Money Makes Money

The winner of a £17,804,197.80 EuroMillions jackpot from the 14 April Easter draw, is already a multi-millionaire. And that’s all the information there is about this single-jackpot winner. The Sun newspaper gave tips on how to spot a new millionaire living next door, eg. the shining Bentley on the drive, but this winner presumably already has all that and so can safely remain anonymous.

Poetry to his ears

Car paint sprayer Patrick Alleyne won £62,000 on the lottery as part of a work’s syndicate of 19 players based at Tabbitt Ltd in Henley who won £1.2 million on Lotto. Patrick is an unpublished poet, but he is hoping to use some of his money to visit his brother in Melbourne. The syndicate’s ticket was bought at J Guris newsagent in Wokingham Road, Earley, near Reading.
