Couple Scoop Second EuroMillions Win
A couple from Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire have won the EuroMillions – for the second time in two years.
The couple, named as David and Kathleen Long, scooped the £1m lottery prize in the draw which took place on 27 March. Their first win was in 2013, where they also won £1m.
Camelot, the lottery organiser, said it was an "extraordinary situation".
A spokesperson added: "As you can imagine, we see winners who win once who are very, very shocked. It must be even more shocking to win twice."
