  • Someone Just Won Three Billion Rand

    What would you do if you found out that you’d just won over R3 billion?

    I’d probably have to go and lie down in a dark room for a while with a towel over my eyes.

    Most South African lottery winners seem to want to keep their jobs regardless of their change in finances.

    This is highly frowned upon in the office, by the way. If you have the cash to live the holiday, then you have no excuse not to live the holiday. Be better.

    In the UK, the most recent winner of the EuroMillions will never have to work again.

    Over to the BBC:

    National Lottery operator Camelot said the £170,221,000 jackpot was won by a single ticket-holder on Tuesday.

    The ticket-holder is yet to be named and it is unknown if it is a single person, a family or a syndicate.

    The winning numbers picked were 7, 10, 15, 44 and 49, with 3 and 12 selected for the Lucky star numbers.

    If the winner is an individual, their new found fortune would earn them a place on the Sunday Times’ Rich List of the 1,000 wealthiest people living in the UK or with British business links.

    At the time of writing, that prize money amounts to a staggering R3,15 billion, which will make the ticket holder richer than Adele.

    The lucky ticket-holder has also beaten the previous record set by Colin and Chris Weir who became Britain’s richest lottery winners when they claimed £161m in 2011.

    Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: “One incredibly lucky ticket-holder has scooped tonight’s enormous £170m EuroMillions jackpot.

    “They are now the UK’s biggest ever winner. Players all across the country are urged to check their tickets as soon as possible.”

    This jackpot rolled over 22 consecutive times before it was won.

    Tickets for EuroMillions are sold in nine countries – the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Irish Republic, Portugal and Switzerland – with ticket-holders in all those countries trying to win a share of the same jackpot each week.

    If you’re still struggling to process how much R3,15 billion really is, here’s a handy video that can help you out.

    Meanwhile, someone, somewhere, is now one of Britain’s richest people, and they might not even know it yet.
