Secrets of lottery winners revealed

When buying a lottery ticket, be it for the EuroMillions or even a smaller jackpot, most of us make plans on what we would do with all that money if we won. It is often assumed that big lottery winners spend a good chunk of their money on cars, holidays and clothes. However, a book about lottery winners has revealed the more unconventional spends of big money winners such as a whiskey factor, a flock of sheep, the purchase of the title ‘Lady’, a hair salon and more.

The book, titled We Won the Lottery by Danny Buckland features unusual stories of lottery winners and includes stories like that of Sarah Cockings who was 21 when she won a massive £3.4 million jackpot and treated her two sisters to breast enlargements.

A spokesman for the National Lottery said: “Everyone thinks that winners automatically splash out on designer clothes and fast cars, but it isn't always the case. Winning the jackpot allows winners to follow their dreams whether it is setting up a stud farm, getting Diarmuid Gavin to design your garden or collecting Action Men. People who win the lottery are everyday people and in most cases they will splash out on something they have dreamed of or aspired to one day own.”

The book claims that one in four winners will spend a large part of their lottery jackpot winnings on cosmetic surgery either for themselves, relatives or a friend. The top surgical procedures include breast enlargements, liposuction, eye laser treatment and teeth whitening.

Camelot has revealed that average lottery winners take their time to adjust to their lives gradually and instead of a Ferrari or an Aston Martin, would probably by a practical luxury car.

If you’ve contemplated winning a huge lottery, today is your chance to make that dream come true. The EuroMillions lottery has had a double rollover over the past two weeks and is now worth a whopping £40 million. With a ticket priced as low as £2 per lottery card, you really wouldn’t want to miss out.
