Quick pick beats lottery pool

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Mark Weir has won £2.7 million Lotto jackpot, and then told to his former lottery pool members, “You won’t get a penny”.

Mark is father of two children, he is 45, bought a £1 Quick Pick ticket and hit jackpot in last UK National Lottery draw. He was failing to win anything for many years before in his office lottery pool.

After picking up his winnings yesterday, Mark, from Darlington said, that the lads at his work won’t get any share.

“I paid into a lottery pool at the factory for years and never won anything to shout about. But the Quick Pick has got me the jackpot.”

He and his wife Julie, 44, are planning a shopping spree. On the top of Mark’s list is a brand new fishing gear. He also added, “I’d like a new car but now I can afford a dream model, I don’t know what to buy.”

Julie (pharmacy assistant) said, “The only thing I want is a trip to New York.”
