Winners’ stories
Millions of people around the world play lotteries, EuroMillions and other draws in search of luck that will change their lives. Many people receive a prize, but only a few manage to become millionaires. Of these, most prefer to remain anonymous, and only a few agree to tell their story to the public. These are stories of success and failure. For some this is a dream come true, but for others it is the beginning of a nightmare. Here are some of them.
She wins so many times that she is put under investigation.
Amelia Barnham is 69 years old, a financial worker, grandmother and mother of three, and her story is the most bizarre. She won the lottery in the United Kingdom so many times that she was investigated. On February 3, he won £800 and has not yet managed to collect it.
The new operator of the HotPicks game sent a detective to his home and demanded that he confirm his identity. “This has made me very nervous and I am furious about the investigation. “They made me feel like a criminal,” Amelia laments.
The reason for suspicion is his repeated luck. Amelia spends £60 a week on lottery tickets and has won small prizes totaling £23,600 on several occasions.
Earn a million and keep working
There are those for whom the millionaire prize does not change their lives. Such is the case with Alex Best, a 23-year-old who won one million pounds (€1.2 million) on the EuroMillions lottery in 2019 and decided to continue working.
“I kept looking at the screen, reading every letter and number over and over again to make sure it was true. “I was shaking like a leaf,” he recalls.
The lucky man worked at Flamingo Land theme park in Leeds for £10 an hour. The young man demonstrated a strong work ethic and decided to stay in the same profession despite receiving a million dollar bonus.
They earn 35 million and are left with nothing
Edwina and David Neilan won £35 million but were left with nothing. The British couple regularly entered the UK Lottomobile draw by checking their tickets through the app. In December 2015, they tried to place bets, but after writing down the numbers, they realized they had no balance. The couple topped up their wallet on the app to confirm their bets.
After the draw they couldn’t believe their combination had won the £35 million prize. When they became interested in the prize, they received the unfortunate news that the deposit and bets were not registered in the system, so they were not listed as the winners of the draw.
“We tried to top up the account and didn’t notice that it wasn’t registered either,” they told The Sun newspaper. “I’m devastated, but what can we do?” – Edwina lamented.
He wins more than five million and finds out about it at the bar.
Rufino became the most famous resident of Valuengo, a small town in Jerez, after his victory in Gordo de la Primitiva. 5 million four hundred thousand euros were spent on this. The most curious thing is how he found out that he became a millionaire: in a bar and by accident.
Rufino was drinking coffee in a regular bar. There was talk among customers that someone from the city had won the Primitiva jackpot. A local waiter suggested checking Rufino’s ticket: “It’s you from Gordo.” And hence the general mistrust. No one in the bar believed it, not even the winner himself. At the company where he worked, Rufino had an accident that cost him three fingers on one hand and disability.
Killed after winning the lottery
Vicente Sanchez, a 79-year-old resident of Hinojal (Cáceres), won a million-dollar lottery prize eight years ago. On March 8, 2024, his body with signs of violence appeared in a rural area of the municipality. The man went missing on January 27.
In this case, money was a death sentence for Vicente. The local sheriff admitted that he strangled him. The Civil Guard accuses him of murder, violent robbery and fraud. The main motive for the crime appears to be economic, since the detainee stole 2,000 euros, which the victim withdrew from the bank on the day of his disappearance.
