She scooped up the jackpot after buying her ticket at a local shop where she had been printing off job application forms.At the time, she was jobless and living on benefits worth £58 ($80) per week.But after she won the jackpot, Loughrey struggled with her mental health and four months later was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. She later won her appeal against being sectioned."Money has brought me nothing but grief. It has destroyed my life. I have had six years of this. I don't believe in religion, but if there is a hell, I have been in it. It has been that bad," she said in 2019, according to <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/27m-euromillions-winner-found-dead-m2gpp0hnn">The Times</a>"No point having £27 million and being lonely. That can't make me happy, that can only make me happy that everybody else's happy and so far everybody is absolutely delighted," she added.Loughrey is not married or had no children. She has been described as a quiet woman who made many donations to family, friends, neighbors, and local charities. At least half of her win is thought to have gone to good causes, The Times reported."I knew her before she won the money, she was quiet, and after she won the money she was still quiet, and she made donations that people will never know about," her neighbor Paul Gallagher told The Irish Times."Margaret wasn't standing out front saying, 'look at me, look how great I am, giving out a cheque.' She just did it, very quietly and behind the scenes," he added.In 2015, she was convicted of assaulting a taxi driver while under the influence of alcohol. She was ordered to do 150 hours of community service as a result.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A couple who won $1.2 million in the lottery plan to keep their jobs as police officers.</li><li>Graeme and Katherine White said they want to show their kids "good work ethic."</li></ul>A British couple who <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/billion-lottery-winner-family-turns-against-him-messy-lawsuit-dad-2024-5">won the lottery</a> said they have no plans to quit their jobs because they want to teach the importance of having a strong work ethic to their children.Graeme and Katherine White won £1 million, or around $1.2 million, in the National Lottery's EuroMillions on May 7, according to multiple reports.The couple work as police officers in Cambridgeshire, England, and share a 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.In a statement shared with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4nn8dl4d9go">the BBC</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/euromillions-lottery-winners-cambridgeshire-couple-b2555506.html">The Independent</a>, they said they would reduce their working hours but wouldn't quit because they want to set a good example for their kids."We're only young and both enjoy what we do, so see no need to stop. But we have cut down our hours, which means we'll have more of a work-life balance," Graeme said in the statement, cited by The Independent."I also think it's important for the children to see us working to instill a good work ethic," he added.<h2 id="a0766756-8b5e-4428-b8a7-25cd75742d92">Coffee, Disneyland, and a new puppy</h2>Graeme told The Independent that he and Katherine initially thought it was "a mistake" when they discovered they had won.While waiting for a call to confirm the news, the couple made their first purchase: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coffee-prices-increases-inflation-drought-frost-2022-8">Coffee </a>from Caffè Nero, a popular British coffee chain.Graeme told The Independent that Caffè Nero was a "little upgrade" as they usually purchased coffee from Greggs, a British bakery chain known for its affordable menu.After the news was confirmed, the couple started planning how they would spend their winnings. According to Graeme, one of the first things on their list was a new home."We always wanted to live somewhere rural with plenty of outdoor space for the children – and so we could keep some chickens and goats – but thought that would be something we'd have to wait for years down the line when we were able to downsize," Graeme told The Independent."However, now thanks to our amazing lucky break we don't have to wait, our dream home can become a reality, and we can start house hunting right away," he said."It's crazy to think, but our 20 year plan has now become our 12 month plan!"The couple also plan to purchase a trip to Disneyland and a Labrador puppy for the children."We've already started to think of names, and obviously have some National Lottery-inspired options on the list, including 'Lottie' and 'Millie,'" Graeme said.The White family aren't the first lottery winners to keep their day jobs.

