The Millionaire Raffle number DHF422620 made James Campbell and his wife Angela £1 million richer on Christmas Eve, but James didn’t check his ticket until Christmas Day. “I checked my EuroMillions numbers first on Teletext but we hadn’t won a prize on the main game so I went on the lottery website to check the Millionaire Raffle number at the bottom of the ticket,” James explained. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw we had matched one of the Raffle numbers – I gave it to Angela to double check and she confirmed we’d won £1 million!” The couple will now be buying a new home and a new car, and James will be buying Angela driving lessons so that she can learn to drive.
Another £1 million prize was won by a syndicate of 15 work colleagues. The syndicate was set up three months prior to the win when the syndicate founder, Ocean King, had a very strong ‘psychic’ feeling that a million pound win was on the horizon. “I don’t usually talk about my psychic gift at work but I was convinced we were going to win a million and felt I had to start the syndicate so I could share the good fortune,” Ocean said. “We began playing the EuroMillions in October and only discovered our Christmas Eve win on New Year’s Eve – seems I was true to my word about a win by the end of 2010!”
Christmas was looking bleak for EuroMillions player Derek Street because he had the flu, so when he discovered that he had won £1 million by playing online it really made the festive season special for himself and his wife Sandra. “I had got the ticket on Christmas Eve, I felt terrible and couldn’t go out on with my sons as we usually do,” he explained. “We had to cancel seeing my sons on Christmas Day as well as I felt so ill, and Sandra joked that we may at least be millionaires. I checked the email and said well yes we could be. When I logged on and saw the £1 million I just sat in total disbelief.”
