Les Scadding from Caerleon in Wales won over £45 million in the lottery. The truck driver had already been unemployed for almost a year.
Scadding fulfilled yet another dream: he became the main shareholder of Newport County Football Club after investing some of his money. A case of brazen fraud, on the other hand, occurred in northern Thailand, where a 66-year-old man brought to 1000 euros in a supposed lottery win. The other half of the Eurojackpot was cleared by a syndicate from Liverpool.
