£6m share for UK jackpot winners

The £96 million-plus EuroMillions jackpot was shared between 16 winners from across Europe, with six lucky ticket-holders from the UK picking up a share of the top prize.

HOW ABOUT A £1M MAXIMUM PAYOUT IN UK

10.02.08, 12:25am

If £1M maximum payout then more people would get decent payouts and all winners put on a goverment database if claiming benefits it should be worked out how long it will last them before they can reclaim benefits, if spend like crazy then hard luck no benefits, it should cut the burden on the taxpayer and the NHS as the winnings send a lot of them crazy.

GOOD MORNING

Thanks for that
Yes and lets not forget the ludicrous things the money does go to, thanks to the stupidity of the quango allocating funds to idiotic schemes and causes, some of which are no benefit to this Country.

I also would be inclined to buy more tickets if it were going to worthwhile causes like education and NHS and not repairing old ships or olympics.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 16

09.02.08, 7:24am

That exactly as it should be, 16 people with comfortable windfalls.
96 million would be a positively indecent amount, The lottery is best when several people win.
As the lottery is said to be lacking support, its time Camelot altered the winning levels making it more attractive for the lower bands.
