 Each winner from Friday night's Euromillions draw will scoop ￡45,570,835.50.(Agencies) |

The two winners who yesterday claimed their half of the ￡90 million Euromillions jackpot will instantly become as wealthy as Cliff Richard, Jamie Oliver, Jenson Button and Sir Michael Caine. The pair of ticketholders will receive more than ￡45.5 million each when their tickets have been fully validated. The win is so big that it could earn them around ￡2 million per year in interest payments alone. But the identities of the pair will not be released until the prizes have been paid out, according to the National Lottery. "We are looking forward to welcoming these ticketholders to our millionaires' club which is already 2,300 strong," a spokesman said. The winning numbers were 11, 19, 34, 43 and 45. The Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9. Sunday Times Rich List compiler Philip Beresford said this would be the first time a British lottery winner had appeared in the list. He told the reporters: "It's extraordinary that in the years we've had the Lottery we haven't had anyone at this level." Mr Beresford said the winners would be best advised to keep quiet about their good fortune - and try to get themselves sacked from their jobs so as not to rouse suspicion. He said: "If they've got any sense they'll keep very, very quiet about it or go and live in Monaco, where they can afford to, where they'll just be one of 1,000-odd millionaires." As for leaving their jobs he said: "You've got to plan it very carefully and do it over the months. Get yourself sacked, that would be the best way." (Read by Casey Chin.
