British Couple Hit for $88 Million Euro Millions Prize (Spanish Winner Also Hits, Wins Same Amount)

How would you react if your father and mother just won $88 million dollars playing EuroMillions?

“Whatever” was the reply.

Indeed.

When Nigel Page discovered he had won £56 million ($88 million in USD) on the lottery he couldn’t say a word while his stunned partner Justine Laycock, said: “Oh my God”.

But her 15-year-old daughter Georgia’s reaction was like that of a typical teenager.

“She just said, ‘Whatever’..she was a typical teenager about it,” said Ms. Laycock after the couple discovered they were Britain’s biggest winners, the British newspaper, Daily Mail reported this week.

The couple, who would make around £47,000 a week in interest if they banked all their jackpot, said they were confident that the massive win will not spoil their children.

“We’re so proud of them — they are very level-headed.

“They are more calm about it than we are. They’ve joked about getting a tarantula and getting a little Shetland pony so her feet can run on the ground by the side while she’s riding it but that’s it. So all they want so far is a spider and a pony,” Ms. Laycock was quoted as saying.

Ms. Laycock said, “I knew something was up as Nigel never wakes me up on a Saturday morning and he looked so worried. All he said was, ‘I need you urgently — I need to show you something’

“I thought something awful had happened but he took me to the computer and there it was on the screen. His hands were shaking so much he couldn’t pick up the phone, so I called the lottery line and they confirmed it was true — we were the £56 million winners. Then we went into the front room and just stood there laughing.”

I’d laugh too.

Wouldn’t you?

And maybe cry a little bit.

Congratulations guys. Nicely done. Spot on.
