Airport workers bag £130,000 each playing UK National Lottery – August 4th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

A group of Heathrow Airport baggage handlers have won themselves £130,000 apiece when their numbers came up in a mid-week UK National Lottery draw.

The eight men finally struck the jackpot 17 years after first deciding to play the lottery together and won a life-changing £1.2 million on Wednesday July 20th.

But it was not just dumb luck that resulted in the gang’s generous lotto win, lost baggage supervisor Gerry McNamara told Skyport Heathrow that he had been cross-referencing numbers on the internet to find out which were the luckiest – and this time the plan worked.

The group are now planning to try their luck playing EuroMillions and have said their plans for this load of winnings include holidays, paying off mortgages and putting their kids through university.

One lucky couple to have struck gold playing EuroMillions is the Sutherlands from Wick in Scotland, who took home an enormous €324,950 prize five weeks after their winning lotto numbers were drawn.
