Congrats to all the winners! I love those old school tumblers with the three paddles. Anybody know what the lottery does with obsolete equipment? Like their ping pong balls and tumblers. It'd be rad to buy some of their discards when they are getting new equipment.

The UK Lottery allows winners to remain anonymous, which the vast majority do. The British Lottery also offers winners independent financial advice. All US lotteries should offer both to their winners.

Thank You for the lottery stories from the U.K.

Each winner is different in how they spend their winnings. Same as here in the US.

Good Luck to all

An interesting British TV series related to the lottery I am currently watching is called At Home With The Braithwaites . I won't say much more, but it is a lot better show than I expected. I would recommend it

UK National Lottery celebrates 25 years

Includes video report

Next week will mark a quarter of a century since the first National Lottery draw and to mark it, we have tracked down one of the first batch of millionaires it created.

The first draw was broadcast live on the BBC on 19 November 1994, with it hosted by TV favourites Noel Edmonds and Anthea Turner.

The first number drawn? 30. Followed by 3, 5, 44, 14 and 22 long before the relatively recent addition of numbers 50 to 59.
