WE WON THE LOTTERY THEN GAVE WINNINGS AWAY BY MAKING PALS RICH & FLUSHING CASH DOWN THE LOO AFTER FIVE BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE’

A £115million jackpot is probably enough to not just change your life, but the lives of everyone you’ve ever cared about too.

Which is probably why Frances and Patrick Connolly decided to give over half of their winnings to 175 people.

“We won £114,969,775.70 and we have given away more than half,” Frances said last year.

“That’s £60million-worth of love. And the thing that makes me even happier is that every single person we gave money to has passed some of it on to other people. I can’t think of a day since winning the Lottery that I haven’t smiled.”

PIE ROLLER

They say money can’t buy you love – and it appears it can’t buy you a decent Cornish pasty in Scotland either.

Lottery jackpot winner Adrian Bayford has quit his home in Scotland — because he missed the iconic pasties and the English pub.

The ex-postie, 49, had relocated north of the border, having abandoned his £12million English country estate after a string of failed romances.

But pals say the friendly millionaire — who scooped £148million in 2012 — got fed up with the fancy Scottish pies and neeps and tatties.

The final straw came when lockdown ended and the dad-of-two realised how much he was missing English pubs — with Scottish drinking focused on bars and hotels.

Friends said he was so bored without a decent village boozer he took up archery.

Pals thought his country pile in Cambridgeshire had been sold, when in fact he had taken it off the market and moved back in.
