Winning a record prize of £ 11 million, Mark Gardiner knew that all his problems were a thing of the past. However, though his present problems vanished, Mark found himself with new ones that he was not capable of or trained to handling. With his friend and business partner Paul Maddison, Mark won the jackpot. Together the two won a record £ 22 million and Mark got his share of £ 11 million. Shunning the limelight, Paul retreated into the background while Mark decided to have some fun.
Before he could believe it, Mark blew half of his winnings. He bought expensive cars and houses, gave to friends and relatives, married and then divorced, but his problems never seemed to end. His family rejected him as though he had committed a crime. Finally, Mark regained his bearings, grew wiser, and remarried his first wife, a childhood sweetheart, whom he had divorced when he was penniless.

Ianthe Fullagar, a student, won a mind-blowing £ 7,055,142. After the traditional screaming in disbelief she settled down and called her family, and her boyfriend, and shared the news with them. Ianthe intends to share her new found wealth with her near ones and continues to pursue her law school studies. The main new thing she planned to buy was a new car.
