nephews money to buy their own homes.

Away from looking after relatives, the couple both flew into action when the pandemic rose to its peak, helping with much-needed supplies of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). During this time Mrs Connolly bought new machines for a sewing group in Northern Ireland when she heard they were making PPE for health workers on the Covid-19 frontline.

A couple from Crewe, England who won £6million back in 2016 on the National Lottery, put their thinking caps on with fellow jackpot winners to bring some early Christmas cheer to deserving carers during what has been a challenging 2020.

Wanting to show their appreciation for the ‘selfless’ actions of hard-working carers in the area; Michele and Kevin formed a Christmas hamper group with other Lottery winners from the comfort of their own homes due to current coronavirus restrictions to create more than 100 luxury hampers to show seasonal thanks. Packed with a range of goodies for carers from Age Concern Central Lancashire as a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for all of the carers’ tireless work throughout the COVID pandemic.

Michele said: “All the efforts and lengths these carers go to, so selflessly and the sacrifices they make every single day, to provide care and love, is incredible. I was absolutely thrilled to be involved in such a heart-warming project to say ‘thank you’ and show our appreciation for all they do”.

“I absolutely love Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed crafting the hampers. Everyone all needs a bit of festive cheer at the moment so it was fantastic to be able to help make Christmas arrive early!”

The winners, who under normal circumstances would normally be brought together by The National Lottery in the run-up to Christmas to help support various charities, adapted their thinking this year by creating a Whatsapp group so they could work from their own homes but share ideas and creations with each other as they made their hampers; Also joining the festive hamper making were some of the biggest region lottery winners, including Patricia and John Gill, from Warrington, who won £1M in 2015 and Sharon and Nigel Mather, from Bowdon in Cheshire, who won an amazing £12M in 2010.

The hampers, after being quarantined appropriately to ensure all required guidelines were adhered to, were delivered to Age Concern Central Lancashire’s Dementia Day Support Centres in Bamber Bridge and Fulwood Preston, aboard a fabulous festive truck.

A very lucky £105M winner made an interesting choice: He decided to keep working instead of living a luxurious lifestyle...

Months after his jackpot win, Steve still works as a builder – After his win the builder promised not to let his customers down: but for what reason?

The new multi-millionaires told the Mirror newspaper after their win that they would take a couple of weeks holiday but intend to continue working. Thomson called the Jackpot win ‘really overwhelming’, which is very understandable. Steve and his wife Lenka say the money is ‘too much’ for them. The couple want to do a lot of good things with the money and, in his own words, Steve is going to be ‘sensibly generous’, he goes on to say he was ‘on the verge of having a heart attack’ when he realised he had matched all seven numbers after his win!

Mr Steve Thomson and his wife, shopworker Lenka, 41, said they plan to buy a new home so their children 8-year-old daughter & two sons aged 10 and 15 can finally have their own bedrooms. He also said the couple had made no big purchases as yet, just window shopping – although he did admit he went and bought himself a new shirt and had a haircut for when he was presented with the cheque.

A friend and neighbour of the family, Ellie Wood, 42, said: ‘Steve and his wife are salt of the earth. I’m not surprised that Steve is continuing to finish off work he had already on his books – that’s just the type of guy he is. He’d never leave anyone in the lurch’.

‘I’m just a normal guy and I don’t want this to change me. I’m a man of my word and I promised I would complete the work so that’s what I will do.’ While he was working on a customers porch, a neighbour enquired about having a new front door fitted at their home too. ‘Steve was happy enough to take on new work and made an appointment to visit the man’s address,’ an onlooker said.

Lottery winner waited five weeks to tell family and friends of her £1 million win. Read more to find out why she hid such a big secret for so long.

One of the most amazing parts of winning the lottery is sharing your fortunate news, right? But not for Paula Williamson, who waited five weeks to inform her family and friends. She kept her £1,000,000 EuroMillions win to herself…but for what reason?

One of her sons was travelling for a month, She didn’t want to share the victorious news over the phone, so the millionaire decided to wait for him to come back home.

The EuroMillions player from Barnsley wanted to celebrate her win with both of her sons, but there was one person of course who was aware of her extreme fortune – her husband.

