Winners of Euro Millions announced

I wish I was one of the winners of Friday’s Euro Millions.

The record-breaking £90 million jackpot was won by a couple from South Wales and a group of IT workers from Liverpool.

The couple from South Wales will pick up £45,570,835.50, which makes them the biggest lottery winners in this country.

Before this jackpot, the biggest British win was Angela Kelly who collected £35.4 million in August 2007.

The £45 million would rank you equal at 1,023rd in the Rich List.

And if you invested some of it in the bank and business it could make you £2 million a year in interest.

Meanwhile the odds of you having a fake £1 coin in your pocket are one in 40.

The treasury released the figures and said it represented £37 million of the £1.4 billion in the market.

After the £1 coin the second most forged denomination is the £20 note.

Finally David Haye is the first man from Great Britain since Lennox Lewis to receive a world heavyweight title.

He beat the 7ft giant Valuev on points and now joins other Brits such as Bruno, who have won heavyweight belts.
