The amount is the largest lottery prize ever paid out in the UK. If either of the two winners is an individual and not a syndicate it will also be the UK's largest ever individual win.

Nine European countries take part in the weekly EuroMillions lottery.

Earlier this year a ticket bought in Spain won the lottery's record payout to date of 126m euros (£110m).

Have you won a large amount in a lottery? How would you use a lottery win? Can a large win be a help or a hindrance to a happy life?

Read the full story (on the BBC website)

i've already chosen the house i'd buy - lol - i'd also buy a flash penthouse in the middle of London coz i'd still be hoping to go to King's College - then i'd go and buy loads of Guitars - go on a bit of a spree in Harrods and then give money to family - then i'd live off the interest + spend my life comfortably, hopefully with a lady friend to share it all with - be no fun otherwise - sitting all alone in my penthouse with my guitars - lol

Going to show Mark Thatcher how a real coup is done?

I'd pay my tuition fees, buy a house, give some to charity then put the rest in savings.

[Age_of_Innocence]

Honestly don't know. Would give some to immediate family first. But then things have a way of going sour when big money is involved. You give some to people, like family, and you'd think they would be grateful for it. But then some people think you haven't give them enough, or are envious you have given other people more. And then if they balls up with the monies you kindly gave them, or fall out with people in their family, then they will blame you for giving them the money originally, "If you had never given me that money this would never have happened!!"

[noodles!]

Buy my parents a house, buy myself a house in Cardiff & maybe a flat somewhere in Germany, give some to charity, spend a load of it on random bits of technology and other tat, and invest the rest, live off the income. Sorted.

Monies plz.

[HumorousGent.]

As much Lambrini as I could afford.

Then spend my last pound on another Lottery ticket.

[spaztasticmania]

Invest about 80% of it and use the rest to live an extravogant and excessive lifestyle.

[OhYumMilk]

Pay my parents and sisters debts. Renovate or relocate my fathers shop to somewhere he can get better business or just give him enough money to retire or do a course cause he sucks as a shopkeeper anyway.

Pay for all my uni
Rehouse my mother so she lives in her dream home
Give my sister an apartment and starting moeny so she can get a job

The rest would go into saving for a possible child inthe future, future home, my goals abroad and I'd give my best friend 150k cause she's doing 7 years in Uni

[mqwang]

share half of the money equally with my family and friends(must be some more for parents)and put the left money in the bank. the interest from it should be enough for my life^_^ fly to Manchester for watching matches of man utd !!!

[ItsAnnaYay]

I would buy my grandparents a nice house ^^ and give 1 million to my parents
I'm sure they would be happy..Donate to various charity's
Umm treat myself and save the rest in the bank XD

[thunder_chunky]

The first thing I would buy is one of these:



Then pay off my parents mortgage as a gesture of good will, then some other stuff I guess.

Maybe go spend an evening and a day at a whiskey bar.

[Socialist-Future]

With 45 million I'd put five million in a current account to spend (on a house, a car and my family) and put the rest in a savings account and give 75% of the Interest to charity.
