FYI:

A single UK ticket holder has won the record-breaking £161m EuroMillions jackpot, a National Lottery spokesman has revealed.


If the ticket was not bought on behalf of a syndicate, the holder will be catapulted into 430th place on the Sunday Times Rich List, ahead of Ringo Starr and not far behind the Beckhams.
No details have been released about the winner who matched all five main numbers and both the lucky stars.
The jackpot had been capped after a series of rollovers made it the largest ever in Europe.
The winning numbers were 17, 19, 38, 42 and 45, and the lucky stars were 9 and 10.

Do you have any idea how many people win a huge amount and then lose it all, only to end up worse off then they were?

now, i think we should contact this person and see what we can do to get him to the priority stages of changing this planets' focus.....if people who won the lottery were all like minded, and pulled their resources together, there may actually be a chance to quash the ptw. just a thought.