“I told Geoff because that would have been so tough keeping the winning news from him, but we both decided we wanted to surprise Jack and Ian at the same time”, Williamson continues with “Celebrating the winning moment is something we wanted to ensure we would remember forever as a family.”

The winning dinner lady from Barnsley is in no rush to spend her new-found fortune. She’s currently working at the Hill Primary Academy and doesn’t intend to leave her job anytime soon, Williamson will use most of her money to make her sons happy – She’s thinking about buying a new home for each of them to have as their own or as an investment in the future.

“I keep having to pinch myself and tell myself that I really am a millionaire. We are not going to rush into spending it all but will have a splash out” concluded the £1,000,000 winner.

A husband hid his £250,000 Health Lottery jackpot win for two days from his wife. Why? So he could surprise her on her day off.

Lottery winner Tim Carson, from Essex UK, landed a huge prize in The Health Lottery’s monthly Mega Raffle draw. When the 49-year-old realised he had won, he kept quiet. He didn’t tell his wife, Alison.

Why did he hide his win? He wanted to make a big reveal. He wanted to announce a plan to buy their dream home with the winnings as a present for her standing by him after he was forced to retire as a police officer through ill-health.

This happened just one week before they were looking to move home just to save money. Alison Carson, 51, was looking into moving out of her flat of 22 years and into a retirement village to save money.

Now, they’re going to use the money to finally buy their dream house, six years after their married.

Tim said: “We always said that we would buy a house if we won money with the lottery.

So this is my present to Alison as she has kept us both going. I am eternally grateful for her support since I retired.”

Former police officer Tim only told his dog, Harley, about the huge Health Lottery jackpot win.

Alison works at the Chelmsford High Street Marks and Spencer. Tim had to leave his job at the British Transport Police after suffering from an unexplained medical condition.

Alison burst into tears after Tim broke the incredible news. She recalled: “I can’t believe Tim managed to keep this a secret for two days. It’s truly the best news ever. I’m so excited!”

The Health Lottery operates as 12 local society lotteries, representing different areas of Great Britain. Regions take turns hosting draws to raise money for their local area. That means everyone gets an equal share of the pot to put towards good causes.

A Western Australian newsagent has had a lucky streak, selling two winning lottery tickets in just one week!

Is this is luckiest newsagents in Western Australia? It just might be after selling two winning lottery tickets within days of each other. What store is it, you ask? Well, it was the Carramar Lottery Centre and News, located in the suburbs.

Lottery-west spokesman James Mooney said it had been a particularly eventful week for WA players.

“This ticket from Carramar Lottery Centre and News in Morley was the second division one ticket sold at this retailer in the space of a week,” Mr Moone

“We are still in the first month of 2020 and have already welcomed six division one players to our winners’ room.”

Winner Number One

Last Saturday, a man from Perth bought a winning Saturday Lotto division one ticket. The West Australian lottery winner revealed the moment he discovered the true extent of his winnings.

“I went to my retailer to double-check my ticket, and when he told me my it was worth $1.6 million my gob hit the floor,” the man said.

He initially believe his prize had been split three-ways with two other winners. However, that was not the case. In fact, we won the full $1.6 million to himself.

The winner was planning to travel abroad with his partner. He talks about his plans after the win.

“When I thought I had won $500,000, I planned to upgrade our seats to business class, but now I’ll be going first,” he said.

Winner Number Two

Only a few days earlier, Carramar Lottery Centre and News had changed the life of another customer. It sold another winning Saturday Lotto division one ticket, with the lucky winner receiving more than $866,700.

Interestingly, a psychic told the winner previously that they would receive a $600,000 windfall! Coincidence?

Happy Staff

A worker at the store, Milan Gohil, sold two lucky tickets within one week.

“I saw a few new faces after the previous draw, so I hope their decision to try out our store will have a good impact for them.”

He made it clear it was a unique start to the year.

Some lucky Australians (or players of Welovetto) could sweep up to $45 million in Lotto winnings this week alone.

It seems like 2020 is going to be a very lucky year for Australian lottery games, with this week’s jackpots including $40 million Powerball and $5 million Oz Lotto.

