Record-breaking EuroMillions winners jet to Canaries – July 18th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

A couple from the Scottish marina town of Largs came forward last week to reveal themselves as the winners of the largest ever EuroMillions lottery jackpot prize.

Chris and Colin Weir have decided to start spending their €185 million of newfound cash on a trip to Lanzarote in the sunny Canary Islands.

The couple are said to have boarded a flight to Arrecife on a Thomas Cook plane, flying in economy class as part of their package getaway.

However, they did not go unnoticed among the crowd for long, with passengers recognising Britain’s newest additions to the Sunday Times Rich List as they enjoyed their journey south.

This is likely to be the first of many trips for the Weirs, who have said they are planning to spend their lotto winnings on seeing Australia and the Far East and spend time watching the football in Barcelona.

Until the Weirs’ luck came through, the previous biggest lottery winner from Britain was an anonymous player who claimed his or her EuroMillions prize of €129 million in October 2010.
