James and Sue Schofield from Shropshire are the latest winners to be announced from the UK’s EuroMillions New Years special draw.

The bonus draw, only for players in the UK, created an additional 25 millionaires in the New Years Day draw.

Is there such a thing as a lucky lottery store? If you buy from a certain place will you have a better chance of winning?

It’s pretty common to see.

Most lottery fans outside of Spain only know of the big Christmas El Gordo draw. The one with the crazy prize pool of billions.

But the January ‘El Nino’ draw is almost as big.

Big lottery winners often think they can keep their old lives and carry on as usual.

But when you’re a particularly BIG winner, and your name and photos have been plastered all over the national papers, it’s just not likely anymore.

Claire and Scott, 30, actually wanted a scratch card. But their friend bought them a EuroMillions ticket by mistake.

Superstitious Claire said she had been nervous about bad luck after being told that taking her Christmas decoration down early was considered unlucky.

Having your car stolen is pretty upsetting to start with, but when you discover your insurance doesn’t cover theft AND you left a winning lottery ticket in your car… well, the day can only get better.

Mark Steele, 50, just claimed a £244,437 win with EuroMillions.

He’s played since the lottery first began, and used the ages of his family to choose his numbers.

Bob regularly went into the Flanagan Bart’s Supermarket while on business. And saw an endless stream of Powerball ticket sales being handled by Rakesh Patel (“Rocky”).

Aaron, 40, from Swanage just became the latest of the 25 new millionaires created by the UK’s bonus EuroMillions draw from Christmas day.

Amusingly, and perhaps prompted by the recent Nolan affair, Aaron actually posted a couple of ‘fake’ winners pics to Facebook – as they were dressed up and drinking champagne for a Christmas dinner.

The 52 year old woman who wished to remain unnamed, picked her numbers using the feast days of the Virgin Mary.

She says she’s now going to make a donation to the church as well as offering Our Lady a prayer.
