Two British winners claim £90m Euromillions jackpot

 

 

 

Each winner from Friday night's Euromillions draw will scoop £45,570,835.50.

 

 

The two winners who yesterday claimed their half of the £90 million Euromillions jackpot will instantly become as wealthy as Cliff Richard, Jamie Oliver, Jenson Button and Sir Michael Caine.

The pair of ticketholders will receive more than £45.5 million each when their tickets have been fully validated.

The win is so big that it could earn them around £2 million per year in interest payments alone.

But the identities of the pair will not be released until the prizes have been paid out, according to the National Lottery.

"We are looking forward to welcoming these ticketholders to our millionaires' club which is already 2,300 strong," a spokesman said.

The winning numbers were 11, 19, 34, 43 and 45. The Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.

Sunday Times Rich List compiler Philip Beresford said this would be the first time a British lottery winner had appeared in the list.

He told the reporters: "It's extraordinary that in the years we've had the Lottery we haven't had anyone at this level."

Mr Beresford said the winners would be best advised to keep quiet about their good fortune - and try to get themselves sacked from their jobs so as not to rouse suspicion.

He said: "If they've got any sense they'll keep very, very quiet about it or go and live in Monaco, where they can afford to, where they'll just be one of 1,000-odd millionaires."

As for leaving their jobs he said: "You've got to plan it very carefully and do it over the months. Get yourself sacked, that would be the best way."

 

“欧洲百万”彩票昨日开出9000万英镑的巨额大奖，两名幸运中奖者将平分这笔巨款，他们顷刻间就会变得像克利夫•理查德、杰米•奥利弗、简森•巴顿和迈克尔•凯恩爵士一样富有。

在所持彩票完全被核后，这两位中奖者每人将获得超过4550万英镑的奖金。

奖金金额如此庞大，中奖者每年单利息收入就可达约200万英镑。

但据国家彩票局的消息，获奖者的身份要到奖金兑现后才可公开。

一名发言人说：“我们很期待这两位彩票持有人加入我们的百万富翁俱乐部，现在这一俱乐部的人数已达2300人。”

在上周五的开奖中，中奖号码是11，19，34，43和45，幸运星号码为5和9。

据《星期日泰晤士报》富翁榜编撰人菲利普•贝雷斯福德介绍，这是英国彩票中奖者首次跻身该榜。

他在接受记者采访时说：“英国两彩民获如此大奖，史无前例。”

贝雷斯福德先生说，中奖者最好保持沉默，并设法被解雇，这样才不会引起怀疑。

他说：“如果他们足够明智，那么就应该对这笔财富只字不提，或者去摩纳哥生活，在那里他们能承受得起高额生活成本，他们只是1000多个百万富翁中的一个。”

至于离开现在的工作，他建议称：“必须十分谨慎地计划并花上几个月的时间来处理这件事。让自己被解雇，这将是最好的办法。”
