BT contractors and Wales couple are Euromillions £90 Million rollover winners

A syndicate of IT workers from Liverpool and a married couple from Newport, South Wales, have been identified as the winners of £45.5m each in the Euromillions jackpot.

Camelot has said the winners will talk about their plans for the windfall at press conferences tomorrow, when their full identities will also be revealed.

The Liverpool Echo reported that seven or eight workers from the BT Royal House centre would each be about £5.5m richer after dividing up their £45.5m.

It said the syndicate only found out about their massive win after they returned to work. A source at the company who wished to remain anonymous said the syndicate members were all from the management team.Another employee said she thought they worked for Hewlettt Packard.

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

Another worker said members of the syndicate had been escorted from work by representatives of Camelot, the company that runs the UK National Lottery.

A source at BT said "The lucky people do work in our Wood Street centre in Liverpool. They are employed by Hewlett Packard or by Manpower to do internal IT work, computer support."
