The Euro Millions (lottery) jackpot of 185 million Euros was won by a single UK ticket holder.
At the time of the draw, that was the equivalent of about £164.7m but due to fluctuation in exchange rates, it's now worth only £162.5m. That's a loss of £2.2 million in a few hours. The mind boggles.
The 185m Euros is guaranteed but I wonder how I'd feel if I'd won it and knew that in UK terms it was worth over £2m less in such a short time. :eek:
Cheers,
Brian
