It doesn't look like anyone has, Bednobs. Either that, or they don't want to say so.

I haven't but a member of the pool team I used to play with won the jackpot as part of a family syndicate. His share was just over £1.3m. Then my sister in law, niece and a couple of family friends were among a syndicate of care home workers who won the £1m prize on the Euromillions. They had about £40,000 each.

The only big winners I know of are the government and those who set it up in the first place.

hopefully I can say yes to your question tomorrow x

no, but anyone who has probably did it on the basis of my ticket money. The office syndicate I belonged to never won anything more than a fiver and a couple of tens, and that very seldom; our failures beat the laws of probability on a regular basis.

no, no longer do it...

A young girl who was temping at our office won 90k. Needless to say we never saw her again.