A $5 million draw was last night. The next chances to win continue tomorrow with the $40 million Powerball, which is already drawing high levels of attention online.

Is the year of the Rat a lucky lottery Zodiac?

Since Chinese New Year has just passed, potential winners should consult their Chinese Zodiac signs before buying a ticket. According to Powerball’s data, players born in the year of the Rat have landed the most division one wins. 2020 is the year of the Rat and it is also the zodiac sign for people born in the years 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984 and 1996.

According to the zodiac tradition, people with the Rat sign enjoy saving and collecting, and are optimistic and energetic. Australia’s official lottery provider is The Lott. Bronwyn Spencer, a spokeswoman for The Lott, said the data from more than 400 registered division-one winners suggested the Rat’s optimism may be behind the wins.

She states: “We can’t say for sure why Rat sign players had such a winning streak…

“It may be because their optimistic and energetic nature encourages them to dream of that life-changing win,”

However Ms Spencer emphasised that Zodiac signs do not actually impact the lucky draws on this week.

“Whatever your Chinese Zodiac sign is, it’s important to remember that lottery games are entertaining games of chance…

“Every number on your ticket has an equal chance of being drawn” she said.

 400 division-one winners across Australian lottery games

Last year The Lott, released the findings of a new survey of more than 100 previous division-one winners. The majority of winners of Australian lotto used the money to safeguard for the future. For example, it found most winners celebrated by investing, helping out loved ones and buying a house.

“Each year, we crown about 400 division-one winners across our lottery games,” Lott spokeswoman Ally Ramsamy said.

“Many of these only discover their good fortune after we make contact with them…

“Not surprisingly, many division-one winners are stunned by the revelation and describe that winning feeling as one of complete and utter disbelief.”

Grants given by the National Lottery will help out hundreds of domestic violence victims who have struggled through hard times.

Over £3.7m in grant money from the National Lottery Community Fund has been shared between 116 charity and community projects across Northern Ireland. The funds will tackle issues affecting communities across Northern Ireland such as domestic violence and isolation.

Furthermore, children, who are forced to flee homes because of domestic violence, are among those who will benefit.

A few charities who have received a grant include:

  • Belfast and Lisburn Women’s Aid – £9,600 to provide “buddy back packs” for children.
  • Fermanagh Women’s Aid – £500,000 to help abuse victims get back on their feet.
  • Mid Ulster Women’s Aid – £8,000 grant to refurbish their facility.
  • Fermanagh Women’s Aid – £498,237 grant to fund its Safety and Wellbeing Support project over the next four years.

The grant allowed children to feel at home as soon as possible

Noelle Collins, from Belfast and Lisburn Women’s Aid, said:

“When children come to the refuge it is new and scary for them, and it’s really important that they start to feel like it’s home as soon as possible,”

She also though the ‘buddy back pack’ was a brilliant idea since it gave the children something that was theirs after most of them had to leave their belongings behind.

“We try and include things that will help them settle in, such as comfy PJs and some cuddly toys and a tooth brush.

“They can also use the bag as a school bag.”

Belfast and Lisburn Women’s Aid fill up 106 beds in their three refuges every night.

The money will provide safety and wellbeing support to victims

In 2018/19, over 400 children and 600 women stayed in Women’s Aid refuges across Northern Ireland.

All 116 grants range widely in value. The largest sum of £500,000 given to the Children’s Law Centre. The smallest award of £1,920 was given to the Whitecity Community Development Association in Belfast.

The list of recipients is huge, including youth clubs; senior citizens’ organisations; community groups; sports grounds; interface projects; GAA clubs; Orange Halls and an Irish language group.

Additionally, some organisations run projects that aim to improve mental health, tackle loneliness and reduce social isolation.

They have even been able to provide surf therapy!

Furthermore, £200,000 has been allocated to the Wave Project. This is a UK-wide organisation which provides “surf therapy” for children and young people who are vulnerable, isolated or struggling with mental health issues.

Over the next four years, a total of 240 young people will learn to surf off the coast of Portrush. They will also be given the chance to become surf mentors.

Kate Beggs from the National Lottery Community Fund also said:

“Whether it’s small pots of funding or larger grants, people are being brought together to make good things happen and change lives.”
