vIndianz.com (17 Feb, 2010) — London: A British couple – Nigel Page and his partner Justine Laycock – won a 56 million-pound (approximately $88 million or Rs 4000 million) EuroMillions lottery, according to Daily Mail on Tuesday.
Laycock, 41, is a senior sales negotiator for an estate agent and Page, 43, runs a property maintenance business.
If the couple deposits the amount in a bank, they will make around 47,000 pounds a week in interest.
The prize would make the couple among some of the wealthiest in the country, according to the Sunday Times Rich List 2009, the Guardian reported on its web site.
According to the list in April, the couple would become wealthier than Van Morrison (50 million pounds), Kylie Minogue (35 million), and Michael Caine (45 million) as well as Hugh Grant, Jenson Button and Jamie Oliver — all reported to be individually worth about 40 million pounds.
Friday’s 113-million pound Euromillions jackpot was shared by two tickets, the other ticket being bought in Spain. The jackpot surpasses the 91 million pounds paid last November that was shared between two tickets.
