Christmas Lottery Win Brings Festive Cheer

Christmas is an expensive time for everyone, particularly families with young children. They may have to budget in the first few weeks of the following year, but the sacrifice is always worth it. One family that does not have to worry about the cost of Christmas 2014, and the following weeks, and probably the many years ahead, were Ian and Jenn Burston and their two children from Exeter, who thought they had won £3,000 when they took a lucky dip online and had five numbers and the bonus ball. They soon found out that instead of £3,000 they had won £3 million.

Sharing Millions

The reason was because no one got all six numbers, the £15m jackpot was shared by the five people who had five numbers and the bonus ball. There is a limit to the number of times a lottery fund can roll over; the next draw goes to the next level down, and in this case, it was shared as described.

Ian and Jenn’s three bedroom semi detached was becoming too small; it was no longer a problem.

Millionaires

Lotteries have made many ordinary people into millionaires, and that is clearly a life changing event. It is important that plenty of thought is given to what to do next. Young couples that suddenly win such riches, and are unlikely to ever have money worries, should never simply sit back and decide to do nothing. They may not stick with their existing jobs, but they need to have things to occupy their time.

It must be a great problem to have. A nice house, cars and holidays will obviously be things to consider. These things can be done without making too much of a dent in a winning sum in the millions.

Convenience of Membership

Many people try every week to win something like the Burstons have won. They do so by calling into their local retailer or that is the way that everyone used to do it. The Internet has changed many things and it has led to a growth in lottery participation. Jenn bought her ticket online but many people like the convenience of actually becoming online syndicate members with somebody like DTD European Services that administers memberships by providing personal accounts which contain every transaction that a member has had; the payments he or she has made and the winnings achieved. It is simply a matter of getting in touch to find out more. Most people will have a question or two, but they will be answered promptly. Once both parties are satisfied, it is just a matter of arranging a direct debit for the agreed fee each month and everything can start. Christmas 2015 may well become much easier for many people like the Burstons.
