The UK Lottery has recently celebrated its fifteenth year of operation, and among the many festivities that took place across the kingdom, one of the most interesting was perhaps the meeting of the many winners of East of England, a region that has seen the making of over two hundred forty millionaires and multi-millionaires through UK Lottery windfalls. At the event were winners young and old, representing a full spectrum of local towns, as well as a full spectrum of experiences.

Unlike some parts of the world, which offer depressing stories of debauchery and the loss of personal meaning in connection with lottery winnings, the gathering at East of England was decidedly positive, with the majority of winners more than eager to relate their tales of winning to the local press. One couple from Diss noted that while they were monumentally helped by their multiple millions win, putting their children through college, enjoying luxury vacations, and moving into a nice house, they had remained with their perspectives firmly rooted in the earth, a trend which has characterised many UK National Lottery winners.


Plenty of players are crossing their fingers (and toes, and legs, and arms, and, well, don’t cross your eyes for too long, or you won’t be able to read the numbers!) today as the UK National Lottery rolls out a new set of balls, hoping that their own stories will be added to the next local anniversary gathering. Good luck out there!
