Scots couple win £161m jackpot
Li aqui que "Europe's biggest Lottery winners have been unveiled by Camelot. Husband and wife Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in Ayrshire, scooped £161 million in Tuesday's EuroMillions draw. The winning numbers were 17, 19, 38, 42 and 45, and the Lucky Stars were 9 and 10. The couple banked the entire jackpot after several rollovers - a total of £161,653,000. The couple, who have been married for 30 years and have two children, were unveiled as the winners at the Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa in Polmont, near Falkirk. Mr Weir, 64, who has worked as a TV cameraman and studio manager for 23 years, said: "When we first realised we had won, it felt like a dream. Everything went into slow motion. But it feels like a good thing; something we should not to be afraid of but for us to enjoy with the children." Mrs Weir, 55, a psychiatric nurse, said the couple were having a normal night in front of the TV on Tuesday evening until she checked the EuroMillions result on Teletext at around midnight. She said: "We had bought five Lucky Dips, as the jackpot was now so big. I started circling the numbers I had matched but wasn't doing very well. Then on the fifth line, all the circles seemed to join up. "I had all of them but couldn't believe what I was seeing. I checked them three or four times before going back downstairs to find Colin. He knew immediately by my face and tone that something was up." "After checking many times together, the news gradually hit us. The Camelot line was closed for the night but we couldn't sleep. We sat up all night and saw dawn come round the next morning. "We were tickled pink. I even had a glass of white wine, which is something I normally only do at Christmas. It really is unbelievable."
