[@thatbwoy]

I put the lottery every week and only ever get 1 number sometimes none, but to get all 6 must be 1 of the best feelings in the world I know people say money don't make you happy "which is true" but it just takes all the worries of debt away. I am seriously happy for this guy deserves it . :-)

[@Nocturnal_Fae]

@88genesis88 Hey, i was crying and feeling so happy for them, i was wondering, why am i crying now.. but then i read your comment and i thought, that's good, i am not the only one so i am not a weirdo! Bless them and bless you too, and blessing to everyone in the world! May every beautiful wish to come true for all of you. Thank you so much, much love.

[@SadiraJones]

I'm sooo happy for them. Thank you for posting this!

[@scottyb0102]

Fantastic video.. Nice to see a genuine loverly couple winning the lottery.. Well done to you both and well deserved... :)

[@RGPlufc]

Im going to win one day, had a feeling since i first noticed the lottery when i was about five, been close a few times since i turned 16 a few years back, the closest i been was the 4 main numbers on the euro an the other main number and the two lucky stars were next doors with the jackpot at 80 mill and no one won that week but won around £90 i think which aint bad, never one anything since tho for half a year an i spend over a £10 every week on it. I will win tho no matter how long it takes.

[@computerguru999]

I was crying, too, aren't they cute, I want to win too. I want to feel that good. I want to feel abundance.

[@comeonyoubluebirds4007]

I prefer to see videos like these when the winners are happy than the ones when their just sat their as if nothing has happened.

[@charlieisaacs1]

i am glad that they won and i hope they live there dreams.

[@DontRushPerfection]

That was beautiful...Im going to win next!

[@misterenglish9193]

I would need a new pair of pants if all 6 numbers came up :D

[@Sheety33]

At the end it sounds like they had a really high interest rate! Great to see a happy couple like that win.

[@jvn68]

Well done Alex,a very sympathetic guy.Spend and enjoy,but most of all good health.

[@notguilty80]

i hope they are still together today and happy ever after.

[@prnfl]

early forties?

[@sameerhobenzy5428]

Good luck to them we all deserve some good luck , they seem grounded and will never have to worry about money again , should they invest wisely , good luck for the future

[@sameerhobenzy5428]

Good luck to them we all deserve some good luck , they seem grounded and will never have to worry about money again , should they invest wisely ,

[@setag1]

This made me smile... Happy 4 u mate!

[@TarotprzyKawie]

I'm really really really Happy for them! They are really nice couple :)

[@Marconis4]

Seems like a hell of a family to win, good people. Well done and congratulations. I am 20 and just really got into MegaMillions. I play $1 a week, nothing crazy obviously but it's really fun on Friday's or Tuesday's to watch the balls drop and get that little rush, even though I know I will probably never see a jackpot drawing. A dollar and a dream, yeah?

[@powerfulsingh]

well deserved winners, emotional background of cancer, watched this many times, its so life changing for these couples its like having a new baby, i been trying abit too much but no result :( maybe isnt written in the stars for some.

[@jimmyrustle7776]

they need to do a follow up on these guys.

[@scotsguy77]

On this night this couple were lucky. Good luck to them. They look as If they will give a few quid to others. I hope they're enjoying life.

[@bojan34]

Good people! Good luck to them!

[@000Sybil]

I wish you all to win

[@CCSofChocolatesvill]

I'd love to see how they spent their money.

[@mrhassell1000]

Where's Alex? Gone to be sick!! Everyone starts laughing LOL

[@yokoshima1229]

wish everyone win Million of dollars

[@craz006]

@TroyDouglas917 yeah everything worked out fine :-) at first we got alot of begging letters. some of them were so obviously fake they were hilarious lol there was one woman who sent us a house brochure and circled the one she wanted lol we just ignored the letters and things eventually calmed down. but my mum and dad did do some work for charity. :-)

[@eagles7575]

This is a classic example of all the good get their payment in life. Do go and you will be rewarded. :D Congratz guys.

[@imprezaver4]

Must've lived in hard ship for a certain period over the years. No worries, folks... All your hard work over the years has finally pay off...

[@TarotprzyKawie]

Congrats, really happy for You :)

[@AcashasGarden]

God Bless your Mum, I know she is an angel now. That being said they do seem deserving and not that one person is more deserving than another it is good to see people who aren't already millionaires win, or people that you know will spend it all on drugs in 5 years.

[@libertypower1]

amazing feeling that would be

[@lastplacewin]

Yes but he did it with no intention of receiving something in return. But eventually, be it a day or a decade, everything comes together.

[@Mew3692002]

Congrats to the winners!

[@amaraamara100]

Lovely story

[@PMolk]

Did they have to wait 5 days for the cheque to clear? :D Or did they pay £10 for a fast-clearance?

