A UK ticket-holder has won tonight's £111 million EuroMillions jackpot.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “What amazing news, one UK winner has scooped the incredible £111M EuroMillions jackpot in tonight’s special Super Jackpot draw.
"This is the fourth UK jackpot win this year! Players are urged to check their tickets and give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky jackpot winner.
“National Lottery players make a huge difference to National Lottery Good Causes across the country raising, on average, around £30M every week. Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1bn has been distributed to date across the UK to help tackle the impact of coronavirus.”
Last month, ten bus drivers and their company secretary scooped £1million on the lottery.
The syndicate, Plan B, who all work for Stagecoach, will each bank £100,000 after their ticket matched the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code on April 16.
And they revealed that although they have big ideas for how to spend their winnings, none of them plan to retire as they love their jobs at the depot.
The drivers, whose ages range from 30 to 65, are all based in Carlisle and include: Kenneth Devlin, Sherry Haughin, Kevin Davidson, David Taylor, Darren Robson, Philip Dunn, Les Kirkaldy, Scott Janczuk, John Nunn and company secretary Susan Kilgour.
Among the items on their shopping lists are new cars, paying off mortgages, treating the family and splashing out on camper vans for a summer staycation.
Kevin, 50, said, “This is a life-changing sum of money for every single one of us and we all have different plans.
“Some of the syndicate initially thought they may retire – but then decided against it. We all love our jobs – some of us were even back in work the day we found out we had won.
"None of us would dream of cancelling our shifts – we think too much of our customers to do that and would never want to let anyone down.”
First on the agenda for the dad-of-three is treating his family as well as simply “enjoying life," he said.
Kevin, who has been a bus driver for 16 years, added: “This money will significantly change my life and just enable me to live more comfortably.
“It takes any financial worries away.”
