Indeed, but it certainly could have happened to a more attractive couple.
I think they bear more than a passing resemblance to Paul Dano and Rachel Weisz personally.Just not quite as camera friendly, but they're hardly a frugly couple, are they?
In fact, with £40M I can't think of a more beautiful young woman
I love the way internet-heroes hurl abuse about people - I'm sure you've all got girlfriends and wives that make 'insert most beautiful woman you can think of here' look like Nora Batty

Nice to see its a Youg couple instead of most who seem to be one breath away from oblivion.
Heard a nice story on the radio the other day.
American couple who shared the biggest Lotto win to date $360million,after looking after their family,then set up a fund that take's medical teams all around the world to operate on children with cleft palette & face disfigurements & the trains doctors in that country!
2 years later they bought themselves a new car & an "English Pub" to run, amazing generosity.

And her dad has always loved Porsches. So she is buying him one, good on her.
I say good luck to them. ANyone who has a 10-year-old Focus though and wants to buy new Focus should be forced to give it all back
Could you really SPEND £45m though? Just think of the all the good you could do for other people less fortunate than yourself. I could easily fill my days thinking of some. before toddling off to my 10-car garage to polish one of the *supercars*.

Made me smile when the News Reporter said they were going to buy a new washing machine - I suspect the new house they buy will have one already.
Cannot understand the going public bit but well done and good luck to them

She wants an Aston, well I am sure Stratstone Derby have already sent a car round for her to try.

An Aston is too obvious and good value for money. You're never going to get through 40m quid that way.
I'd want something like a Bristol Fighter or a Caterham RST-V8. Or both.
Or 7 Bristol Fighters, each a different shade of lime green. I'd line them up on my driveway like a Pantone colour chart.

Has your cousin phoned the DM yet?
No he doesn't know them well but has 'seen them around ' where they live is a small town. No doubt they will be in a hotel somewhere within a twenty mile radius. Very much doubt they will ever properly return home due to fear of retributions. Best of luck to them
I'd be straight in the car, on my way to part-ex the clio in for http://pistonheads.com/sales/3610741.htm

Good on them! Although I'd much rather it was me 
.
Makes a change to see somebody a similar age to myself winning such a hugh amount and actually saying they're going to enjoy the money, as opposed to the crap you usually here from the older winners like "it's not going to change our lives"... Yeah, course it's not
.
From the pictures/interview they look to be a decent couple aswell, not scum of the earth which is nice.

I'd probably do my bit for charity... to make me feel better about the money spent on coke, hookers etc. lost in espace said:

That is a good idea. If we had been fortunate enough to win the gigantic one from a few months back, we would have done quite a few things like that.The Christmas Toy Run 2012 would have been interesting...I hear that the civilian version of these
can carry a lot of toys!

I hope it works out well for them.I'd be straight in the car, on my way to part-ex the clio in for http://pistonheads.com/sales/3610741.htm
On that advert, if you are selling a car for £680,000, you really shouldn't use camera-phone pictures for it.
Nice choice though.

Yes, pretty easily. Even without the help of my wife.And I'm happy to put your (or anyone else's) money where my mouth is.
To reiterate on the OP, it;s a shame there are so many haters - clearly a lot of mean and discontented little lives out there - I say good luck to the two of them and I hope brings them happiness.

You don't spend the £45M, you spend the interest on it and pass the capital on to your kids in the form of a family trust fund ( that's the way I'd do it anyway )
Of course at this point I must wheel out the standard PH retort to this sort of question; spend £44,999,000 on fast cars, coke and hookers and waste the rest.

How truly f
king stupid do you have to be to tell everyone though?
They will be advised by someone appointed by Camelot, Camelot has a vested interest towards publicity to help ticket sales, I believe the line would be that if you go public you control the first round of publicity.king stupid do you have to be to tell everyone though?Unless you're already reasonably wealthy it must be impossible to both enjoy and hide a lottery win and keep in contact with your family and current social circle, so I would tend to agree with that line.
