EuroMillions: Lottery Jackpot Winners 'Tickled Pink'

Would you or wouldn't you go public after winning Europe's biggest lottery jackpot?
A couple from Ayrshire's revealed that they are the winners of the one hundred and sixty one million pound prize.
NOTE: Sky's Rona Dougall's report contains some flash photography.

I will never ever understand why people choose to go public. I would just quit everything and leave the country for about 3 months until everything dies down.

[@carlwebber3103]

Nice to see a lovely couple win it. I wish them all the best with their money :)

[@tedoneilclark4710]

I must be the only person in the world who didn't know that Colin had passed away. Really I just found out today when the jackpot winners were on the news with lotto promotions.

[@obadets3]

Me and my fiance need a camera to record our wedding and would really like a good quality one. Could we borrow yours?

[@haruspex1-50]

[@jasonlajoie]

@CommonSenseBlokeiam There isn't enough time to print out millions of lottery tickets for one person even if you employed others to stand all day at a shop having them printed out all day. It's just not physically possible or it would have been done by now.

@NinaHoney3 Je demandais la mise de départ et non le gain final mais merci quand-même pour la précision.

Yay them👏👏 I’m next in the USA 🇺🇸

[@up4itgal]

@garyminion Couldn't agree more. The Irish also appear to be disproportionately lucky!

[@il0vep0neys]

I hear the thrase "you know" like 20,000 times... wow

[@theequalizer3330]

I heard it 20.001 times, go back and count again.

[@OtakuLogan2017]

RIP Colin Weir.

[@mitigiant5328]

I dont understand what is going on. Is this real?

[@D32GhosT]

@RogerHerhard not so sure

[@DavidL1986]

they probably do but dont go public. Or your only paying attention to the old winners. I remember one girl won 7m on euromillions, another girl recently won 1.6m on the lottery. also older ppl probably play the lottery more

[@Alladin671]

@MultiBrunolucas I'm sorry, my reply was to someone else, so it wouldn't have made much sense in response to your comment. Did you really have to get so hostile though?

[@DavidL1986]

well said Always pisses me off how people feel the need to say how people should spend THEIR lottery win. Or if they 'deserve' it. As far as im concerned, as soon as someone parts with their £2, they are entitled to it as much as the next person (assuming they are legally allowed to buy it)

[@dshero97]

Never, as it would attract robbers, and your friends would be asking you for money

[@RogerHerhard]

they can both afford liposuction now

[@SA-nr6yo]

😲

[@deanhart5184]

Jealous

[@MrRossT1]

@garyminion Maybe cause the groups you mention do not play the lottery. 2 pounds for food, or for a piece of paper. Frankly if I'm hungry, I pick the food! :)

[@jetunknownactor]

@CommonSenseBlokeiam it's the euromillions => 5 numbers of 50 and 2 stars of 11 :-) chanses are smaller :-) i think it was 1 in 73 million :-)

[@mahadibrahim8836]

I'm starting to notice alot of northerners, scots who wins jackpot often london dont have luck

[@fazer990]

No way would I go public. You'd get stopped on the street, sent letters, with people pleading for money, and saying that they're really poor, and you'd be backed into a corner. Keep it to yourself, family and close friends.

[@leo85nardo1]

congrats :D :D :D

[@ivpok1234]

Dreams cam true ;)

[@MrSanjee80]

I deserve all that money :-(

[@twin40worty]

@davidhaythornthwaite yes correct lol

[@mahaman]

stop hating

[@Ninalicious]

@elquidam44 Ah ok! I misread you sorry and Oh, I have no idea! Desolee!

[@dysesthesiaAethiopi1]

Could of had 161 millionaires but these evil bastards want us to believe gross dis-proportionality should be the norm.

[@kutubu1]

from now on they need bodygards

[@coolbluezzzz]

Its obvious that when you have had time to think about what you are going to do with the money you will be buying burger king

[@jonny5777]

why are these sky news things always shit resolution?!?

[@magsb3]

twin40worty I'm sure that they know all that. You make decisions on what things you are going to address in your life... so let them have the same option. Just because you are slim does not mean it is easy for others to be so. You have had other things more important things to deal with... and maybe they have too. Maybe one day you will be overweight and then you will understand. Life's funny that way ... sometimes it comes back and bites you in the butt.

[@Alladin671]

@MultiBrunolucas that's the way it should be, taxing the rich...... These are ordinary people who have no idea the kind of wealth they have just adopted (daily interest of £30,876 in a standard rate savings account of 7% APR) . If you took away 90% of this money from them, they would still be left with £16,100,000 which is still more than either of them will ever need. Being Scottish, almost all of this money will go to good causes and charity.

[@purplepantha11]

@RogerHerhard u got that right lol xoxo

[@DavidL1986]

i worry about them going public tho. obviously you and me will do nothing - but who knows what weirdos there are in a country of 60 million peopel

[@JOTTABYTE]

Because most of the players are middle class couples.

[@martheoloui8831]

J'ai été anarque par un certain ade goodchild. Je veux mon argent ?

[@siegfriedstreit979]

Bitte helfen Sie mir ich brauche dringend Geld!

[@magsb3]

Good luck to them... I do hope their life changes for the good and does not become a horror story. and to twin40worty....... what Jim do you have in mind? Maybe a dictionary might be useful to you. You don't need a lottery win to afford one. I suppose you are a perfect human specimen?

[@carlhtnheaton]

Lucky bastards. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@Ninalicious]

@elquidam44 £161 million, about $260 million!!!

[@twin40worty]

@magsb3 my spelling is not great ive had more important things to worry about. but im not over weight there not over weight there obese the human body is not meant to carry that amount of weight around its simple dont eat and you want get fat. they are on there way to heart attacks hip replacements and early deaths. this all may sound harsh but loosing weight may save there lives they say they want to have fun, what fun are they going to have, i bet they couldnt even walk a hundred yards

[@danismore894]

just wanna get back that money i was spend of lottrey ticket then never ever not paly that shit paly its all lie

[@Walkman0007]

I only join in when the pot is more then 50millions euros ;) and onlly 2 euro play.... save play.... and even I can win the big one..... the same as a guy who spends 50 euros every week

[@badqct9]

but the guy who spends 50 euros has better odds of winnng....

[@wladosu]

she is navy seal, or just a seal....juck

[@corsegerspwnd]

in 1 year they divorce and the guy gets a golddigger and teh wife gets a boytoy. FUCK MONEY lol

[@misterenglish9193]

she looks like Peter Griffin from Family Guy

[@twin40worty]

there making mistakes already. worse thing you could of done is go public, now every body no what you look like, doesnt the lottery advise people what to do and they thought go public. what they should of done is claimed the money but not told any one.and told there family in a couple of months time. now there not safe they gota get away from were they are. theres no way i would of gone public. at least now they can join a jim and change there diet

[@karatebuff]

"SO THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS GLUTTONY ATTRACTS GREAT PROSPERITY " THINK ABOUT IT?

[@legandrydirk]

He used to do the bins in Largs,hardly middle class is it?Good bloke he gave the SNP a lot off money,he used to be a counseller

[@sandx123]

Now they have enough money for plastic surgery and liposuction