Sitting on a beach drinking margaritas is fun, but the novelty wears off," Schultz said."I needed a reason to wake up in the morning and a goal to achieve. That is why I went back to college to earn a degree, work on several productions, and pursue my desire to entertain and inspire people positively; I love it, and it drives me."The National Lottery did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>British accountant Richard Nuttall and his wife won $78 million in the EuroMillions lottery.</li><li>Nuttall plans to continue working until he finishes his clients' taxes.</li></ul>A British accountant became a millionaire overnight after he and his wife won around £61 million ($78 million).Despite becoming instantly rich enough to stop working forever, he said he wouldn't let his clients down.Richard Nuttall gave a press conference after winning the EuroMillions describing his plans.He said he and his wife, Debbie, wouldn't make huge changes right away, according to a press release issued by The National Lottery.Nuttall said: "Obviously I am not going to leave anyone in the lurch - my clients have been fantastic and loyal to me and I will of course do their payroll if they are stuck."'They are being very understanding but I am looking to wind things up as soon as possible and finally take it easy."The press release said that he would work until the end of the UK tax year, on April 5.Debbie Nuttall handed in her notice for her job as a civil engineer after finding out about the win, the press release said.They described finding out about their winnings while on holiday in Spain's Canary Islands to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.They initially thought they had won a trivial prize — about $3 — then later realized it was actually the jackpot.<h2>A new hairdryer, golf clubs, and bedding</h2>The couple described making some relatively modest purchases to celebrate: a set of golf clubs for Richard and a hairdryer for Debbie, according to reports by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13108339/Lucky-Lancashire-couple-scooped-61-708-231-EuroMillions-lottery-set-public-today.html">the Daily Mail</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://news.sky.com/story/uk-winners-of-61m-euromillions-jackpot-reveal-they-first-thought-they-had-only-won-2-60-13076884">Sky News.</a>They went on to purchase a couple of splashier items, including bedding worth around $1,500, and a new BMW X5 worth around $152,000, the reports said.They said they could cancel a previous plan to downsize from their three-bedroom home for retirement.Instead, they said, they would look for a larger home in the UK and a vacation home in Portugal."Our lives are going to be so different. We have worked hard all our lives and we are now very much looking forward to taking life a bit easier," he added, per the press release.The press release added that they also planned to support a cancer charity, BK's Heroes, set up to honor their nephew Ben King, who died of a rare cancer aged 27.Richard's decision to stay in work to wrap things up is a change when looking at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-lottery-winners-spend-winnings-2016-1">lottery winners of the past</a>.As <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lottery-winners-lost-everything-2017-8">Business Insider</a> previously reported, there has been a steady stream of extravagant or reckless spending among lottery winners around the world, which has led to debt, family feuds, and regret, with many winners eventually returning to their old lives.Emily Irwin, a financial advisor to lottery winners, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lottery-winner-powerball-financial-advisor-shares-how-not-lose-it-2023-10">previously told BI </a>that winners have the best chance at protecting their winnings by forming a team of advisors and avoiding overspending."After winning the lottery, people see six zeros, nine zeros, or even 10 zeros in their bank account, and they think it's not possible for them to spend all of that," Irwin said."But it is certainly possible if you buy five $50 million homes, and buy a private jet," she added.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Virginia lottery player got all five numbers right and the powerball number — at first.</li><li>But at the last minute, he changed the Powerball number, losing out on the $1.55 billion jackpot. </li></ul>A Virginia lottery winner narrowly missed out on becoming a billionaire due to a last-minute decision to change his Powerball number.Carlos Gutierrez was waiting for a chicken sandwich and a coffee on his way to work on October 9 when he decided to buy a ticket, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.valottery.com/winnersnews/latestwinners">according to the state's lottery administrator</a>.At Lee's Sandwiches in Falls Church, just west of Arlington, he picked out the following numbers: 16-34-46-55-67. He chose a Powerball number of 14, he told officials. But at the last minute, he had a change of heart and switched it to 19, he said.The next day, he stopped by the sandwich shop again, only to hear that someone who bought a ticket there had won $1 million — and it turned out to be him.It also turned out that the Powerball number was 14 — the one he almost picked. That draw's jackpot was $1.55 billion, around 1,500 times what he won.It was still a pretty spectacular day for Gutierrez, whose matching five numbers netted him a huge prize — money he told the lottery organizers he is mulling on using to expand his business.The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot in the Virginia Lottery are 1 in 292.2 million, according to the organizers. All the money raised goes towards the state education system, funding roughly 10% of the total K-12 school budget, organizers say.There have been more agonizing lottery misses. In 2020, some unknown person lost out on $1.21 million in Britain after the prize went unclaimed, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52353477">the BBC reported</a>. In that lottery — the massive Euromillions draw — the prize must be claimed after 180 days, which passed without anyone showing up.In 2021, British student Rachel Kennedy saw that her regular lottery numbers had come up for the Euromillions draw, which that week had a jackpot of $220 million.Unfortunately, that was the one week her automated payment didn't go through, meaning she didn't have a ticket and did not win, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/national-lottery-respond-unlucky-teen-23622621">according to UK newspaper The Mirror</a>.