A Ticket to Ride? 76 Year-Old British Cabbie Drives Away with 26 Million ($37 Million in U.S. Dollars) Euro Millions Prize

He insists he won’t give up his day job.

That’s right. England’s latest Euro Millions lottery millionaire is a taxi driver named George Sturt, 76, of Dorking in Surrey and he told the British press that despite his Euro Millions win of 26 million euros (about $37 million in USD), he won’t give up his day job because he likes it so much.

He will share the win with his three children, Gary, Colin and Teresa.

A widower, Sturt plans to give a lot of his share of the cash to charitable causes including cancer research as his wife Maureen sadly died 6 months ago after battling with cancer.

His grown up children could not believe that they had won the jackpot when Sturt first informed them as he loves to play practical jokes.

They thought he was joking when he told them the good news.

The siblings and Mr Sturt pay four pounds each per week to play the lottery, never thinking for one minute that they would be the lucky winners of such a huge sum.

The part time cabbie has eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren who are also likely to benefit from the family’s new found wealth.

Stur’s son Colin, a builder, told the British newspaper, The Sun, as saying “I am honestly still in a state of shock.

“This sort of thing happens to other people and not people like us – it is absolutely crazy.

And “It will be difficult to go back to building houses when you can afford to buy any house that you want.”
