Here are the ten previous British winners of the EuroMillions draw so far

1. In July 2011, Colin and Chris Weir became Europe’s biggest lottery winners when they won more than £161 million.

The couple, who have been married for thirty years, say they are “not afraid” of the wealth because they will have “so much fun” with the money.

The pair, a retired TV cameraman and a retired psychiatric nurse, from Largs, Ayrshire, said their children Carly, a photography student, and Jamie, a call center worker, would buy their own houses and cars.

The family made a £1 million donation to the SNP shortly after the victory.

2. Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Suffolk, took home more than £148 million in August 2012.

The marriage ended just 15 months into their new jackpot-winning life, with the stress of money cited as the reason they had to split.

A spokesperson for Mrs Bayford said at the time: ‘Gillian Bayford confirms that her marriage to Adrian has irretrievably broken down and they have separated.’

It came after Mrs Bayford was forced to deny she was having an affair with the couple’s gardener, Chris Tovey.

3. An anonymous ticket holder took home £123 million in July

4. Patrick and Frances Connolly from County Armagh won the entire EuroMillions jackpot of £115 million on New Year’s Day 2019

5. An unnamed ticket holder claimed just over £113 million in October 2010 and chose not to go public.

6. Neil Trotter, from South London, won almost £108 million, taking him from former car mechanic to multi-millionaire in March 2014.

Neighbors in Croydon described how he and partner Nicky Ottaway moved ‘almost overnight’ after winning the EuroMillions jackpot last March.

Mr Trotter admitted at the time that he resembled his namesake, Del Boy Trotter of Only Fools And Horses.

7. Steve Thomson and his wife Lenka, from West Sussex, became the UK’s biggest EuroMillions winners when they claimed a prize worth £105 million in November 2019.

8. Dave and Angela Dawes, a couple from Cambridgeshire, won more than £101 million in their third attempt at the EuroMillions draw in October 2011.

Mr Dawes said he “didn’t sleep a wink” on the night of the win because it was too late to call Camelot after the couple checked their numbers.

Last year the couple was taken to court by his son, an Afghanistan veteran, Michael Dawes, 32, who said he was “incurable of mind”.

But a judge ruled the millionaire father doesn’t have to keep bailing out his son, who burned through £1.6million in two years and came back for more, because he didn’t heed his stepmother’s advice to quit with eating at the Ritz and going to McDonald’s instead. .

9. A British winner received a £93 million payout in June 2015, but decided to remain anonymous.

10. The Davies family from Wales won £61 million at the EuroMillions in 2016

Stephanie Davies, 23, is said to have bought the ticket ‘reluctantly’ at the time after her mother Sonia called her from Florida and begged her to go buy one.

Keith Reynolds, Sonia Davies, Stephanie, Courtney Davies and Steve Powell all took home the jackpot and said they were the ‘luckiest people’ in the world to have won.

RESIDENTS have rejected plans to close 12 landfills, saying it will turn their area into a dumping ground.

Locals in Hampshire could lose a dozen rubbish centers in their area as the council tries to save money.

The county council has put forward plans to close five household waste recycling centers to plug a £132 million budget gap.

It says a further seven centers need investment if they are to survive.

Smoking residents are up in arms over the proposed closures, saying their area will become a hotspot for flying chickens.

One person wrote on Facebook: “So Hampshire County Council is thinking of closing landfill sites including Marchwood Tip to save money?

“What a short-sighted and silly idea, all of this will encourage people to tip which will then cost the council more money to clean up.”

Another fumed: “It's rubbish. They will have to pay a lot more for tip cleanup, which will increase significantly if people can't throw out their trash and recycle items.”

Councilor Caroline Rackham said she is also concerned this would lead to an increase in tipping.

She told the BBC: “Ponies come to the waste where the flies end up and look for food, so they can hurt or suffocate themselves if there is plastic in it. It contains harmful substances that people can fly around and that can end up in rivers or affect birds. .

“It's such a concern in this biodiverse area.”