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Andy Carter processes millions of dollars in major lottery wins — and has seen some close calls.</li><li>Some people almost missed out on a fortune by forgetting about their tickets.</li></ul>This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Andy Carter, who advises lottery winners for Camelot, the operator of the UK's National Lottery. His role is to process the prize money for major winners and ensure their ongoing welfare.The following has been edited for length and clarity.My job is a real privilege because you get involved with someone at a stage of their life that they will never, ever forget.When there's a major winner in the UK's National Lottery, they get passed to my team. We're the people who handle winners of £50,000 ($63,000) and upwards.Although my job has a strict process from a regulatory point of view, we are also all about experience.We try to make sure that lottery winners have great support, great access to advice, and that it should be a pleasant experience — <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-lottery-winners-react-big-wins-unexpected-millionaires-2023-12">because actually people are in shock at this point.</a><h2>A six-figure ticket in the laundry</h2>One time, I dealt with a man who claimed his prize with us in plenty of time.He was an older man and he lived by himself, and he put his trousers in the washing machine along with his wallet.In the wallet was some cash, along with his winning ticket — it was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.Anyway, the wallet came out of the washing machine with everything intact. But the banknotes were all sort of screwed up. So he gave them a quick iron — and he also gave his ticket a quick iron.The paper in our tickets reacts to heat — when the heat of an iron hits it, it goes black. Everything. All the numbers and all the barcodes — all the information we need on the front of the ticket just went black.He was horrified.But as he had already called in before this happened, we already had all the right information from him, the numbers and so forth. If he hadn't called in, we'd have had a real problem.We had to do a lot of investigation, and he had to wait a long time for that money to be paid — 180 days is the claim period, and we had to see whether or not anyone else would come forward with a ticket.He got paid eventually — but it was a six-month wait because he ironed the ticket.<h2>The man who guarded his winning ticket with a snake</h2>So you've got this valuable piece of paper, and you are worried about it. Who do you trust to protect it?We have to assure winners when they call that actually, look, yes, we need this ticket, but you've given us the details now. If someone were to steal that ticket, you could ring us and we have procedures to put a stop on that.But still, occasionally they come up with some odd places to hide it.I've seen people keep their tickets in the dictionary, under "W" for "winner." They keep it tucked behind photo frames of loved ones. Some women keep it in their bras.We had this one guy who said that someone — I forget the name, "Sid," or "Bert," or whatever — was "guarding it."I thought this was a friend. But then he pointed over, and there's this snake in a tank.And in there was this big pile of rocks, and then underneath the rocks was a rubber envelope. Apparently the snake doesn't like rubber and won't touch it. And in there was the ticket, because no one was going to try to put their hands in past that.He said to me, "How do you like snakes?" and gets it out and puts it around my neck.My kids were young at the time and I thought, oh, this will impress them, their dad holding a snake.<h2>$90 million tucked behind the sun visor</h2>There was a massive Euromillions winner from Boston, in Lincolnshire, England.No one came forward to claim, for weeks and weeks. And we were publicizing it, saying in the media: "Are you the Euromillions winner in Boston?"Anyway, this guy came forward about two, three days before Christmas. He was a builder or something like that, and the ticket had been in the sun visor of his van all along.He'll have forgotten about it. He would've got in his van, stopped off at a gas station to get a sandwich, bought a ticket, got back into his van, and put it behind the sun visor along with bits of paper, receipts, and stuff.It was worth £70 million ($89 million). Huge. Huge.<h2>Note to lottery players: tidy your room</h2>There was a player who was 18 or 19, something like that, who lived at home with his mom and dad.He'd been tidying his room and had found the ticket, worth a couple of hundred thousand pounds. He hadn't even known he had it — it was just a case of his mom telling him to tidy his room.We have 180 days to pay a prize out after a draw, and I think he phoned up on Day 179.So we had to drop everything to get it processed on time. It involves going to his house, completing the paperwork, all that sort of business. The clock is ticking.I remember standing in his kitchen with his dad, who just shook his head, saying: "He's messy, he's untidy, I've been telling him for years."Day 179, yeah. He was a lucky boy. If he'd left it another 24 hours, 48 hours, it would have gone. He wouldn't have had the money.<h2>Big lottery wins send the team 'buzzing'</h2>Whenever we have a really big winner, the machine sort of slips into play. There is a lot of excitement, it's fantastic. The whole place is buzzing.It's about actually making it very special.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/i-hand-out-lottery-jackpots-cant-play-not-jealous-2024-1">And that's the thing with this job — you have to take it as if they're your first lottery winner</a>. They deserve for it to be special and not mundane or routine.If you win the lottery, you want someone to make a fuss.

