BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's biggest individual lottery winner had no time to celebrate after becoming 20.4 million euros (14.2 million pounds) richer because he was too worried about being late for work. When the salesman, who was not identified by WestLotto, arrived on Thursday to buy his weekly lottery ticket at a shop in the industrial Ruhr area he was told last week's 12-euro ticket that he hadn't bothered to check had won the jackpot. The man's reaction left the lottery operator dumbfounded. "After he was told he had won the jackpot, he said he didn't have time to chat because he would get into trouble with his boss," a lottery spokesman in the western city of Muenster said. Instead, he rushed off to catch a bus to work. There were few details about the lucky man, a pigeon-lover in his 30s, except that he planned to trade in his rented apartment for something a little bigger in the country. It was not known if he would stay on in his job as a salesman. |

Is he mad?  If I won the lottery on the way to work I would happily upset my boss

thing is though I'd probably be in so much shock that'd be the sort of thing I'd do... I'm weird like that!! I have been 16 for 2 and a bit months and I've still not purchased a lottery ticket, people keep telling me I should but I don't really want to. |

I do actually know people that have got 3 numbers a few times, my child minder where I used to live actually got 4. I'd have to pick number 1 as it's my number but other than that I don't know what I'd choose! |
