Liverpool call centre workers scoop Euromillions jackpot share £45m

A syndicate of call centre workers have quit their jobs after scooping a monster £45m Euromillions lottery jackpot.

The team of seven IT workers from Liverpool's BT Royal House centre will each pick up around £5.5m.

It is understood they were unaware of their massive win until they arrived at work this morning and one syndicate member checked their ticket.

Two separate tickets matched Friday night's numbers - each sharing the £91m Euromillions jackpot.

One worker said: "You can only imagine what it was like when it dawned on them. I’ve heard they just went mad - screaming and shouting.

"It's been the talk of the building. No one can believe it. They are a very, very lucky bunch."

Another worker said the syndicate was whisked away earlier this morning by a Camelot representative.

Past winners sent their congratulations to the latest lottery multimillionaires.

Ms Kelly said: "I want to congratulate the lucky winners on taking my National Lottery title. My win has enabled me to bring a great deal of happiness to my friends and family, which has in turn made me very happy. I wish the new winner the best of luck."

Mr Gardiner said: "I'd say to the winner - enjoy yourself, do the one thing you have always wanted to do or buy, treat yourself with an impulse purchase and then take two steps back to let it all sink in."

The winning numbers were 11, 19, 34, 43 and 45. The Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.
