I read this today .....is it genuine
what if she and hubby really did have the ticket
OMG :shock:

thing is what would you do with all that money
I would love to set up a dedicated Genealogy research centre
or maybe just sod off round the world!

How much money is too much money!

5 million would do me nicely!
:P

Accordinng to the 'latest headlines' Camelot claim to have paid out the winner's jackpot, but will not confirm
whether a winning ticket was produced.

Apparently in the region 1,000 people claimed to have lost their tickets!!