I process major lottery wins &mdash; I've seen everything from winning tickets in the laundry to people who almost claimed too late. Also, a giant snake.

Nine months after receiving the prize money, her parents pushed her to give money to her brother, she told The Sun.Bayford told the newspaper that she agreed to their request, giving him £800,000, or about $1 million, to start a new business.But she said that soon after that he stopped talking to her and had a wedding which she wasn't invited to, according to The Sun.Despite offering her family financial help, Bayford told the newspaper that relationships dramatically deteriorated.She no longer speaks to her mother, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lottery-winner-says-gcvzl3xgz">The Times of London reporting</a> in 2016 that she fell out with her parents because, she claimed, she was an embarrassment to them.In an interview with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-148million-lottery-winner-says-7921873">the Mirror in 2016,</a> Bayford's mother, Brenda McCulloch, described feeling "sad" about the lack of contact with her daughter and grandchildren.She said that while her daughter was "incredibly generous," she disputed the £20 million sum, claiming it was a much lower amount they were given.Bayford's mother and brother did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, which was made via the company they own together.Speaking to The Sun about her family, Bayford said: "They're rubbing people's noses in it by flashing their cash, which I think is downright nasty."In an earlier interview, which she gave to The Sun in 2016, she said: "It's upsetting and raw. The money was supposed to make everybody happy. But it's made them demanding and greedy."It's not just relationships with her blood relatives that have soured. Bayford separated from her husband 15 months after the win, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/23381709/euromillions-adrian-bayford-shops-at-tesco-with-girlfriend/">according to The Sun.</a>Her ex, Adrian Bayford, told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2510414/Couple-scooped-148million-lottery-jackpot-divorce-just-year-win.html">The Daily Mail</a> in 2013 that winning the lottery was "stressful" and the stress of managing their windfall meant they spent little time together.He did not immediately respond to BI's request for comment.According to Emily Irwin, who works for Wells Fargo and advises lottery winners on how to spend their money, winning large sums of money can often complicate family dynamics.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/advise-lottery-winners-powerball-heres-what-to-do-win-2023-10?r=US&amp;IR=T">She told Business Insider</a> that winners should consider recruiting a family-dynamics coach to help navigate the difficult conversations with family members.

The buyer bid by phone was from China, the auction house said.The <a href="https://www.osenat.com/en/lot/129609/19225772-china-large-tianqiuping-porcelsort=num&amp;">bidding for the vase at the Osenat auction house</a> was fierce, and it has now lost someone their job. "The expert made a mistake. One person alone against 300 interested Chinese buyers cannot be right," Jean-Pierre Osenat, who owns the auction house, told The Guardian. "He was working for us. He no longer works for us. It was, after all, a serious mistake."The vase was sold at Osenat after a woman from Brittany was clearing her mother's house and decided to part ways with the vase, which once belonged to her grandmother, according to The Guardian. The <a href="https://www.osenat.com/en/lot/129609/19225772-china-large-tianqiuping-porcelsort=num&amp;">listing</a> describes the vase as a "Large TIANQIUPING porcelain and polychrome enamel vase in the style of the blue-white with globular body and long cylindrical neck, decorated with nine fierce dragons and clouds."The expert who analyzed the piece believed the vase was merely a 20th-century decoration and decided it couldn't be worth more than $1,950. But Osenat realized this might not be the case when their pre-auction showing was swamped with interested buyers, who he told The Guardian came to inspect the vase with "lamps and magnifying glasses."He said, "there were so many registrations we had to stop them. At that point, we understood something was happening," per The Guardian.The seller was greeted with a huge shock when the vase, which her family used to put flowers in, sold for the astronomical price. "It's as if she had won the EuroMillions," Osenat told Le Parisien.It's not clear what drove the buyer to pay so much for the vase.Cédric Laborde, the director of the auction house's Asian Arts department, told the Guardian, "We don't know whether it [the vase] is old or not or why it sold for such a price. Perhaps we will never know."The antique expert, who has not been named, is reported to stand by his original valuation, per the Guardian.