A flycatcher can be fined up to £50,000, or even more if the case goes to the Crown Court, an offender can even be sent to prison.

Municipalities can take action against people suspected or caught of chicken tipping, including impounding vehicles suspected of dumping waste in a way that causes pollution to the environment, and prosecuting, which could result in a criminal record if found guilty in court.

You could be fined up to €400 by the local authority and have to pay the clean-up costs

The council says it is considering alternatives, including changing the types of waste accepted at the centers and limiting opening hours.

Council leader Rob Humby said: “We currently have 24 HWRCs and we believe this is more than any other province.

'We have very clear criteria from the government about the tonnage they can take and how far people can be expected to drive.

'That helped us determine which ones would not be viable if we had to cut back on services due to our financial pressures.

“We truly believe that most Hampshire residents are law abiding and will not tip.”

LAWS FOR FLY CHIPPING

Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offense for which you can be prosecuted.

The courts have a range of powers at their disposal to tackle tipping, including prison sentences, unlimited fines and an order to disqualify the rights to any vehicle used to commit the offence.

Fly-tipping is defined as the “illegal dumping of waste on land that is not licensed to accept it”.

Dumping a mattress, electrical appliances or a garbage bag full of waste on the street causes local nuisance and makes a neighborhood look ugly and dilapidated.

At the larger end of the scale, landfilling can involve dumping several truckloads of construction and demolition waste onto different types of soil.

Uncontrolled illegal waste disposal can be dangerous to the public, especially if it contains toxic material or asbestos.

There is a risk of damage to watercourses and soil quality due to the dumped waste.

More than a million cases of fly-tipping were dealt with in England every year.

The 34 million tonnes of rubbish left on the streets and countryside every year would fill 30 Wembley stadiums to the brim.

By 2021 this would cost the economy £1 billion per year – 55 per cent more than in 2015.

Organized crime gangs and repeat offenders are behind the devastating mess, an Environment Agency report has found.

Major tensions erupt in the Love Island: All Stars villa on tonight's show as one of the Islanders dumps their partner for handsome bombshell Tom Clare.

ITV2 viewers saw the 24-year-old footballer arrive in South Africa at the end of Tuesday night's show, along with Rochelle Humes' sister Sophie Piper.

But his arrival shocks Georgia Steel, 25, who secretly dated Tom following his split from ex-girlfriend Samie Elishi, and now hopes they can pick up where they left off – leaving Callum Jones, 27, vulnerable.

After declaring each other 'relationship material', Georgia and Callum decided to continue their romantic relationship, cementing their affection with several passionate kisses.

Tom's arrival holds Georgia back as her feelings resurface and she chooses to pursue their spark.

A TV source told MailOnline: 'Everything seemed to be going so well between Georgia and Callum.

'But Georgia's priorities changed as soon as Tom entered the villa.

'She kicks Callum to the curb and her focus is purely on Tom and to top it all off he has all the power.'

Georgia and Tom couldn't keep their eyes off each other during their first dinner date.

The reality star even went to Tom's side of the table to sit on his lap as Callum looked on with puppy dog ​​eyes.

Tom and his Love Island ex Samie split just a month after leaving the show, despite saying they were in love with each other.

According to reports, Samie dramatically pulled out of returning to Love Island for the All Stars series to avoid an awkward reunion with her ex.

Ahead of his appearance, Tom referred to the couple's 'arguments', admitting it would have been 'difficult' to see her again.

Ahead of his appearance, Tom referenced the couple's 'arguments', admitting it would have been 'hard' for Samie again

He said: “I think it's hard because obviously I was in love with Sammy so I don't know how I would react.

'We haven't seen each other for a long time and a lot of things have been said. It would be hard to see her.

“Although we may have had a few arguments, she has a good heart and I can't say anything bad about her.”

Tom and Sophie are the latest stunners to enter the Love Island villa.

Sophie is the sister of This Morning presenter Rochelle, who she says will be shocked to see her return.

She said: 'They will die when they see me on their TV screens again. It will be a shock. They got so obsessed with the show the first time.”

