The biggest UK lottery win
A couple from England won £56m on the European Euromillions lottery this week.
Nigel Page checked his numbers on the computer when he heard that there was a British winner in the draw. He was so surprised by his winning message that he went upstairs to wake his partner, Justine Laycock, to read it as well.
The family then went to eat bacon rolls for breakfast in their local supermarket. They plan to buy a larger car and a bigger house, and their children want a tarantula spider and a pony.