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">2012 the movie</div></div></div>Immigration is <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/eu-referendum-and-brexit-report-charts-and-analysis-2016-4">one of the key reasons</a> people aiming to vote for Britain leaving the European Union cite for backing Brexit in the referendum on June 23.But if there is a Brexit and, in turn, the government decides to restrict immigration, this could have "significant and damaging effects" on British companies and the economy because it would hurt one of the nation's main sources of workers - EU migrants.That's according to a report, entitled "The impact of free movement on the labour market: case studies of hospitality, food processing and construction," published by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research on Wednesday (emphasis ours):The report found that the frustrations employers experience attracting British workers to low-skilled jobs, and found there were few viable alternatives to EU migrants.UK-born older workers and students had disadvantages in terms of their availability and suitability for the work required, while non-EU migrants were often over-qualified and their recruitment costly and time-consuming because of visa applications.Despite some difficulties associated with poor English, a number of case study employers said they would not have been able to expand their businesses without EU migrants, and they formed part of their plans for future growth.They blamed the negative image of their sectors and poor careers guidance for their lack of appeal to young British workers, although they also acknowledged that low pay, poor conditions and the often arduous nature of the work played a role.Construction firms in particular said their industry would benefit from better training, but added that more government support was needed for this to happen.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/eu-referendum-brexit-possible-as-camerons-bid-for-immigration-control-changes-falls-flat-2015-12">Deutsche Bank</a></div></div></div>Various polls over the last year or so have shown how the Freedom of Movement Act, which allows all EU citizens to easily migrate to any other member state, as well as immigration in general, is one of the factors that pushes <keyword id="6354868" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="UK">UK</keyword> voters to pip for exiting the EU.After all, government data shows that net migration into Britain from the EU was 180,000 in the year to June 2015 - a new all-time high.Freedom of Movement Act rules only apply to EU citizens - not asylum seekers, expats or economic migrants. However, of the 3.2 million non-UK nationals working in Britain in the third quarter last year, just under 2 million were EU nationals."A large section of the public would like to see significant restrictions on free movement, whatever the result of the EU referendum," said Dr Heather Rolfe, Principal Research Fellow at NIESR in a statement."But our research with employers in three key sectors leaves no doubt that restricting their access to this source of labour could have significant and damaging effects on many companies and the jobs of the British workers they employ. From the perspective of employers in low-paid sectors, free movement works pretty well. EU migrants are not a EuroMillions win, but they meet their needs." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-history-banks-finance-markets-ed-morris-2016-4">THE STORY OF GOLDMAN SACHS: From foot peddlers to a powerhouse</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NxNWJ1MjE6u0RxXow5D79vSG1wtQyHQT" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Britain's economy will be significantly damaged by Brexit's impact on immigration

<div class="image-container float_right" style="width:400px"><div class="image"></div>ap</div>Rich Ricci, the head of Barlcays UK corporate investment bank, is catching fire from politicians, bookies and race fans all over the UK, <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/barclays-chief-rich-ricci-cheltenham-1755640#.UT3M1Z4mgGs.twitter">the Mirror reports.</a>
Ricci, who wears a hat to all the races he attends, has 11 horses entered in this week's Cheltenham Festival. It's an annual racing and hunt competition second only to the Grand National in terms of prize money. Ricci and his wife have 40 horses total and have already won almost $900,000 racing this year.
If Ricci's horse, Fatcatinthehat, wins a hurdle race for which it's favored 12-1, he and his wife will pick up an additional $111,547.50.

Labour MP John Mann, a member of the Treasury Select Committee, described it as an “insult”.
He added: “It shows how out of touch these bankers are.”
The bookies are also less than happy. Ladbrokes spokesman David Williams moaned: “If Fatcatinthehatwins, we will sink into recession – all the bankers will be shovelling their bonuses on to the horse.
“Mr Ricci has some fancied runners and it’s an odds-on shot he will be celebrating a winner this week.” Fat cat in the hat is 12-1 third favourite to win Wednesday’s Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle, which carries a £75,000 first prize.
The Mirror also points out that Mr. Ricci is known for buying Euro­Millions tickets for the $137,236.40 jackpot last summer. He reportedly bought them with £50 notes.
Now that's some bad press.
