In the wake of the happy news that 16 supermarket workers from Greater Manchester in the UK won £430,000 apiece playing UK National Lottery, one newspaper has asked its readers whether or not they would retire after such a windfall.
The Manchester Evening News calculated that a prize of this size could last 21.5 years if the player gave themselves an annual income of £20,000, while putting this sum in the bank could earn interest of around £1,118 per month.
Some readers claimed they would hand in their notice in a heartbeat if their lottery numbers came through for them, but many were not interested in a life of leisure.
Jan 2 commented that if she was in her 20s or 30s then she would carry on working, but at her age she would definitely retire.
And UK National Lottery fans may have to make this tricky decision tomorrow (October 12th) if their lotto numbers come through and they take home the £9.3 million jackpot.

They say a lottery win could make your dreams come true and for one lucky lotto fan this is certainly the case, as the UK National Lottery winner is going to use her cash to help her have a baby.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, 32-year-old Emma Allen won £430,000 when she and her colleagues scooped a £7 million win playing their favourite draw together last month.
Far from wishing for a life of fast cars and tropical holidays, the Asda employee revealed that she and her husband have already completed two courses of IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) unsuccessfully and if they want to try again then it will cost £5,000.
“This money means I can carry on with the IVF and have unlimited treatments. It will give me the family I have dreamed of. It’s a happy ending,” she explained.
And another UK National Lottery fan may well find their luck comes in on Wednesday (October 12th), as the draw could give them the chance of winning £9.3 million.

Lotto fans looking for ways to encourage their luck to come around when playing for the dizzyingly generous jackpots frequently seen on Italian SuperEnalotto might want to consider entering the draw with friends.
Pooling the money they would have spent individually and buying more lines between a group could, according to some lottery enthusiasts, make a difference if players are experiencing a losing streak.
Entering a lottery draw on a regular basis with friends and family may help increase everybody’s chances of winning and the payouts can either be used to buy more tickets or can be split between the players.
Today’s Italian SuperEnalotto top prize is €64.3 million – which could be enough to prompt some lotto fans to get in the game together to up their chances of taking home that life-changing jackpot.
Just last week, a group of co-workers from South Carolina who play lotto together split a €250,000 prize between them.

A group of 13 co-workers from South Carolina have split a $250,000 prize after their luck came in playing USA Mega Millions.
The gang – who work at a Spartanburg County manufacturing plant – picked the first five numbers called in Tuesday’s (September 13th) lotto draw and after the division of the generous payout, each one of them will take home just over $13,000.
Two of the colleagues represented the group when they collected the winnings from the SC Education Lottery offices in Columbia after they discovered the next day that they had won the prize.
When asked what they will be spending their lottery money on, one of the workers claimed he would be leaving that decision up to his wife, while another said it would be going to the University of South Carolina, where their daughter is studying.
And lotto fans keen on getting in on the USA Mega Millions action this week can enter tomorrow’s (September 20th) draw, with a chance to win a $75 million jackpot.

According to the Herald Argus, the lucky group, who are all employed by the Lake Michigan and Indiana Railroad of Burns Harborbegan, have been buying their lotto tickets together for around five years.

After tax and the division of the payout, each member of the group has taken home $14,324 in lottery prize money and one player, Dave Emmons, claimed his winnings may go towards a fishing trip in Canada but added: “I’ll probably just sit on [the money] because it’s nice to know that it’s there if you need it.”

Another Almost-Losing-Winner Story
Literally, one day before their 180-day claim period was set to expire, a North Carolina couple came forward to claim their Mega Millions jackpot. Talk about last minute – this couple had less than 24-hours before their ticket would have changed from a ticket valued at $1 Million, to just another piece of paper. That is, another piece of paper worth absolutely nothing.
Erin and Raleigh Hill were the lucky “almost-losing-winners” who, despite authorities numerous attempts to locate them, held onto their ticket for almost 6 months! Mr. Hill KNEW that they had a winning ticket, yet waited weeks to tell his wife. He conveniently told her when she came home from a bad day at work. I think it’s safe to say her bad day became pleasantly “not-so-bad”. For months, Mrs. Hill tried to get her husband to cash the ticket in instead of hiding it everywhere from their Bible to a shoebox. He even thought he had lost it at one point during those months.
His reasoning behind not claiming his million dollars immediately? Raleigh said to officials “It wasn’t about the money. It was the attention…I was overwhelmed. Nervous”. Really? Well, Mr. Raleigh, next time you’re too “nervous” to claim $1,000,000 – send that ticket my way. When Gail Howard, lottery expert and author of the popular book ‘Lottery Master Guide’, was asked why she thinks it’s so common for lottery tickets to go unclaimed, she simply answered “I think it’s more that they were too busy or lazy to check their ticket….Then days went by and it went out of their mind”.
At least 4 tickets go unclaimed each year in North Carolina. Two years ago, another N.C. man nearly lost out on $200,000 because his lottery ticket was left unchecked and sitting in his dresser drawer for months – 5 months and 29 days that is. With two days left, he found it and realized…how lazy he was <wink>. Yet another reason why playing lotteries online is the only way to play. With your jackpots deposited right into your account, you can’t go wrong. Besides, checking your own ticket right after the drawing is SO ten years ago.
Good Luck,
Edward Webber