Married At First Sight British fans criticized ‘cold’ Laura Vaughan during Monday night’s episode after she ‘brutally’ dumped her husband Arthur Poremba.

During their second wedding ceremony, viewers saw the finance manager, 34, read a ‘needlessly cruel’ speech to the tennis coach, 37, before walking out of their wedding.

In the previous scenes, three of the couples, Laura and Arthur, Jordan and Erica, and Peggy and Georges, went back to their separate homes, where they had five days to think about their decision.

After contemplating their future together, they were reunited at a second ceremony in which they read their vows and decided whether to stay together or leave the experiment.

Speaking ahead of their renewal, Arthur said: ‘I still hold on to the fact that sometimes we find ourselves in such a fortunate situation.’

Goodbye: During their second wedding ceremony, viewers saw the finance manager, 34, read an ‘unnecessarily cruel’ speech to the tennis coach, 37, before walking out of their wedding

He added: “I feel strongly about Laura and I and I want to fight for her.”

Back at her home, Laura spoke with one of her friends, who had already made her disapproval of Arthur clear in an earlier heated argument.

She wondered, “What if I leave now, but we are on the cusp of something good?” How do you know when to end a marriage?’

At his home, Arthur shared his fears: “We have something good going on and I think we can make it work, but Laura’s friends might change her mind.”

And it seems the tennis coach was right to doubt his bride when Laura said during the ceremony, “The more I grow as a person, the more I become a part of you.”

She brutally added, “I’ve always been a fixer, but I’ve realized this relationship can’t be fixed. You’re perfect for someone, but it won’t be me.’

Speaking to camera afterwards, Laura admitted: ‘Arthur’s vows have made things quite difficult for me, but I’m moving forward with much more confidence. I will miss Arthur, but the ring is finished.’

Meanwhile, Arthur was visibly shaken by Laura’s words as he broke down in tears while discussing their vows with a producer.

Appalling: Sharing their thoughts on X/Twitter, fans were shocked by Laura’s ‘brutal’ speech, with one posting: ‘So cold-hearted! Not even sorry for poor Arthur’

‘That made me feel like c***. Ultimately, I would have tried to make things work on the outside and I’m really upset that she didn’t feel the same way,” he said.

Speaking to a producer off camera, Arthur added: “I don’t really know what else to say at the moment, sorry.”

Sharing their thoughts on X/Twitter, fans were shocked by Laura’s ‘brutal’ speech, with one posting: ‘So cold hearted! Not even sorry for poor Arthur.’

‘That was so cruel. I do not understand. She could have been so much nicer about it!’ another added.

A third agreed: ‘Laura just revealed her true nature – she’s a mean person, that was unnecessarily cruel.’

‘That was so callous, Arthur is a sweet boy and Laura always thought she was above him. I hope he finds someone more down to earth,” someone else wrote.

“I hope Arthur finds a stunner who appreciates him and brings sunshine and sprinkles into his life,” one fan shared.

Elsewhere, Jordan admitted to his mother that he would move to Edinburgh to be with Erica, as he admitted: ‘I would rather do that and make the relationship work than have it not change and have it break down because of the distance .

“When I promise her these last vows, I want it to be forever.”

Meanwhile, Erica shared some concerns with her friends as she said she was still worried about the communication issues between them.

On the way home: ‘That was so callous, Arthur is a sweet guy and Laura always had the impression that she was above him. I hope he finds someone more down to earth,” one fan wrote

But at the renewal all their concerns were put to rest when Erica confirmed: ‘Over the past few weeks you have shown me that you are willing to work hard. I hope that together we can become the best version of ourselves.’

Fans of the show had to wait until Tuesday to find out the fate of Peggy and George’s marriage, as the episode ended on a cliffhanger.

Peggy remains caught between Georges and her family, who still disapprove of him, and breaks down during her vows. She admitted it was the “hardest decision of her life.”

“I have thought long and hard over the past few days whether this can work or whether this is game over for us?” she asked.
