Even with the recent winner in the UK of the Euro lottery, they too appear to be a middle-aged couple, just like previous winners. Other anomalies also seem to be sticking out like a sore thumb.

This is extremely difficult to fathom or believe, given the mathematical odds of selling two jackpot winners, which are astronomical.
