A group of BT call centre workers from Liverpool have won Britain's biggest lottery prize, a £45.5 million share of the Euromillions jackpot.
The Liverpool Echo reported that the seven or eight workers, who will each be roughly £5.5million better off, were unaware of their windfall until they arrived at work this morning. One worker told the Echo: "You can only imagine what it was like when it dawned on them. I've heard they just went mad - screaming and shouting."
The identity of the other winner of half the £91 million total jackpot has not yet been revealed.

This sort of money should not go to Liverpool. It will be spent on shell suits, Elizabeth Duke jewellry, Bacardi breezers and drugs.
It should be confiscated from them and redistributed around worthy causes in Richmond and Kingston.
