Lotto win for Liz Taylor

HER namesake loves the lavish lifestyle and latest lotto winner, Elizabeth Taylor, can afford a little pampering herself now.

Elizabeth scooped the €3.1 million jackpot in last Wednesday’s draw although she only discovered her win on Friday, and it was yesterday before she could enjoy the feel of good fortune when she was handed the megacheque.

Unlike the movie queen who shares her name, however, level-headed Elizabeth isn’t likely to be seen disappearing in a swirl of fur coat and cloud of dust from the double exhaust of a stretch limo.