[@vesorah]

@doitanywayz actually it does buy happiness when u can do things for ppl and see the expression on their faces, and im talking about donating something to an animal charity or helping a family's who just lost their home to fire and ur not doing it with a tv cam around. believe me , that feels absolutely superrrrrrrrr.

[@AcidDaBomb]

That's insane 840 quid a DAY!!!!!!! I'd take 1-2 million spuglre and put the rest in a savings account to earn interest!!! Even if I spent 1-2 million it'd go down to about what 650-700 quid? You'd have an awesome house, nice car, etc and still be set!

[@XXXIndognito]

Bank Of Scotland? Nooooo! Don't give it to them!!! Lovely couple, glad they won it.

[@Skodaoctavia.]

I love this guy

[@musclguy39]

Such a nice couple, they deserve it! Needless to say I wish it was me, but we can't have everything, can we? OH, and Alex, buy your wife some hankies! :)

[@eckankar7756]

I know Lottery winners in Canada get the full lump sum with no taxes, is that also true in the UK? American takes half of the win win off the top if you want cash then taxes a third again

[@atomant1100]

4:05 kiss on the lips to another woman you smart smart man

[@doitanywayz]

what a great guy he must be

[@TroyDouglas917]

When a woman in Limerick, Ireland won over €100 million, local criminal gangs planned to kidnap some of her family for ransom. I don't why anyone would go public with a win. It just makes you a target for con men and chancers. A lottery winner in the US was murdered a few months back by people he thought were his friends.

[@TroyDouglas917]

Yes, a deserving winner.

[@LucaPed94]

At 2:13 Susan's best friend is crying not because shes happy that her friend won but because shes def getting at least 100G's lol.

[@nasir2075]

well if this is real story than that was the family deserd for the win,,....i also happy that they won

[@louislou32]

Good on u m8 all the best

[@kaskamanda]

im glad for them =)

[@jaymac4u]

My dads friend won 10Million out here in the California Lottery and the thing I figured out is U have to be patient and persistant when playing the lottery. My dads friend played 10 dollars twice a week and years later BOOM! He's a winner. I figure people with money always wiin the lottery because people with money always PLAY the lottery. Broke people play when they can, Rich people play all they can lol

[@94dearnaley]

no way did he throw up! hahahaha

[@BenjyBBJR]

Very cool.

[@Luvmypets123]

God Bless You.

[@AlistairDsilva]

God Bless them :)

[@onebigkahuna69]

I think i would throwup too.?lol Its something that he couldn't fathom until the ticket is actually validated.

[@sprigs08]

well id love to know how that feels..he he..at least it went to someone that deserves it !!! unlike some of the lotto winners.. no names mentioned !!!

[@codywaynelouis]

soo beautiful

[@aydinamol1]

Good for them

[@clarrisina]

there always seems to be one winner. How strange is that

[@scottt923]

Just shows you that money rules the world.

[@21Rodge]

Nice one buddy

[@ray217bot]

man I am happy for them, lifes a F******** lottery we play that, fare cop to the working class, at least he will not worry on the interest on his mortgage. 300k plus in interest. funny guy i'de be funny if i won that lol

[@TroyDouglas917]

@fullm3tal90 I find it's rich people who always win. They always have their own business and several houses, it's never some homeless guy down to his last dime.

[@stayalive1017]

it's a shame that only a few people get to be that happy. i hate this system so fucking much

[@aaokiwan]

I'd make sure to take a clean pair of underware...heh

[@666briggs]

fuk sake i need to win so fukin bad sik of this 5 days a week for peanuts shit

[@666briggs]

8 million! i cant believe im gonna die going to work 5 days a week for the rest of my life never being able to do the things i wanna do.

[@SinhCung]

In America, you have to pay the freaking taxes.

[@ShazGreenock]

@prisonson eh? That's a Scottish accent

[@TroyDouglas917]

It must be like having your stomach removed and then being shown the tastiest food in the world.

[@TroyDouglas917]

@craz006 Wow, lucky you. Did everything work out okay for your parents after they won? Did they get any hassle from the public like begging letters, etc.?

[@TroyDouglas917]

@tuffythetiger No actually, poor people aren't greedy, when they get money they just know what it's like to have no money and they don't want to feel that again. They can only afford the essentials and have to careful what they spend it on. Rich people are notoriously cheap and greedy and they especially hate paying taxes.

[@Mali.D]

5:44 -sparkley eyes- :[

[@TroyDouglas917]

I noticed that too. She probably does that with all the millionaires to see if she has a shot with them! He he.

[@navyman4]

The Job of letting them know must SUUUUCK! i'd be like, what about ME????

[@lastplacewin]

How about, rather than being a bitter and resentful waste of space, you be happy for them. It's also quite presumptuous that you think they've had an easy-ish life. They look like battlers to me, and how do you not know that they haven't had their fair share of health problems?

[@Mali.D]

5:44

[@ricardomaritza1]

they wouldnt spend it because of the interest every year most be a bomb load
