Was not me

What I dont understand is the estimated jackpot for fri and yesterday was £166 (I assume the cap of 185m euros met) so how can it now be £161m. Not that I would complain mind

Yeah, know what you mean. If I bought a ticket thinking the jackpot was £166M and only won £161M I'd be really hacked off ....

The prize is in Euros and capped at €185m so with the weakening Euro, the winnings have gone down by $5m in a week!

Still with £161m you could do a lot with that! I'd still go to work, but just not give a **** so I can p!ss off the management until they sack me. It's not like I'll need a reference again!

If I won that there'd be a McLaren F1 outside my home within the month

I think I'd still keep my job too.

Surely she doesn't need a winning lottery ticket as an excuse?

Had to agree with one of the comments under the Sky News item on this ...

I really, really hope it's not the ex-wife ...
Amen to that!

The couple from Falkirk have said they're going to buy their kids a house each, what will they do with the remaining £161,652,000 ?

It says they colelcted in Falkirk but are from Ayrshire. Falkirk is in Stirlingshire so not sure there.

Also, they are Colin & Chris. I'm still not sure who is who.

It's the last thing I'd do either.

Move, and come up with a plausable reason why you've just moved to a very expensive area.
