Leah's report on Britain's big lottery winners
You might dream of become a multimillionaire - well, for some lucky people that's become a reality!
A couple from South Wales and group of computer workers from Merseyside have won the Euromillions lottery.
Les Scadding and wife Samantha scooped £45.5m with their golden ticket, and the seven workers get £6.5m each.
The couple are suddenly as rich as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, racing world champ Jenson Button, and even Man United footballer Michael Owen.
Les Scadding and wife Samantha found out they had won when he took his ticket to the supermarket on Saturday night and was given a bit of paper telling him to contact the lottery company.

He said "It was a very funny couple of minutes. We just looked at each other while it sunk in"
Their win tops the previous biggest lottery scoop in the UK of £35m which was won by Angela Kelly, from South Lanarkshire in August 2007.
Shopping list
Mr Scadding and his wife are already thinking of ways to splash their cash. A new car is on the shopping list along with a bigger house and some luxury holidays. So it seems like they are getting pretty used to the life of a celeb already.
