We won the lottery then gave winnings away by making pals rich & flushing cash down the loo after 5 bottles of champagne

The Sun says THEY say you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than win the lottery.

But you might have a better chance of getting your hands on jackpot millions by being the friend of a winner – as loads of them have written life-changing cheques to dozens of pals.

One EuroMillions-winning couple told this week of how they kept their eye-watering £12.4million jackpot a secret before splitting the cash with 30 friends and family.

Sharon and Nigel Mather from Trafford, Greater Manchester, scooped the prize in 2010 and then created a spreadsheet of who they wanted to share their newfound fortune with.

“It wasn’t about showing off,” Sharon told the MEN.

“It was about helping the people close to us and not lying.”
