Unknown Spaniard Loaded

Hectic how’s this? I guess you gotta be in it to win it. Now the problem is I personally KNOW someone who won the South African Lottery a few years back, so the law of averages (damn you LOA damn you!!!!!!) means there is slim to fuckall chance of me ever winning any kind of lotto.

…and she didn’t give me a red cent! Sheeesh!!!

Paris – A Spaniard late on Friday won the record jackpot of €126,231,764 in the Euro Millions lottery, smashing the record held for nearly four years by an Irish woman.

The as yet unnamed player, who could if he wanted buy two Airbus A-320 jets, was the only one to tick the five correct numbers (4, 23, 24, 29, 31) and two stars (8, 9) and win the huge jackpot drawn in Paris.

The previous record in the lottery, run by nine European countries, had been held since July 2005 by Dolores McNamara of Gallyowen near Limerick in southwest Ireland who took home €115,436,126 .

Friday’s winner beat odds of 76 million to one to win the equivalent of four years’ salary by David Beckham, the world’s best paid footballer.

Euro Millions, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, brings together France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Austria.
