London, July 16 (ANI): A Scottish couple are 'tickled' after becoming richer than the likes of actor Sir Sean Connery and the Duke of Roxburghe, having won 161 million pounds in a lottery.
Chris and Colin Weir are now the 22nd richest people in Scotland after winning the EuroMillions jackpot.
"We had enjoyed a normal night in front of the TV watching CSI and so on. At around midnight, I decided it was time to turn in, but I did just quickly check the EuroMillions result on Teletext in our bedroom," the Scotsman quoted Chris Weir, 55, as saying.
"We had bought five lucky dips as the jackpot was now so big. I started circling the numbers I had matched but wasn't doing very well.
"Then on the fifth line, all the circles seemed to join up. I had all of them but couldn't believe what I was seeing. I checked them three or four times before going back downstairs to find Colin. He knew immediately by my face and tone that something was up," she added.
On asked how they spent the night after finding the lottery winners' hotline had closed at that time, she said that they couldn't sleep the entire night due to their increased flow of adrenaline.
"We just sat up. We were so buzzed. We were so full of adrenaline we couldn't sleep. We couldn't really do anything except sit. We talked to each other about how absolutely amazing this was," Chris said.
"We were tickled pink with the whole notion of winning so much money. We just couldn't believe it," she added. (ANI)
